I watched ep1 of the animated series. The anime of DMC is something different. Episode 1 was pretty good as someone who has never played DMC series though

The aesthetic of this series are a coordinated attack against my tates to make me the least interested in it I could possibly be

I hated all these bands.

I guess maybe not Evenescense so much but I really only liked that one song everyone knew.

Halfway through now (4/8 episodes) and this is very enjoyable even though as a non-player of the games I dont know a lot of anything about any of the characters. Mary and Dante are the best two so far. Wouldnt be surprised if a lot of the demon characters are original.

Ive mostly seen fans of the games dumping all over the plot of this animated series. Apparently it does a lot of different stuff and The White Rabbit character in the animated series seems to be the most liked thing from it

Watching it right now. The wife watched 6 episodes yesterday before realizing I may like it and so stopped so we can watch it together.

She had no idea DMC is a videogame and thought this was just a new anime show

Watched. I enjoyed it enough as its own thing even though it obviously has pretty big shifts from the games. White Rabbit was the best part as others have mentioned (until he went hulk anyway) and I was kind of hoping he'd stick around somehow. Enzo was also great along with all the references like that other job Dante took in a certain city. Also hoo boy that ending. Gonna be funny to see how they're going to try to tackle DMC2 stuff with the Arius tease.

I had to leave the DMC subreddit because they're just seething with ridiculous negativity over this but all the sane human beings I've spoken with seem to largely enjoy it! Haven't watched yet but will probably do so next week

5 episodes in and it's... Fine? I don't think it really feels like a Devil May Cry series, though. Dante is taking way too much of a backseat to everyone else and it's clear they have no idea what to do with his power level because it's all over the place and not very fun.

I've only played DMC 1+2 but literally remember none of it. I enjoyed the show and so did the wife.

Hope this isn't a cowboy bebop situation where I enjoyed the live action and hadn't seen the original. Then everyone laid into it because it wasn't the same as the source material and it got cancelled

Based on what I've heard of the anime, I have no interest in it and it shouldn't be especially surprising that it's divisive among people who played the source material.

I've watched 3 episodes now and it's...ok? Like if I had never played the games and thought it was its own new thing, it would be fine enough although even then it's purely just "fine". They really make Lady want to say fuck though huh, normally I'm perfectly fine with that but boy they really lay it on thick with it. In general though something just feels off about it, like they got the basic gist of Devil May Cry but not really much more than that. White Rabbit is indeed as cool as he needs to be so far though, at least there's that.

Ok episode 4 was not very good, probably my least favorite so far. Lady is just not very likable in this incarnation so far.

It's very bad and Lady is fucking awful.

Most everything Adi Shankar touches turns to trash.

Even if it was good, casting JYB as Dante is a horribly poor choice. Recast Langdon if you want, whether it's because he's an antivax nutjob or because he claims he's retired, but don't cast the guy known for voicing one of the other main characters in the series.

Just finished it, yea that wasn't very good overall. Ending is pretty abysmal lmao. Guess I'll put a few notes from various episodes

  • Wow that wasn't a good version of Devil Trigger played
  • 6th episode might have been the best episode but because it had not much to do with what was happening the rest of the show lol, also the animation style for White Rabbit's origins in Hell is something I kind of wish the whole series used, I really liked that.
  • White Rabbit being human who put on a rabbit mask is kind of lame and makes no sense for how his head with the rabbit mask on works, him being a demon rabbit would have been way cooler, however even lamer was him hulking out at the end. He's still cool prior to that but damn.
  • And yea, wow that ending. American Idiot was awful being played there, not to say what actually transpired during that time too. In general the music was misused all over this series, the new Evanescence song in the 6th episode was probably the only one I actually thought worked.
  • Lady still not a likable version of the character even to the end. What a shame.

I finished it last night as well. It feels for all the world like they wanted to tell a story with this general plot and modern political theming (done with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer) and just slapped a Devil-May-Cry coat of paint on it halfway through development.

Episodes with a lot of Dante were pretty good. Episodes with little-to-no Dante, or Dante being around but doing very little, were pretty bad. Shocked Pikachu face.

Bang-average as a series. Pathetic as an adaptation. I just wanted to see Dante doing cool stuff and being a dork for 8 episodes and instead I got the Lady Show... But a terrible version of Lady with extra plot armor and a side of the writers forgetting about all of her development in the last two minutes. Woof. I just don't understand what the point of this was. Who is this for?

They should've recast Reuben even if he didn't go off the deep end. His current voice wouldn't have suited a younger Dante. The social media stuff just made it a no-brainer.

Johnny Young Bosch was a very bizarre choice though.

The more I think about this show, the madder I get. We basically got a gory version of YYH's Chapter Black, 30 years later, that just happens to ostensibly star Dante but really stars Lady.

I'll watch Season 2 because I think it's capable of finding it's footing, but man, they've already lost some things that they can't get back.

Apparently the show was a lot more popular among casuals than the diehard fanbase, so the show will probably be considered a success

Sure, whatever, as long as Capcom doesn't take inspiration from it for DMC6
