Reminds me of that one shitty game trailer everyone made fun of. Forspoken I think? The one where the girl was like oh and now Im doing MAGIC?! Guess thats something I do now.

I genuinely hate that brand of dialogue

Finished Lady May Cry.

Yep. Way too much of her. I enjoyed episode 6 for what it was despite her being...30-40% of it. But I also didn't like Rabbit's motivation for bringing down the wall. Made no fucking sense to combine both worlds when his initial motivation was to create a safe space for the innocent Makaians. His talk about how it'll be safer after a few generations didn't make much sense to me either.

Action was generally good but yeah, it might as well have been Lady May Cry. I'd give it a 6.5/10

Pretty sure they say or imply it wasnt always like that. Mundus et al. trashed the place, but the realms were also thrown out of equilibrium by the separation. His goal was to bring the wall down and usher in the new normal.

I'm only like 3 episodes in. It's fine but something seems missing. I like the rabbit guy. He's sufficiently creepy. Dante is on point. He's doing cool shit for no reason and being his goofy self. The music is very fitting no matter which way you interpret that.

I'm not a huge fan of JYB here though. I feel He's a terrible pick for Dante. Hes still coming off somewhat serious even when Dante is fucking around. Everything else is also having that vibe of being overly dreary and serious. Normally, that's fine but they're such a huge part of the show that it's too much. It just becomes evil Trix rabbit vs very serious straight laced demon hunters. Then Dante who is written correctly but his VA is often too serious. It's a lot of boring mixed in with "Jackpot" moments

Goofy and cheesy but not in the Deadpool kind of way. He plays around a lot but gets very serious when needed.

And his jokes are not in marvels style at all >_>

Yeah. And most of his jokes aren't really jokes, but demeaning critique against demons to rile them up and get under their skin.

A lot of what the Netflix Dante seems to miss, since he feels like a Marvel written character here personally.

I feel the opposite about JYB, I feel like he doesn't have the gravitas that Dante should have. Maybe I'm just too used to him as Nero to where I can't separate the two

I remember people being upset when Dante cursed once in the first anime. Dante was created with a very specific idea of being cool. No cursing or smoking for example.

So to have another westerner come in and decide that these things are fine is very annoying.

A character like Dante is honestly pretty difficult to write despite seeming simple. Dantes coolness is completely ironic. The dude is a dork. Like, a major dork.

However, what makes him lovable is the confidence he has in how he carries himself. He is 100% secure in who he is and doesnt care what people think about his goofy actions. That is what makes him ironically cool.

From what Ive seen of the show, I dont get that at all.

Yes I feel the show went south for me after episode 4. Episode 5 was major wtf to me on that scene with the demons. Not only that but lady got more of the spotlight for sure, hated the CG Demon form, Dante never keeps any of the weapons from the DMC3 bosses and ending felt so rushed especially some bad writing.

I did like the fights as well as It did make me smile to see DMC2 cameos and who the US leader was. I'm guessing lady will end up finding out what they did and free Dante. Just go rogue in the end leaving the military. Vergil im pretty mixed about here. Really assumed he was just brainwashed by mundus the whole time.

Overall a 7/10 for me but would've rated higher if it wasn't for that weak ending imo

The thing with Lady and the ending is that she had to know what the military did with invading the demon realm at the end. They weren't hiding it, and she turned Dante in anyway. Which completely negates what little character development she had and made no sense

Is this another case of someone taking an IP and using it as a trojan horse for their own story? It's wild to me that you take the story/setting of Devil May Cry and turn it into Lady being the main character in a plot that's an allegory to the War on Terror. >_>

Yeah. And Ill be clear: there is nothing wrong with political commentary making its way into a narrative. Its natural for writers to sprinkle their own views and ideas into their work. Thats how art works.

That being said, DMC is certainly an interesting choice to tell a commentary on the war on terror and not a very good choice at that.

the war on terror bit is weird but i didn't mind it much from me this is just a show from a DMC fan retelling the story in their AU fanfiction and that's ok
so far i am still enjoying the show it does have rough edges but overall i am having a blast with it

wish Dante was more at the forefront instead of feeling like a secondary character. could have sworn he was the actual protagonist of the series instead of that other chick...

also, there are spots where the animation feels iffy. and Im not a fan of that CGI. dont see a reason why certain demons were 2D and others had CGI in them unless the budget for this was low or something, i dunno. lol

Apparently the shit writer behind this and Castlevania is interested in Berserk.

Can't fucking wait to see how the Apostles are innocent and Griffith did nothing wrong, chuck in some contemporary American politics that make no sense while we're at it.

I will not accept a genocidal near literal baby eater getting any ending other than "burns up in the sunlight" or something of that sort.

Might as well argue that Johan Liebert, Griffith, Frieza, and Judge Holden can be redeemed.

Okay....the church burning Lisa at the stake is from the games? And Dracula is still a villain? Like, killing him is very necessary in season 2 because he's gone absolutely over the bend ballistic and won't listen to reason?
