I finally bought the third and final dvd and have now finished my collection for this fantastic series. This dvd has one episode where Dante, Lady, and Patty are on board a luxurious gambling ship and their job is to kill a demon who preys on the weaknesses of gamblers who take betting on chance to a new extreme. The final three episodes are probably the most interconnected of the series as they show the true plot of the demon Sid whose been stalking Dante from the shadows and the emergence of Patty’s true mother and why she abandoned Patty in the first place. The extras are just what you’ve probably have seen with the other two dvd’s, some cut scenes from the devil may cry 4 game, and some trailers but that’s pretty much it for the extras. For me these thirteen episodes seemed to short and I really hope they make some more episodes later on because the series has been very entertaining for me. So if you’re a Devil May Cry fan or just looking for a great supernatural/action anime this series is a good choice for you…
Devil May Cry is a bit quirky to begin with. I love these quirky characters. Patty as Dante’s daughter figure really makes me laugh, she keeps him in line. But then again, so does Trish and Lady. Dante and the crew face a manipulative cache of demons that want to take him and the people he knows out. Of course there’s a lot of swearing and blood gushing, so this is as Dante would say, “for adults only.” I wish that Capcom would do another set of Devil May Cry anime, I’d certainly would buy it.
Well, this series can be looked at like this: If you were to mash together the PS2 games, added a ho-hum group of secondary characters, remove most of the story that followed the games, then you have a start on what to look at for this one. I personally have loved the animation quality and the music, they have both been high quality over the course of the series. The voice actors do okay, even if a few lines felt forced from them,(especially some of Dante’s lines.) The main problem with the series, is that while they have the big characters from the games that us DMC fans like, (Dante, Trish, Lady, etc.) they put them in rather unusual situations. The best example was the episode ‘Death Poker’, which had Dante playing poker with a group of people we did not know hardly anything about, or truly even care about. Then they keep dying off, one by one without any real explanation as to why until later in the episode. The last two episodes were worth the price of admission, but I had stronger hopes for this series. Overall, I think the series deserves an overall 3.5 out of 5. I would love to have put it higher, but the series was too much of a mixed bag of great episodes, and too many ho-hum ones.
