Devil May Cry Anime Debuts on Netflix

• The Devil May Cry animated series premieres today on Netflix
• The show features a younger Dante before he became the legendary demon hunter
• Helmed by showrunner Adi Shankar, it demonstrates the franchise's lasting popularity

As we approach the weekend with relatively few major releases, now seems the perfect moment to highlight Netflix's newest video game adaptation - Devil May Cry has officially arrived on the streaming platform!

Boasting stellar voice talent, animation by Studio Mir, and Adi Shankar's creative direction, this fresh take on the franchise has naturally attracted significant buzz. Set in its own continuity before the main game timeline, the series explores Dante's early years before he evolved into the iconic character fans adore.

The Devil May Cry franchise continues its resurgence, with 2019's DMC 5 still making waves and Tencent's mobile title Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat maintaining its Western presence. With this animated series sparking renewed interest, fans are left wondering what's next for this storied franchise.

While Adi Shankar's approach divides opinions, his track record (including bringing Dredd to theaters) earns my respect regardless of creative choices. Early reactions suggest some fans question his Americanized interpretation of DMC, but no one can deny the meticulous craftsmanship evident in his productions.
