Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry

Cursed to live as both monster and man, Dante must spend his life fighting the demonic forces of darkness. Brandishing his sword, Rebellion, and his always-loaded guns, Ebony and Ivory, Dante is more than happy to send the demons back to hell—especially when there’s money to be made. The wildly popular video game Devil May Cry is now a series, and this time, there’s no sympathy for the devil.

Warning this review may contain spoilers. First impressions, so devil may cry a anime adaptation of a video game about this guy who fights demons sounds cool enough. Story, 5/10 So the story of devil may cry is about dante who is a demon hunter and is also a demon-human hybrid. So if your a devil may cry fan you have probably wanted to know the question of what does dante do when he isn't saving the world or fucking some random chicks in a dumpster somewhere. Well if your asked yourself this question then you will me happy to know that this anime gives you idea. He fights Random demons he then eats pizza and sundaes and we are reminded that he is drowning in debt and doing all these things while being a badass. So from what you have just read so far you can pretty much guess that there really isn't really a plot to this and for the most part you would be right. Devil may cry story is for the most part very episodic it mostly includes stand alone missions. that dante dose for a living and some of what dante dose when he doesn't have work going on. Which is mostly him fucking around while eating high amounts of sundaes and pizzas. Which I am not an expert of demon or half demon biology but surely eating all that pizza and sundaes would probably slightly bad for him . unless in this world just demons really love pizza and sundaes. But other than that there really isn't much I can comment on this show doesn't really use all the ingredients that it could used and even if this show for all intents and purposes is a kick ass rule of cool show about some badass dude fighting demons. It doesn't use or play on many of the elements it's brings up. Like one example there was an episode where we find a demon falling in love with this human women and though this episode we find out that not all demons are evil monsters that destroy and kill everything in there path and demons themselves have the ability to grow not just in power and also there personality and beliefs. And what really bothers me is that they gloss over this idea in one episode, Which leaves me with few questions like why is this demon so different from the rest of his kind or what lead him to becoming like this. They never explain or expand on that idea and concept. Which I think is a wasted opportunity. Now I will mention that this show tried to have an overarching plot with the loli side kick that Dante has with him. That dose lead to this plot In the end but it really doesn't matter in the long run of things. What happens is that the this demon that's trying to become some sort of super demon and needs the loli side kicks blood or something she has to complete it. But it was boring and predictable and I don't care about in the lest. Like here is how they could have made this show ten times more interesting and not feel like a soulless video game ad in anime form. Still keep the episodic missions expect the episode count is 24 episodes and during these episodes we lean more about the lore and world of devil may cry. Because the demon and super natural elements are quite interesting and it would cool to explore Dante childhood as being a half demon/orphan or talk about what other super natural shit that going down that doesn't involve demons. It would be pretty cool to see Dante fight angels or some organization trying to capture or kill him because of his demonic nature. Surely that would be batter Than what we actually got and if it had those what ifs the story and anime could stand up on its own and not just be a video game adaptation. Character,6/10 The main character is pretty badass. I mean if you look up badass in the dictionary you would probably find this dude picture on it. He is pretty cocky and very relaxed , says bad ass lines and dose the most badass things you can think of. The side characters were also pretty cool as well. Except one character because for some reason this show has a loli side kick for dante Who pissed me off some times. The bad guys who are demons of the week. Are pretty much your throw away characters that I don't give a fuck about. Art, 6/10 The animation is pretty decent, it's very polished and shiny it is something you should watch in he if you can. It also has this kind of dim color scheme that goes well with the kind setting that this show has. It also has some pretty good fight animation as well. The demon designs were pretty cool as well. Dante also looks pretty cool as well. Sound, 5/10 Not a big fan of the opening or ending song. Because it just a background noise music which doesn't sound good to me. The ost is pretty decent and it fits the tone of the show pretty well. And I couldn't find out who did the ost. But ost is ok. The sub and dub is alight. Plus Dante English voice actor sounds like he does in the games. Enjoyment,6/10 I liked the fight scenes. I also like the characters as well. I also like some of the designs for the demons they were pretty cool. Overall,6/10 So if you are Looking for a decent rule of cool show then you will probably like this anime but it seems like to be that you would have to be fan of devil may cry in order to like it more. If you not a fan of the game you will mostly right this off as another sub par video game adaption.

O Anime de Devil May Cry ganha valor ao mostrar um ponto de vista diferente da vida do nosso caçador de demônios favorito, desde o primeiro game temos em vista um personagem completamente badass, que não se importa com muita coisa além de uma boa luta e fazer piadas de seus oponentes. Claro, em partes específicas de sua jornada temos momentos emocionantes e até mesmo tristes, como por exemplo quando ele acha que deixou Trish morrer, como se houvesse falhado com sua mãe de novo, momentos onde ele fala com o irmão ou de sua infância, levando o personagem até mesmo a chorar (daí o nome da franquia é óbvio), mas no geral o que temos é um fanfarrão, estiloso e piadista. Já aqui temos um Dante cansado, triste com sua vida, o anime em termos cronológicos se passa logo após “Devil May Cry (2001)” ou seja, seu irmão estava supostamente morto, sua vingança contra aquele que tirou a vida de sua mãe já havia sido concretizada e suas parceiras já não estavam mais presentes, então não havia nada que desse sentido em sua vida, ele era movido apenas pelos trabalhos que Morrison o entregava e o objetivo de proteger os fracos, mas aquilo era apenas um passatempo. Curiosamente os poucos momentos em que vemos Dante sorrindo e se divertindo é quando ele luta, já que nessas horas o personagem extravasava todos os seus problemas internos, o anime também deixa claro que o protagonista passava todos os dias se alimentando de pizza e sorvete, apenas como mais um escape de sua angústia, e em sua ending fica subentendido que o álcool também fazia parte de sua rotina. Só por esses exemplos já é válido dizer que esse anime é uma pérola em meio a franquia toda, mas as coisas ficam melhores por termos um contraponto a tudo isso que foi citado antes, “Patty Lowell” é a típica criança que mesmo jovem é madura e parece entender muito da vida e como as pessoas se sentem, e mesmo que a missão principal de Dante seja defendê-la e escoltá-la, em maior parte é ela que cuida dos sentimentos dele e o apoia, criando uma relação quase que entre irmãos. Claro que existem momentos onde um ensina o outro sobre diferentes aspectos da vida, mas é Patty quem dá um motivo para Dante viver, seja através de suas broncas ou de sua simpatia que pareciam estar faltando na vida do protagonista há um bom tempo. Outro ponto em que a série acerta é em não depender apenas da missão principal mas finalmente mostrar Dante e os demais agindo como genuínos caçadores de demônios, coisas que são citadas em todos os jogos da franquia mas nunca mostrados, claro que eles ainda agem como protetores da humanidade, mas finalmente é mostrado o lado mercenário, que aceita os trabalhos por dinheiro, o lado investigador é de suma importância nesses momentos, mostrando que Dante não é só uma máquina de lutar sem nenhuma estratégia ou inteligência, as relações que a existência de demônios causa na humanidade também é retratada, mais um ponto positivo já que na maioria dos jogos isso é deixado de lado. As cenas de ação também são decentes, por mais que Dante resolva a maioria de seus casos com extrema facilidade faz todo o sentido, já que nesse ponto da história o personagem é completamente invencível. O anime também traz curiosidades bacanas como a maneira que Dante consegue seus trabalhos através de seu parceiro Morrison, como Trish e Lady se reconheceram e começaram sua rivalidade, laços nunca antes explorados de Sparda e outros demônios que seguiam sua ideologia, entre outros momentos interessantes. Enfim, esse anime é um deleite para qualquer fã da franquia e um passatempo para um público casual.
