As we approach the weekend, things may be quieter than usual, making it the perfect time to dive into Netflix's latest animated series, which is based on a beloved video game. That's right, the "Devil May Cry" animated series has now made its stylish debut on the streaming platform.
With an all-star voice cast, the acclaimed Studio Mir handling the animation, and veteran showrunner Adi Shankar steering the project, it's no wonder this series has captured so much attention. Set in its own universe and taking place before the events of the main series, it offers a fresh look at a younger Dante, before he evolved into the iconic devil hunter we all know and love.
The "Devil May Cry" franchise is experiencing a renaissance, with the recent success of "DMC:5" still resonating strongly, and the Western release of "Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat" by Tencent a few years back. The animated series is reigniting interest and sparking curiosity about what the future might hold for this storied franchise.
**This party's getting crazy!** I have mixed feelings about Adi Shankar, but his role in bringing "Dredd" to cinemas earns him a lot of goodwill. While some fans have expressed concerns about his more Americanized approach to "Devil May Cry," there's no denying the dedication and effort he pours into his projects.
