As we head into the weekend, the entertainment scene is a bit quieter than usual, making it the perfect time to dive into Netflix's latest animated series, Devil May Cry, which is now available for streaming. This series introduces viewers to a younger version of the iconic devil hunter, Dante, before he became the legendary character we know and love.
With an impressive voice cast and animation by Studio Mir, and under the guidance of veteran showrunner Adi Shankar, Devil May Cry has quickly captured the attention of fans and newcomers alike. Set in its own universe and timeline, the series promises to explore Dante's early adventures, adding a fresh perspective to the beloved franchise.
The release of this animated series marks a significant moment in the ongoing renaissance of the Devil May Cry franchise. The impact of the most recent game, DMC:5, remains strong, and the launch of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat in the West by Tencent a few years ago has kept the series in the spotlight. The animated series not only reignites interest but also raises questions about the future of this enduring franchise.
**This party's getting crazy!** Adi Shankar's involvement brings a unique flair to the project. Despite some fans expressing concerns over his more Americanized approach to the Devil May Cry universe, there's no denying the dedication and effort he pours into his work. Shankar's track record, including his role in bringing Dredd to cinemas, showcases his ability to breathe new life into established properties.
