Reddit is wild because the people in the DMC reddit will go,
“Omg you people complain about anything, the show is different from the games get over it.”
And it’s like,
“Yeah, people who really care about the games are upset that the thing, which was marketed to them as well, is barely like the games which they love.”
I just want to say that I think those who dislike the show have every right to be nit picky and annoying as long as they aren’t attacking those who like it.
Non-spoilery thoughts on Netflix's second season of Devil May Cry.
Note: I did grow up with the OG games and the OG anime; however, I went into the entire Netflix adaptation with the perspective that it's an alternate universe/take on the Devil May Cry world.
- The story is acceptable. Progression-wise, I felt it was an okay pacing, and the flow of events made sense to me. Though there are moments in the season that had me thinking "Yeah this is unnecessary," and I did feel like Dante was kind of on the side-line. But, in my opinion (and note that I am biased], it was made up for with Vergil focus.
- They clearly blended plot points from Devil May Cry 2 and 3 with very obvious callbacks to Devil May Cry 5. In terms of how they handled the plot points they were taking inspiration from, I would say the things from 3 were strongly carried. 2...mm...it was okay. A certain character's portrayal makes me sad (Hint: Female character from 2, if you know, you know), and while I did go into watching this project with the mindset of seeing it as it's own independent universe...it still was sad to see her character be like...that. ó_ò
But I won't lie...she was an amazing villain.
The Devil May Cry 5 references were pretty good. Mainly, I am referring to how they used a certain scene & line from the game at the end of the series. It just made me emotional for the Sparda brothers.
- Again, this season did not miss the music choices, and they did not miss the FIGHT SCENES. I was enjoying myself sooooo much for those. Favourite fight (and, if you know me, you will not be surprised at my choice): Vergil's massacre of the Darkcom soldiers to "Bodies" by Drowning Pool. ...I am not ashamed to say I was screaming.
- Characterization; I already noted my disappointment with a certain lady from DMC2's portrayal in the show...but I say everyone else was pretty acceptable - especially Lady from where she left off at the end of Season 1. I was afraid they would leave a lot of the "not great" things she did in SEASON 1 unanswered, but a lot of it carried in how she acted in Season 2.
Dante comes in second: This boy is sooo traumatized. He lost a lot, especially after Season 1 and Season 2 actually addresses that. He has always been traumatized, but it's nice to see that side more shown than the "woo-hoo, fun time" mask that I saw in Season 1. He would have been in first place for characterization had Lady's betrayal not been so glossed over. In my opinion, I feel like...Dante should've been a bit more upset about that.
Vergil, my beloved....he's in 3rd. I liked him. I really do. I say they handled his character pretty...okay. They hit the base defining notes of his character that would come to mind if you know him from the game and added some more to it to fit into the world of this adaptation. Positives: I liked how they subtly hinted at his humanity despite all his "Humanity is a weakness" yap, and that he does care about Dante despite all that...<_< sibling miscommunication tension. They handled his character growth for the role he plays in this story pretty well. I enjoyed it. NEGATIVES: ...SO...um...I don't enjoy how they handled his relationship with Mundus... It was definitely interesting, and I say it was handled well for how they chose to leave it at the end. Though I did say I view this world as separate from the games, it still made me feel uncomfortable, but if that was the point then...well congrats, writers, you succeeded. And in connection with that, everytime Vergil talked bad about his mom....man, I wanted to smack him so bad. But, again, I feel like maybe that's the intention of the writers. So, take my negatives as just stemming just from my own personal feelings because, when you remove that, their spin on these relationships for Vergil were actually pretty good: it added story progression and tension between the brothers beyond the "sibling rivalry" that they have. [Also Robbie Daymond did such a good job as Vergil, guys.]
Unrelated to the ranking, I actually liked Arius' portrayal. My memory of him from DMC2 is of this almost comedic cartoon-y kind of evil boss figure. Netflix's adaptation made him genuinely menacing.
- A certain ship happened in the show. I feel like I'm the unpopular opinion by saying that I genuinely didn't mind it. Did the first romance scene that happened feel out of place? Yeah , but everything after felt right for the characters in this world. I'm definitely curious to see how they will move forward with it based on where they ende at the end of Season 2.
- Last but not least, the Dante & Vergil relationship & portrayal. I actually really liked it. Again, I am biased as a Vergil-lover...but I genuinely loved how we were given MORE of the Sparda brothers interacting.
Devil May Cry 3, as great as it is, gives us little in terms of interactions between the brothers, which is understandable considering it is a dramatic, epic yet charmingly cheesy hack-n-slash action game - and then the next time we see the brothers, it's Devil May Cry 5 and it's still minimal on the brothers' interaction. Any information we get about Dante and Vergil's dynamic is often deciphered from what little bits of printed lore we gotta look for (especially since a lot of the printed lore, aka the novels, remain in Japan's sphere, not much localised beyond the V-centric manga and the original Devil May Cry anime).
The Netflix show gave so much interaction, and they genuinely felt like brothers the entire time they shared a screen together (Vergil having his moments being the annoyed older brother - *chef's kiss*) - albeit toxic brotherly interaction, but still...on brand for these two. And the progression of their relationship from their reunion at the start to where it ended up at the end of Season 2, it genuinely had impact to me. (And if you know their story, I think you already know how this season ends.) I genuinely felt sad for the brothers in the show, just as much as I felt bad for their overall relationship in the games.
I'm definitely looking forward to having my heart ripped out in Season 3.
In short, I'd give this show a 6/10. It's entertaining. It has its moments that make me go "Mm...yeah, no wtf," but there were also moments in the overall story that kept me interested to see how it ends. However, I must note that I did view this story as if it's own separate world from the story painted in the original game series. If you are a fan who WANTS the show to be a complete copy of the games then...yeah, you won't like this. If you can just look at the show as its own take on the elements and characters of the Devil May Cry world than...I say you may find this entertaining, at the very least.

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Just finished watching the Devil May Cry Netflix show and I have the need to scream into the void about it!
So here are my NON-SPOILER thoughts about...
The plot is pretty okay - don't expect a 100% copy of any Dante origin story [or any of the OG character's origin stories] but it's a good time so long as you don't hold the show to "total accuracy" kind of standards. There are some plot elements - mostly the world-building stuff- that I, personally, am not a big fan of, but the main conflict was interesting and I was buckled in and enjoying the ride.
The animation is amazing, and, with it, the fight scenes. I was in a constant state of hype with all the fights.
Also THE MUSIC. KICKS. ASS. If you, like me, held a special attachment to early 2000s rock: You are gonna have so much fun with the music of this show.
Voice actors are pretty freakin' great! Is it weird to hear Nero's voice come out from Dante's mouth? Yeah... but still doesn't take away that Johnny Yong Bosch continues to give a SSS performance. You will get used to it [hopefully] and you will enjoy his take on Dante [in my opinion]. The new VAs, in my opinion, were wonderful. And, honestly, the guy who voiced the White Rabbit - Hoon Lee - stole the show in my opinion.
And lastly... this show felt like a love letter to the Devil May Cry franchise, in my opinion. To say anymore would be spoiler territory, so if you wanna know the context...I genuinely would recommend watching the show.
Now to pray for a possible second season but OH MY GOOOOOOOOD THAT ENDING.

DMC NETFLIX ANIME TEASER TRAILER LETS FUCKING GOOOO

heart’s pursuit 🏃🏻
Staying alive was never Jason's strong suit
So many paths to follow and no wizard gps...
I tried to adapt the dialogues into English. 📌 What if...Hermes had told a little bit about what happened in the God Games?? He's the God of travelers, so telling stories along the way should be part of him (it's noticeable that he wanted to). Besides, he didn't mention Athena at all.
I don't use Spotify. But I sure do use YouTube music. So here's my 2024 recap
so how about that saga huh
Meet the Mayari triplets!
Is it realistic for triplets to all major in the same degree? Probably not, but whenever I play games that allow me to customize the main character, I tend to just make each different playthrough's MC siblings since making up surnames is harder than coming up with first names.
Usually I tend to be a quiet fan for a lot of the VNs that I play, but Keyframes by @blank-house just hits so different! The characters are so loveable and well-written and the vibes are just so comforting... Honestly, no surprise that it became my current hyperfixation.
The sheer fact that I have 3 MCs (so far... <_<) kind of shows just how much I have been playing this game's demo. Also, can I just gush about how much variety there is??? It's crazy and so fun! Definitely gonna jump on the support once their Kickstarter starts!
Seriously 10 bajillion/10: highly would recommend.
P.S.: Can you guess who's the love interest for each Mayari? [HINT: What symbol / color is sticking out like a sore thumb in each character sheet?]
