DMC anime rant because we don’t have enough of those…
My main thing is that the DMC vibe isn’t there. It has elements of the IP but that’s just it, it feels inspired by it. Which like no duh it’s a reboot/reimagining, so it not being exactly like the original is not a huge criticism. It just feels wrong though, like it’s wearing some dastardly meat suit of my beloved.
Do I like how they look? Ehhhhh. If Dante is supposed to be 18 like the time frame suggests then no, he looks too old. Idk it could work for like an after 3 show, def between 2 and 4.
I don’t like the demon designs. Agni and Rudra look like they’re were pulled from TABS and we might be in for a CGI ass pimple (will talk about animation later). Lady… Oh what did they do to my queen. Everyone’s talking about Vergil and Dante but have you SEEN what they put on my Diva????? WHY IS SHE IN A SPACE SUIT???? WHY IS SHE WORKING WITH THE SIDE CHARACTER BATTALION???? They sucked all the SSStyle out of her…
The animation looks pretty good but that’s only for the crazy battle scenes in the teasers, there is a fat chance we might get the invincible treatment and 15 minutes of each episode being made in go animate.
And… Vergil. My stinky binky boo boo bear… He wasn’t even in the trailer. Idk who that Buffoon in the Best Buy uniform was but I can’t believe he wasn’t there. Talking about some “long time no see brother” but maybe they’re gonna have a doppelgänger episode where the real Vergil is revealed.
In all seriousness though, I feel like out of anyone, capcom should know how important it was to nail Vergil. I was genuinely so shocked not hearing the Quantum ranger. Like out of all the VAs, Dan Southworth was the most likely to reprise his role. I hope more info comes out about it, I’m so curious (yeah🎶) on what happened. Dan loves playing Vergil that’s literally his baby (saying this like he told me that personally 💀). Like at the very least someone who sounds kinda like him in some way, I’ve seen my fair share of good Vergil impressions you couldn’t have found at least one??
Am I still gonna watch the show? I mean yeahh, I wanna complain if it’s bad. But it’ll be with a suspended belief and low expectations. My only hope is that it’s at the very least fun like the 2013 reboot. Was DMC squared a bad DMC? Ohhhhh yeah, but it was a fun game. Honestly the show might just face the same issue. Maybe everyone is gonna hate it now but in 10 years we’ll be like “wait guys… it was kinda fire…” and switch up. The worst thing the show can be, is boring. The moment you make DMC boring you need to pack your things and hand in your badge.
Things might look bleak now but let’s try to be optimistic guys 💔💔💔
