Four awesome episodes...
|
This volume contains the first four episodes of a twelve-part series of quasi-disconnected stories that basically depict Dante's daily life and standard devil-hunting jobs, two aspects that are not explored in the games. For this alone, fans of the game series and most particularly of Dante himself will want to check out at least the first volume, but the anime stands on its own fairly well. There is only one glaring flaw that brings it down--throughout all twelve episodes (ten individual stories and one two-part finale), the good guys are never properly challenged. That is the only aspect that can truly be called a disappointment, and because the series is not very unique or deep (of course it's not deep, it's barely half the size of a standard TV series's single season!), it's probably not for anyone who's not already a fan of the games.
That said, the animation is top notch and the English dub is definitely one of the better anime dubs I've come across, utilizing the full talents of the videogames' current voice actors to full effect. Dante is particularly good, perfectly portrayed. The four episodes on this disc are all good ones, in my humble opinion, so the volume is definitely worth the buy if you didn't already get it in the Devil May Cry 4 Collector's Edition.
Fans of the games may be disappointed that Dante doesn't exhibit much of what he does in the games (such as Devil Trigger or various weapon types), but that doesn't factor into my score in the slightest. Just thought I'd include it as a caveat for those who DO care, tho'. |
