Looks like that Devil May Cry animated series is still coming out
- Thread starter Cicada 5
- Start date
https://za.ign.com/devil-may-cry-th...-over-multiple-seasons-stars-dante-and-vergil
- Season 1 scripts are done, 8 episodes, multi-season arc
- Vergil and Lady confirmed to make appearances
- Capcom supports the show (Shankar works directly with Hiroyuki Kobayashi)
Same. Hopefully they bring Dan Southworth back as Vergil, and especially Kari Walgreen as Lady. All three voice actors are more than available.
Considering they are adapting DMC 3 first, it does not surprise me. They probably want to wait before they start confirming and revealing stuff. As long as there's no Patty, I don't care. Hopefully, we can get Lucia for later seasons.
Patty wasn’t needed in the first animated series. Can’t believe she got referenced in DMC5.
I've seen more love for Lucia than I ever expected in recent years given how infamous DMC 2 is.
The love for Lucia was always there, it just got overshadowed by DMC2 hate at the time. What didn't help matters was that during the early YouTube days where everyone was copying AVGN, the hatred of the game went in even harder. Lucia, I admit that I was somewhat indifferent towards at the time, but I didn't exactly hate her or dislike her.
The best you are going to get is a prequel light novel that takes place before 5. Dante and Lucia meet up again, and explains how he got the weapons set Balrog.
Here you go. This is what she would have looked like had she appeared in the fifth game.
I thought this was just fan art.Here you go. This is what she would have looked like had she appeared in the fifth game.
I I know. This is somebody's what if. I wasn't trying to claim it official. I did write the message in a rush though.
Damn now I really want her back in a future game!Here you go. This is what she would have looked like had she appeared in the fifth game.
Okay I hate to be the one person to ask this, but is there a reason we seem to be pretending this is the first one of these? There was a Devil May Cry anime done before. Admittedly it was A) back in 2007, B) only a 12 episode limited series and C) frankly not very good. I know that because I owned it and the show blue balled you hardcore on Devil Trigger.
But I mean it did happen. So there actually is a baseline for this new one to be measured against apart from the games.
See, I'm not crazy!

No one is pretending anything; definitely not me. We all know the DMC anime sucked, and was this weird gaiden story with a little girl no one was asking for. Patty is no Chris Thorndyke, but I find her annoying and unnecessary. The only good thing about the 2007 anime is knowing how Trish and Lady met. Other than that, the show is tedious slog overall, with only a few standout moments here and there.
The reason why I everyone is reasonably excited is due to it being done by the same people who did Castlevania (2017). They already have a good pedigree, and most of us put are trust in them. If and when this show does well, it will be another step forward for game to movie adaptions.
