Devil May Cry: The Animated Series, Vol. 1

Product Review
The anime Devil May Cry: the Animated Series takes place in between Devil May Cry 1 and 4, and it works to bridge the two stories together. Each episode has its own story, with a series-long storyline in the background until the last couple of episodes. The great part about this series is that it shows Dante's life as a demon mercenary rather than him inadvertently following in Sparda's footsteps in defeating a major threat. Madhouse and Capcom did a great job appealing to fans as well, as they brought back Lady and Trish for the storyline. There is quite a bit of character development in Dante's sidekick in the series, Patty, but other than that the recurring characters are the same that fans know and love.

Most anime, get their own video game after having a series. Devil May Cry, however is another example of how good an anime series coming from a video game is. This is one for any anime fan and any devil may cry fan. Great writing, top notch animation, and tons of fresh, fun, originality that makes this anime stand out among the crowd.
