Today (3 April) on the streaming service Netflix premiered the animated series Devil May Cry, based on Capcom's game franchise of the same name.

Here's What We Know

All eight episodes of the first season are available to viewers.

As in the games, the Devil May Cry anime is centred around the young and daring demon hunter Dante, the son of the demon Sparda and the angel Eve. He has adopted the abilities of both his parents and his soul is torn between hell and heaven.

Dante has impressive agility and reaction speed, and uses not only the Rebellion sword he inherited from his father, but also the Ebony and Ivory pistols. He owns a small agency for the destruction of infernal creatures, where people turn to for help in eliminating demons.

The first reviews of the series are moderately positive, it turned out to be stylish, entertaining and unexpectedly fun, but some viewers call it chaotic.

Devil May Cry was created by Adi Shankar, the eccentric creator of the popular animated projects Castlevania and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, and his signature style is evident in every frame.
