As the weekend approaches, the entertainment scene might seem a bit quieter than usual, making it the perfect time to dive into Netflix's latest animated series based on the beloved video game franchise, Devil May Cry. The series is now available for streaming, bringing the stylish action of the iconic devil hunter Dante to your screens.

Featuring an impressive voice cast and animated by the renowned Studio Mir, the series is guided by the experienced showrunner Adi Shankar. Set in a unique universe and timeline, the show explores a younger version of Dante, offering fans a fresh perspective on the character before he becomes the legendary figure we all know and love.

The release of this animated series comes at a time when Devil May Cry is experiencing a renaissance. The impact of the most recent game, DMC:5, continues to be felt, and the Western release of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat by Tencent a few years ago has kept the franchise in the spotlight. With the animated series reigniting interest, it raises exciting possibilities about the future of this storied franchise.

This party's getting crazy! Adi Shankar's involvement in the project brings mixed feelings, given his past contributions, such as bringing Dredd to the big screen. While some fans express concerns about his Americanized approach to Devil May Cry, his dedication to the projects he's involved in is undeniable.
