    Just throwing this out there … I LOVED the original Madhouse anime … Dante looked awesome. I loved the episode (ep 3 “Not Love”) that showed not all demons are evil. The gothic feel was NAILED. I loved when Lady and Trish showed up. I loved the epic finale. I STILL listen to the theme song. I also loved the monster of the week story structure.
    I have many respectful 🫡 nods to this in my Devil May Cry universe. ❤

    1:43 For anyone who doesn’t know or hasn’t kept up to date with the timeline, prior to 5’s release Capcom retconned the timeline order. It used to be 3142.
    Now it’s 3, 1, anime, 2, 4 and 5. It would explain why Dante wasn’t his usual self in the anime and 2, he’s a post DMC1 Dante still coming to terms with losing Vergil not once but twice at that point in the story. Since 4 he’s back to his old self due to still having family (Nero)

      Even Dante was similar to his anime and DMC2 self at the start of DMC4. Then Nero drop kicks his face and Dante starts to have fun. It shows that after DMC2 Dante started to heal but still melancholy, he is no longer in his DMC2 phase and a bit better than his anime phase. Nero kicking Dante in the face probably triggered fond memories of his spares with Vergil from his childhood.

    I love this version of Dante too actually. And I do like how it unintentionally leads into DMC2 Dante’s attitude (he came across as rather cold in that game even though he was only pretending to not care during that time. In the anime he’s moreso just cranky at times but still hangs out with his friends and shows a lot of compassion for people who need it.) compare this to say, Before The Nightmare (another piece of media where we get scenes of Dante just kinda living his everyday life) where he’s a lot friendlier with the people he interacts with. It’s actually one of my favorite Dante iterations because we rarely see him in non world ending situations so it provides a lot to his characterization actually. Some people may find his more tired/aloof attitude boring but I think they did it well here.

    I know what Studio Reuben is referring to in the podcast. It was ADV... I was there during ADV's downfall. One of their last releases was the first two volumes of the Devil May Cry Anime, but the third and final volume would get a Funimation release years later after their properties were sold to multiple anime publishers. And ADV by reputation are a mixed bag when it came to their Dubs. During the 90's they owned the Evangelion license, but they also had some underrated gems such as Gunsmith Cats and my guilty pleasure being the 90's Tekken Anime.

    I don't think I ever considered The DMC animated series to be good at all when it came to the story. Felt like a lot of wasted potential that we fans have been waiting to see. However, the main reason I stuck around was because of the smooth crispy animation, the badass music/opening, and of course the main reason, Daddy Dante. Whenever this man took off his coat and it was the vest with the black sleeves, I just wanted to load DMC 3 again just to use that fit!

    "Desperado" is a great movie, and I do believe they put some moves from it in the Gunslinger style. I liked the anime and the "demon of the week" pacing... the Abigail plot was a little disappointing, I expected more. As a standalone anime, I think it works fine; it's entertaining and in line with short animes released at the same time, nothing too ambitious.

    I know it has its issues, the fights are dumbed down and the main plot was a little disappointing.
    But I absolutely love this anime. One of my top favs. I watch it every couple months.
    I like to see the less wacky wahoo pizza man side of Dante and the human depresso side of him. I love seeing how Dante interacts with smaller gigs and less word ending kinds. I love knowing what his favourite song is. I genuinely do love that this anime takes a look into the human side, how Dante deals with other peoples love, not killing a demon because it has a heart and soul unlike the rest, he won’t kill humans.
    The starting theme is so hype, so Dante killing demons and badass, but the closing theme of Dante just sitting there with a beer all alone it’s slow, calm and sorta unlike what we are use to but I think adds to his character. I think the theme is of a woman singing, I think it’s Dante thinking of his mother, drinking away the sorrow and pain.
    The anime may not be a high action comedy thing, but it does explore Dante’s story and his emotions more. And that’s why I love it.
    Despite everything he’s been through despite losing everyone and being depressed, he will do as he must and take down demons. Save humanity, for a price ofc, he’s not a Spiderman type person who will go looking for a fight to help someone but I belive he’ll do the right thing if needed. And this anime has made my love for Dante greater to me it’s inspirational that he can get back up give a >:) and kick ass, despite the shit he’s been through even though he’s depress, he won’t give up, and it’s because of that I inspire to be like him. I’ve had depression and wanted to give up but finding DMC, and seeing Dante’s story I too want to stand tall through it all and fight on.
    Thank you DMC and thank you DMC anime for showing me the other side of Dante.

      ​@@AntonioRedgravehello and thanks for your reply and yes I get and got that. But what I'm saying is it doesn't work either way. It don't make sense he wouldn't have pawned his weapons in the first place. It makes more sense for him to have all of his weapons to take out more demons to have or make more money. Let's hope that is not a plot that this next one goes with. It would have been so cool to see him with his different weapons and all, it just feels like there's something missing from this DMC anime because of all the weapons he has through the games. I'm trying to remember if he even charged ebony and ivory with his demon powers I'm going to rewatch it when I move then. All packed up right now though as moving soon. Thank you for your information. What are you mainly expecting from this new DMC anime and now my problem is that if they are going to release it on physical format because that seems to be hit and miss. If they do or not.

    • @AntonioRedgrave
      @AntonioRedgrave  2 месяца назад +1

      So in the drama the way it was explained was that Dante didn't pawn them off, but Enzo was holding them as collateral. But it's also been shown that he does reuse them. He has coyote-a in 4 and 5, he uses Cerberus in the Before The Nightmare prequel novel to defeat Balrog, and he brings Balrog with him to take down Urizen.
      I do understand what you mean though because we don't *see* these things happen, it's just additional context.
      As for my expectations, I'm trying to stay away from setting them too high. Going off the trailers so far I'm excited for the action and a different take on DMC that isn't... well you know lol
      I'm going to assume it'll release physically at some point, you'll just have to look out for it. I saw Castlevania Nocture in Walmart just the other day actually, but I'm not sure how long it took them to officially release it om DVD

Now this Netflix show has the chance to have better action and hopefully a continuous story instead of an Episodic Cowboy bebop /supernatural thing going on. The op is still amazing the characters designs are great the dub has the precious Reuben but it was just decent . This new show seems to be a amalgamation of material kinda like they did wit Castlevania on Netflix so we got enemies from 3,4 , 1,2, reference to DMC 5 when u log into Netflix you see Dante with a cowboy hat etc . Hopefully Enzo is in this new show hopefully we get a look at Vergil and lady in the new show . Since we combining stuff might as well throw Trish in there I guess

    HEAVY TLDR BIG FEELINGS⚠️
    I really think anyone reading this should realize, as a fan, I'm after quality and fairly criticizing EVERYTHING.
    ..
    This anime has good things going but so much wasted potential.
    In short it always looked like the creators have no idea what to settle for in terms of pace, tone and consistency.
    The story could've been salvageable if it isn't so obvious the creators have not narrowed down the right vision for this anime.
    It's obvious the DMC anime is a mix of a slice of life and gothic-noir genre, with the Monster of the Day gimmick.
    But the approach to it was lifeless and boring. The action scenes are literally them transitioning to a cut-to-black scene, which means there is barely any fight scenes at all.
    And of course, this is just a nitpick, but the umm....Morrison's racial change....👀
    I have a feeling that had something to do with either a color diversity "quota" OR, my personal theory, is that they made Morrison black because they have to match it with Phineas from DmC: Devil May Cry...he's black-coded and Phineas is Dante's informant in the reboot.
    But that's just my game theory.
    I have nothing against black characters. But Morrison's changes was unnecessary.
    The best parts are that we do get glimpses of Dante's everyday life...although I have to say there's barely anything about it. 99% of it is him lounging around and doing nothing. I wish we have introspective thoughts or flashbacks from Dante. Or we get to spend more personal times with him, where he goes to places that reminds him of what's important or anything. Anything at all!
    The other characters, particularly Patty, are truly the ones carrying the show. Which is a bummer. This anime is Devil May Cry, it's supposed to be about Dante, but instead he sometimes feels like deadweight😤
    Oh well, at least him, Trish and Lady are hot.

    Anime was a fun watch, but the animation was super janky, fights had no choreography and the ends of the episodes always felt rushed, like all the budget was gone about 17 minutes in.
    And the main demon's name is Abigail smh. That's more than likely a translation issue of some sort, because aint NO WAY the writers thought that was a good name lol
