I love the music in this anime especially the opening theme song

[@SNESfan8]

💯

[@TheSsjJoker]

Hyped for the New anime Button 👍 Edit: Dante looks so sick in the old as well as new anime 🔥

[@BrokutheSonofSparda]

Underrated show nice slice of life about Dante and awesome soundtrack I love the mermaid rock song and the ending song. People that say the show is boring and Dante is too serious don’t understand that Dante is pretty depressed since he still dealing with the lost of Vergil and having no family left

[@arix1479]

I liked the different take on Dante this anime had Not my favourite but was very good regardless

[@songoku9348]

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)

[@cer_ruzz]

Can we talk about how Rebellion wouldn't fit in a guitar case at all? Unless it's a magical case that shrinks the sword like in the Zelda cartoon. Or maybe it's a bass case? :-P

[@redhead2044]

@cer_ruzz I thought that as well, but then again, it's an amime😅

[@striderreborn1467]

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 loved 2007 Anime, and I rather would have liked that Madhouse takes this over again. I don't believe that the Netflix adaptation, with Adi Shankar, can even get close to the dmc anime masterpiece.

[@TevyaSmolka]

I love opening them song for devil may cry anime it was really awesome and badass.

[@yuukihollow]

Short answer: Hell no. Sadly, Toshiki Inoue was not the right person to be headwriter. But people love overusing him because he saved Super Sentai back in the day, and been writing numerous Kamen Rider projects and anime.

[@viktorstanev2752]

What are you talking about? Considering the anime's placement, I feel like the anime's story was actually good. Plus, it gave us some good moments like Lady and Trish meeting for the first time, Sparda's apprentices, Patty as a whole. There are things to appreciate in the anime.

[@yuukihollow]

@@viktorstanev2752 That was one moment, and those two got nothing after that. There's not much to that episodic nonsense, and that horrible attempt at a plot in the last 3 episodes was awful for real.

[@TheMilhouseExperience]

@@viktorstanev2752 I like slow burn stories like Blade runner 2049 and Logan, but the anime was just boring.

[@TIODIO95]

Short answer: Yes, it's as good as I'd remembered it

[@amandanascimento69]

"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.

[@joseurbina3835]

It's pretty Shocking that the 2007 DMC Anime was Directed by the same Guy that would make the Awful CGI Berserk 2016/2017 Anime.

[@Emoni171]

@@joseurbina3835 Omg thanks for saying this. I’m not going to watch the 2007 DMC anime now. I watched that Beserk anime last year and it traumatized me, like seriously, wtf.

[@joseurbina3835]

@@Emoni171 The 2007 DMC Anime is still safe to Watch, it had some Cool moments, but it can get mostly Repetitive sometimes, so it doesn't change the Fact that this Anime is still Canon to the Game series, The Anime isn't that Bad, though it'll pretty much make Everyone feel out of Boredom when Watching, but it's still watchable than that garbage Berserk 2016/2017 Anime Adaptation.

[@artsimple.1248]

Awsome job dude. Love the video. Also, love the fact that you went back to watch the anime. This is a hidden gem, and i loved watching it during my freshmen year. Nice video man. Keep up the awsome work man!

[@DestinySpider]

"As good as you remember?" is a little too generous of a title, innit?

[@Freyja_Broko]

I still enjoy the anime very much. Hope the new anime is just as good.

[@yuukihollow]

Let's not pretend the old anime from 2007 is good all the sudden just because we are getting a new adaption. I hate when y'all do that, could give two fucks less about that show for real.

[@Vavqu_]

I watched it a few weaks ago and ik that it has it's bad sides like the lack of action but I just love it it was so fun to watch

[@t-masterrules5085]

Funny enough, the Anime was what got me into DMC. I also hated the English dub voice since I started with the thick, confident Japanese voice. My opinion only change when I got into DMC 3

[@jestemniewazny7295]

i played them for the first time now and yes they are amazing maybe except second one dmc 1 8/10 dmc 2 5.5/10 dmc3 9.5/10 dmc4 7/10 i might change to 7.5 for dmc4 because playing as vergil is super fun

[@sweetchaos1045]

Super excited for it!

[@Vorrtexian]

I just finished the show over a week ago, they just made Dante so weak and depressed and he didn’t even fight that much (best episode has to be the one where he goes to prison)

[@viktorstanev2752]

Nah, it was not Dante that was weak. He just wasn't even trying to fight seriously in the anime. Considering the anime takes place between 1(which was the most personal game for Dante) and 2, it actually makes a lot of sense for him to be depressed. He just (thought that he)killed his brother and fought against the killer of his mother.

[@reawakeneddemon6478]

@@Vorrtexian He wasn't weak he was just not trying since no one gave him a good challenge, he is depressed for sure tho but who wouldn't be in his place honestly

[@Vorrtexian]

@@reawakeneddemon6478 Dante was trying less than he was in DMC4 pretty much

[@reawakeneddemon6478]

@@Vorrtexian Yes and for the few times he did the ennemies got decimated in like 2 seconds (litteraly).

[@insane7718]

Finally a reason to have netflix Can't wait for it

[@Jimboh1637]

I liked the music the story, music, and art style/animation of the 2007 anime but the action is a bit lacking(he just sticks with Rebellion and E&I I don't even think he uses Coyote A/the shotgun). The newer Netflix series trailer seems to be ramping up the action(I say everything but the CGI motorcycle looked good). Also feels weird that Reuben isn't voicing Dante in the new show. Best of luck to Johnny.

[@mcmoonball]

Commenting before watching the video, but I just got started with the franchise 5 months ago, played the games 3,1,2, watched all the DMC4 cutscenes, and 5 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 (also prefer black Morrison to white. Only time blackwashing is justified ever lol)

[@ryuusaki7309]

I would say it was alright but Devil may cry shouldn’t 😂have a supernatural /Smallville approach meaning having episodic stuff then the last episodes the story kicks in. 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
