The cautiously anticipated western Devil May Cry “anime” series is set to premiere on Netflix on April 3rd. This news was revealed alongside a new teaser trailer, featuring the inimitable sounds of nu-metal poster-children Limp Bizkit, on X & Youtube.
Production Team and Story Details
Brought to life by the creative minds behind Castlevania, showrunner Adi Shankar, and animated by the renowned Studio Mir (known for The Legend of Korra, X-Men ’97), the new Devil May Cry anime promises an action-packed experience. The first season will consist of eight episodes, though time will tell if it’s decent or just the latest serving of goyslop from the politically correct dumpster-fire that Netflix has become known for.
While plot details are still under wraps, the series appears to focus on Dante during the timeline of the first three Devil May Cry games, rather than Devil May Cry 5. However, the extent of its connection to the games remains unconfirmed. Adding something to the excitement, Johnny Yong Bosch, the voice of Nero in the Devil May Cry video games, will be lending his voice to Dante in the anime adaptation.
A Return to Form for Devil May Cry
The Devil May Cry franchise has seen a hiatus in recent years. The last game in the series, Devil May Cry 5, was released in all the way back in 2019 & marked a triumphant return to form after a period of relative quiet following DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013. Now, fans can anxiously look forward to a somewhat new & hopefully not woke chapter in the Devil May Cry universe with this upcoming Netflix anime.

I’m incredibly sad to learn the news of Kazuki Takahashi’s death. Yu-Gi-Oh! was a huge inspiration for Gothest & there’s a lot of references to it throughout the game. While there are many other games that it drew influence from, it’s arguable that Gothest might never have come to exist if not for Yu-Gi-Oh! since it’s what first inspired me to start coming up with my own card games back when I was an 11 year old kid too poor to be able to afford real Duel Monsters cards. I never dreamed that I’d end up on a level where we could collaborate or anything, but it would have been cool to at least meet him & tell him how much he inspired me some day, but now that can never happen… Still, his legacy lives on! His contributions to card games, anime & manga will continue forever, & he will always be remembered as one of the greats!
