DMC “Anime” Review eps 1-3

The writing is millennial

I got to the scene where Dante saves that woman in the alleyway and knew I was gonna hate the dialogue, because that was not Dante. And no. “It’s dmc3 Dante” is not an excuse. Dmc3 Dante wouldn’t go, “uh you know, I was gonna say a corny one liner, but I forgor, tee hee,” he would just say a corny one liner and own it, because thats Dante. On top of that the excessive swearing and the “oh, thats cool. Isn’t this cool.” attitude doesn’t help.

side cast is completely pointless

Enzo is annoying and useless. Ladys teammates are useless, even tho they’re on the same squad ladys the only one doing anything. Science guy, I hate him. Cuck boy with the scar, dumb. Literally the only people I kinda care about are Dante and Lady.

Lady is lame as fuck

Oh God! They gave her the mcu spider-man treatment. You how Lady was cool because she was just a regular girl with guns and she kicked ass? what if we gave her rocket boots, and anti demon bullets, hologram grenades, and taser rounds, and magnetic guns? Also shes an 11/10 thunder cunt try hard. You know shes the writer’s favorite.

They heckin love science

They really try to remove the mysticism from the setting by trying to give everything a scientific explanation. 1 it’s lame, 2 it leads to long boring exposition dumps.

America bad

It’s made by an Indian. What do you expect?

Animation/Action

Its decent. I like that they incorporated some Dantes styles into his fights like some trickster movement, some sword-master moves. 3D irked me but wasn’t the worst i’ve ever seen. So far its the shows one positive.

Music

So far doesn’t fit dmc. It’s all rap rock and Nu metal. I literally almost threw up when I heard rage FOR the machine being played (and they have the nerve to say it’s “good taste” I see you Cali writers).
So overall, meh. It’s not as insulting as DMC Devil May Cry, but we’re getting there. Theres still 5 eps left, it cant get that bad right?

Also couldn’t fit this but

Minor here and there complaints

Dantes powers feel inconsistent, especially his speed. Villains introduction was dumb, why hire mercs if you’re really demon who can kill everyone, the Vatican guards don’t even have guns. The gore feels really excessive for DMC Dante not knowing he’s a demon is dumb. The world not knowing about demons is dumb. Lady’s backstory changes are dumb, and Arkham being a wimpy cuck boy who’s but hurt he didn’t protect his daughter like his wife is lame. The vice president is obviously going to a bad guy. They’re obviously gonna make the Rabbit the sympathetic villain, and it’s gonna be “humans are the real monsters” because these writers predictable and have no talent.

All I know is that Arkham gets the boot/is not the main antagonist of a "DMC 3" inspired story, Nelo Angelo looks like crap, green day(I just don't like Green Day), and Dante and Vergil aren't voiced by Dante and Vergil. The show seems made for people who got into DMC through DMC 5 osmosis(or DMC 5 memes). Also does Vergil actually willingly work with Mundas(the dude he knows killed his mom)?
You poor motherfucker actually watched this shit?

Not anime, take your jeetslop to

I'm not watching it. You can tell it's going to be shit from a mile away. If you choose to watch it, even to hate-watch it, you are the problem and deserve all the shit they give you.

A friend made me sit down and watch it with him. And yea he was really irked be Dantes voice being Neros. I don’t really like it either, but he’s playing 4 right now so his voice is fresh in his mind. And again this is just eps 1-3 so.

Why did he force you to watch it? Also why is he watching it of he's irked by Nero voicing Dante.

Sounds like Donte masquerading as the real deal again

We both knew it was gonna be bad, so instead of watching it in our free time we thought it be more fun to shit on it together. It did help, a little.

I'm gonna wait for GamingBrit review.

Why do Capcom keep giving DMC to people who don't know shit about DMC? It's not even a particularly complex storyline or lore.

They gave Dante the DmC 2013 amulet and added feds(and made by the dude who let Alucard from castlevania get butt fucked). It was DoA for me, unfortunately.
Same reason for all the shitty live action resident evil shit, a quick buck

3 Dante wouldn’t go, “uh you know, I was gonna say a corny one liner,

DMC has always been cringy.
youtu.be/TFBAws00BEM?t=57

Man Capcom has been fucking up bad the last couple of years. DD2 and Monster Hunter were both leaps backwards and now this shit. It's like we're back to 2010's Capcom when Inafune was fucking shit up

OP already pointed out that Dante would just say a cringy one liner with no irony instead of trying to lampshade it

Uh I think you mean Literally the coolest shit ever, but ok

If Vergil is appearing as Nelo Angelo, then he's being enslaved and working against his will. If Vergil and Nelo are separate characters then Nelo is a faker or they've fucked up something fierce.

Really kinds of makes you look back on the slower paced more introspective Dante a bit differently now don't it?

It's fine and OP is just repeating Twitter posts

Don't forget that piece of shit DRDR
I'm just going off of what I heard. Don't know if it's true. I know for sure nelo's design is just a downgrade.

I know that this show is timeline breaking fan fiction but I doubt Nelo and Vergil are the same here. It’s probably just a demon that looks like him for an easter egg.

They brought in a bunch of demon from other games as easter eggs so probably

See you're missing the central difference here. What you posted was, at it's worst, just really kind of cheesy. But it was played sincerely. We laugh at it, especially out of context, but the game is taking itself rather seriously. And that my friend is the chief distinction. We're laughing at poorly conveyed drama and while we're not getting the intended reaction we're still getting an overall enjoyable reaction. The problem with so much media now is that the insincerity of it result in bad COMEDY and bad comedy cannot be laughed at thus we get no positive enjoyment intended or otherwise. This is what makes a good so bad it's good movie compared to a movie that's bad on purpose because it thinks trying is lame and caring about stuff is stupid.

God I miss sincerity in media.

The only thing this show taught me is that DmC is way more popular with women than I thought it was, and most of them are more knowledgeable about the franchise than the people that made this show were.

Same reason for all the shitty live action resident evil shit, a quick buck

Man, that's something I really hate about Capcom... They literally give the IP to anyone who pays them and let them do whatever they want with the story of the game in question, almost always ruining the good that characterizes the game... Seriously, absolutely no one there at capcom really cares that they adapt any of their games well?

Even DMC4 managed to keep the sincerity. The show is just pathetic, and feels like its wearing the skin of DMC rather than actually portraying it.

They gave Dante the DmC 2013 amulet and added feds(and made by the dude who let Alucard from castlevania get butt fucked). It was DoA for me, unfortunately.

And itsuno was supposed to be overseeing what Shankar was doing with DMC, of course, when itsuno still works at capcom

I mean if they’re gonna goon to Vergil doujins they might as well know his MOTIVATION

Dante is just that likeable.

itsuno was supposed to be overseeing

I doubt he actually was overseeing it. Hell, it was said that Itsuno oversaw DmC 2013 too and look how that turned out.

The series about the handsome cool guy who's deep down full of pain and sorrow is popular with woman

Shocking indeed.

Yea, I expected a Red gay cowboy. They gave me an edgy emo twink. That scene in 5 had to have been a shot at that.

1/3th shot at the GDC 2013 cowboy incident, 1/3th a reference to a Japanese man pretending to me Michael Jackson, and 1/3th a shot at Vorgol's fedora

Anon, the sole reason that Capcom haven't Dante to be married despite of his age is because women would burn their offices. Same reason male characters of Ace Attorney aren't in a relationship, the fujos are too strong.

this was more kino than any moment in this jeet anime

This basically the Vizpop meme unironically

Looked at the writing team

Adi Shankar

Indian

Dresses like a fag

Wears makeup in his 40s

Look at previous works

Castlevania s1-4 and Nocturne

DOA basically

OP is a woman

Naruhodo

You wish. Women don’t use Anon Babble.

They are a game company first and realistically, can you blame them? the SF movie probably gets them easy money on reruns, the RE films made lots of money, netflix pays to make shows about their other IPs (DD, DMC, Onimusha)
all of that is free advertisement and more money for games, they no longer have to make a show to promote new games like with viewtiful joe or rockman.exe

Anon Babble lost

I like it. It's straightforward, music fits, and the dialogue works with a more talkative Dante. It's just a fun show which is what DMC is.

Games: Sparda woke to justice.

show: Hey, this is fucking evil.

FUCKING SHIT MUNDAS WAS EVIL AS FUCK SO FUCKING SPARDA IS FUCKING THE ONLY SHITHEAD DEMON I WOULDN'T FUCKING KILL STUPID FUCKING HELLDWELING SHIT DEMON

music fits

Do you think the square goes in the circular hole too? Seriously no Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Iron Maiden? Dude Sabaton is more DMC than anything they chose.

What really annoys me is that I've seen people treat Castlevania like it was actually good and will no doubt do the same for this garbage.

Nah it fits and I like it. Doesn't have to be 1 for 1.

Season 1 and 2 were just meh. 3 and beyond was just straight dogshit.

Im not saying it has to be 1 for 1. Im saying it has to be DMC.
