As we ease into the weekend, it's the perfect moment to spotlight Netflix's latest animated series based on a beloved video game: Devil May Cry. The series has now made its stylish entrance onto the streaming platform, offering fans a thrilling new take on the iconic franchise.
Boasting an impressive voice cast and brought to life by the talented Studio Mir, with veteran showrunner Adi Shankar at the helm, the series has quickly captured the attention of both fans and newcomers alike. Set in its own unique universe, the show delves into the earlier years of Dante, presenting a younger version of the character before he evolved into the legendary devil hunter we all know and love.
The Devil May Cry franchise is experiencing a resurgence, with the recent release of Devil May Cry 5 still resonating strongly within the gaming community. Additionally, the launch of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat in the West by Tencent a few years back has kept the series relevant. The animated series on Netflix is reigniting interest and sparking discussions about the future of this storied franchise.
**This party's getting crazy!** Adi Shankar's involvement brings a mix of excitement and apprehension. While his role in bringing Dredd to cinemas is commendable, his more Americanized approach to Devil May Cry has stirred some debate among fans. However, his dedication to the projects he's involved with is undeniable.
