Story:
I think this show is made in order to promote the video games but the problem is, i think the writers are afraid to take risks to tamper with the already existing characters such as Dante and Trish because they don't want to upset the fans by make these characters go through troubles, conflicts and emotional breakdowns (because that'll make them appear weak). Therefore they write the characters as emotionless gun-wielding bounty hunter who breezes through every demons in every episodes with barely no effort.
And also, they had made a loli to live with Dante to nag about his lifestyle every episode. This came out of nowhere and looks out of place.
Art:
It's pretty great in quality (as it's the same studio that made Death Note). The only gripe i have is that Dante's face is always covered by his hair most of the show.
Sound:
The dubbing is pretty decent but more importantly if you have been a fan of the game, they had Rueben Langdon, the man who voices Dante in both DMC games to voice Dante in this show, which is really great. You can clearly recognizes Dante's speech mannerisms and tone from the game, which for gives a slight feeling of nostalgia.
Extra: The demon's voices in the dubbing are really loud and rather incoherent.
Overall:
It's not like i'm saying that i hate show adaptations of video games in general. I'm willing to love adaptations with open arms. It's just that for them to be enjoyable, we need to make shows that expand the characters' backgrounds and make these characters go through conflicts in order to make character development.
