Spoler Alert!
Story: The weak point of the anime is definitely the story. In fact other than episodic pacing with a few hints of something bigger on the horizon, it's pretty much non-existent. You get to know some info about the main character and see him be a total badass. As this show goes, I would call it a major power fantasy, filled with blood and gore. This, for the most part, works for the show with some exceptions, like the ending where, no matter how strong the enemy is, Dante almost just finishes the fight in one blow of his sword.
Characters: After the story, the characters is the weakest part of this show, because most of the characters never get an established backstory. There are in fact only 3 characters who get their backstory explained, Dante, Patty and Patty's mother Nina. Still, you get to see an interesting enough cast of character and an interesting variation of enemies throughout the show.
Sound and artwork: The soundtrack in this show is quite good and suits it well, with heavy metal or rock playing during the fight scenes. The art style is dark for most part, with lots of dark shades and some things (like blood) highlighted with vibrant colors that stand in contrast to the else-wise darker tones.
Enjoyment and summary : In total I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the show, though my experience with the games left me somewhat disappointed. I would recommend this show to those who do not mind blood and gore in their anime, and those who like shows with tons of action.
