Breaking Down The New Anime Teaser

DMC new teaser

The teaser gave the audience a fairly decent idea of what to expect from the anime. The focus will primarily be on Dante, a fierce fighter who hunts down demons. Such a dangerous job would mean certain death for a normal human being.

The teaser stressed the fact that Dante is not an ordinary person. His speed and endurance are off the charts, which is why he is able to hunt down demons. The teaser also included intense action scenes where Dante could be seen using his gun and sword to attack enemies. He didn't look uncomfortable wielding any of them, implying that he has mastered both weapons.

Who Is Working On The Project

So far, only a handful of details about the Devil May Cry anime have been made public. For starters, the anime will be produced by Studio Mir. It has become a reputable production house after the success of the Castlevania series. Adi Shankar, who also directed Castlevania, will be overseeing the Devil May Cry anime. He has clarified that his goal is to create one of the best anime projects on Netflix.

Alex Larsen is the head writer for the project. He has previously worked on Yasuke and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. Johnny Yong Bosch is the only confirmed voice actor. The talented artist is set to voice Dante. Previously, Reuben Langdon had voiced the demon hunter.

The first season of the anime will have eight episodes in total. So, it will be precise, and each episode will be of the highest quality. The first teaser for the Devil May Cry anime was released back in September 2023.

The last major Devil May Cry game came out in 2020. A mobile game titled "Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat" released in 2024. But it didn't get the same traction as the mainline games. With no other update regarding a new installment, the anime adaptation is bound to make fans happy.

More details about the anime will likely be released closer to the premiere.
