A new look at Netflix’s anime adaptation of Devil May Cry has arrived – and it’s confirmed its release date.
The official synopsis reads: “Sinister forces are at play at the portal between the human and demon realms. In the middle of it all is Dante, an orphaned demon hunter for hire, unaware that the fate of both worlds hangs around his neck.”
The series, based on the popularCapcomvideo game of the same name, follows Dante, an orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire, unaware that the fate of both the human and demon realms hangs around his neck. Castlevania’s Adi Shankar serves as creator and showrunner, with Alex Larsen as head writer.
“Rest assured, we are working very hard because we love the franchise and because we want to deliver something great,” Shankar tellsTudum. “Our goal wasn’t just to pump out another animated show. My goal is to make one of the best shows on the Netflix platform – period.”
During the Geeked Week announcement, we learned that Johnny Yong Bosch would be taking over for original voice actor Reuben Langdon as Dante.
