| Episode one was broadcasted in webcast form on WOWOW-DMC's official site, of course that you need to register and it has the whole DRM protection crap (and maybe you have to be in Japan too, not sure), but something got out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bayfhf5Xq9s (you can find the rest yourself) Warning: Contains lot of blood. I mean something along of Elfen Lied style, perhaps even a bit more moderate. |

| ...Eh? @_@; That was it...? |
| lol'd so hard at the subs from "-.-" have never seen harder failure in my life. thought the first ep was kinda lame, but the awful subs might have swayed me, i certainly hope some other group comes out with another ep1...bleh. |
| i was expecting more from it. |
  |
| Right, I only watched one third of this ep. Not only aren't they using proper english, they don't capitalize the I, there are typos in every third phrase and the video qualiy isn't good either. I hope another group will pick this up so I can complete this episode. |

| Decent episode... was hard to get into it with -.-'s awful job... way too many typing and grammatica errors --- Also, wtf is up with this |
     |
| Aah. I didn't see the whole thing. xD; It was...okay. I was expecting something more... exciting... And hoping the subs were better. *shiver* |
| Good thing I read this here before I dled.. guess I"ll wait for a decent subber on this one. :P |
  |
| Horrible translation aside, this first episode is all style with no substance. Somewhere in the episode I began to lose interest because Dante's fights were all the same. Once a monster shows up he just kills it without breaking a sweat. Also, this scene looks awfully familiar... |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| This first episode was a major let-down. Even without the painfully bad sub job it didn't live up to all the hype. I'm not familiar with the game and I was still excited about the series...not so much anymore. It almost feels like a parody, like someone had the sense of "these are the things that are supposed to go into an anime" and tried to shove them all into one poorly executed episode. tainteddonut said: Also, this scene looks awfully familiar... Agreed! Lame. |
     |
| I didn't expect a lot so I thought it was ok. The subs were... bad XD but I took Japanese in High School so I was ok with it. |
 |
| What crap. I can live with bad subs but not bad anime. The fight scenes were repetitive and Dante is so lame beond belief. I'll wait for episode 2 before I make any last judgements on the series though. Still though, more blood doesn not equal better anime. |

| I just watched the Kuro-Hana & NEET sub and I didn't think it was that bad. o.O It actually looked quite good and I wonder what ep 2 will be like. |

| tainteddonut said it best; all style and no substance. If this is only going to be 12 Episodes, they did a horrible job starting off. This is definitely made only for fans of the game. If I didn't play the games i'd probably drop this anime right this instant. There is potential in it, but it needs way more development to go with. It just felt WAY too fast-paced and rushed. |

 |
| Yeah, it's pretty amazing how a proper sub can change the impression of an anime. But this was only the first episode, so we'll see. |

I just watched the kuro-hana/neet version and I really liked it. Same here. I'm familiar with the game (to say the least) and I was worried that it might not be Devil May Cry but the gun x sword combos was signature Dante! I really liked the lightning effects too. This is definitely an anime geared towards the fans of the game. I really enjoyed this episode since I expected it to be all action since it's FREAKING DEVIL MAY CRY for crying out loud (pun intended :P) and not Pokemon or whatever other video game to animes there are! |
| Kuro-Hana & NEET just released a v2. There's also an HD release by Anime Club Generation, their translations have many weak points but the video and sound quality is really good. However, I'll stick with Kuro-Hana & NEET. |

I'll wait for episode 2 before I make any last judgements on the series though. Still though, more blood doesn not equal better anime. My thoughts exactly...but if a series doesn't cling you by the first episode, then there really isn't a point to watching it in the first place. |
 |
| *_____* the same studio who did Death Note *____* ZOMG This is going to be badass xD~~~ edit: hmm you guys seem to dislike it xD;; perhaps because you've been familiar with the series/games and so it's dissapointing. I've only heard of the series and seen a bit of the games. I dont know much about it. So it looks good so far in my opinion =D |
| I haven't played any of the Devil May Cry games but I know of the general background about the story and such and was really excited when I heard about the anime. After watching episode one, I hope they do a better job with plot development in this anime. The fight scenes were really cool, but again, repetitive. I felt like I was watching the same fight over and over again. Push that aside, I don't know too much about Dante b/c I haven't played, but he looked pretty wicked. |
| I just watched a couple minutes of the Hard Gay sub version...Good God. I can't watch those crappy subs. Downloading Kuro-Hana and NEET now >__>; Edit: Much better. The plot was a little confusing, and I forget what happened in the game, so I'll reserve my opinion until the next episode. |

| Seemed ok, but if I didn't already know it is based on the games, I would most probably accuse it for imitating Hellsing...At the very least, that badass "bite the gun" pose... Other than that, I must say I am already hating the brat...WHY IS SHE THERE EH? I never played the DMC games, but oh, I am pretty sure she weren't in those... ... still, might be interesting... |
| looks good so far |
     |
| It kinda sucked... But then again, Video Game anime's haven't appealed to me since the awfulness of Disgaea. o_o |
 |
| 3 out of 5: It was OK Well, what to expect from an anime based on a video-game, where the video-game consists of slaughtering things in badass-behavior.. The bests things was.. the slaughtering o.O No too big story you have do dive into. But it's too early to drop this after the first ep. So I will watch some more episodes and then decide to watch the whole thing or not. |
| I thought it was good. It wasn't AWESOME like I thought it would be though. I found Dante was too much like Spike and Alucard rolled together instead of the character he is in the games. The whole doing a job, getting no money, being in debt, and being no further ahead after a mission is just like what tends to happen in Cowboy bebop. Dante is a loose character. He likes to sit back, relax, and have fun. I found this was missing in the anime (aside from the...strawberry sunday?). Bottom line: Less Devil May Cry, More anime stereotypes of this genre. |
  |
Zel said: Also, wtf is up with this That's the best part of the episode! The episode was... bleh... It's Devil May Cry, so I'll watch it for what it is. I'm not expecting much and I'm just going to watch it. Patty is super cute though. Very moe. See, Dante knows moe when he sees it and he protects it. And he likes strawberry sundaes too! |
   |
| Hm, I didn't find it that interesting. As someone else said, it's probably just another form of promo for the games. And if I want to watch either violent anime or anime with cute girls, I'd rather look elsewhere ^^; |
  |
| Was a fine first ep, i have no knowledge about the DMC games so heh ^^ |
| It was interesting, Dante looks hot xþ I have never played DMC games so i dont know how well it is following the games or if it even supost to be following the games...xþ |
 |
| My biggest gripe so far is that it doesn't live up to the hype. It was enjoyable, but certainly not spectacular. I was hoping for an intro on par with that of DMC 3. |
 |
| I never played the games, but I still thought this was going to be awesome. But they just tried too hard to make Dante the unbeatable guy with a soft/silly side. And that little girl is really annoying. It really doesn't live up the hype. Oh, and they need to stop making it look like the new Hellsing. It's annoying. |
| I've never played the games (of course)... but my eldest swears by them, and couldn't wait to see this. She, in turn, got me all excited to see this. So, I downloaded, and with great anticipation watched the first episode of what was sure to be (according to my child) an anime series of epic proportions. Well... the episode ended... and... well... meh.... |
| Maybe I expected too much :\ the design is good, but I didn't find the plot so exciting.. |
| Having Played 1 and 3, I thought they got the character of Dante right, you said that its like Spike, and it is, but its also what Dante was like in the game, a guy whos bored, poor and gets attacked by demons. I imagine the fight scenes will get better once Dante finds someone interesting to fight rather than some crappy demons. I also hated Hellsing, Alucard and Dante are kind of similar, but they are almost the same storywise anyway, demon/vampire killing their own kind with rather large pistols... I'm looking forwards to the next episode. |
| What's up with the subbing.. alot of misspelled words, and a sub for a smile? lol. It was alright I guess.. |
 -Seigi- |
Aishiteruze said: What's up with the subbing.. alot of misspelled words, and a sub for a smile? lol. You probably picked one of the bad subs. I got an HD h264 sub by Kuro Hana & NEET and it's quite good. |

| I really enjoyed looking at it. It looked like the rest of the series may be very promising. As for the subs I looked at the one that Kuro-Hana & NEET subbed and it was fine. Normal. Anyway I love Dante's character and can't wait to see the next episode. |
   |
| I thought this was pretty cool. Dante is such a bad ass! |
| Lol, Dante was so cool. Nothing really interesting so far. This episode just shows you about Dante's job. :D |
| The reason why I like this show is probably because I haven't played the game. The animation is amazing. Interesting, will continue. |
| it was a lot better than i expected, actually. very watchable in my opinion --then again, i'm huge on mecha and conspiracy type stuff, so go figure. i'll happily watch for more Dante @w@ |
| Animation was good. But I could have sworn I put Devil May Cry into my DVD player, not Hellsing 2..... |
| I thought it was great, loved the action. :D |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
Anitnelav said: I thought it was great, loved the action. :D Yeah. It was one cool ep. |
 |
| I saw the NEET version, thankfully. It was a little repetative, but I'm hoping it goes somewhere. |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
