Devil May Cry Season 2 SPOILER FILLED Review

After what feels like years of waiting Netflix has finally dropped all eight episodes of one of the most underrated animated shows currently out. This is a show that to be frank i've been eagerly awaiting so much so that I did a tie in review for this whole new season and well then new season is finally here and well you just knew that I had to check out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the season that features alot of really good rock songs in it with the show in question being called simply just "Devil May Cry" enjoy.

The plot of this season is sometime after the events of the first season Dante is thawed out and along with Lady and his brother Virgil have to stop a demon from resurrecting the ;iteral devil himself. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. The seasons plot is one that does more then uphold the already high bar set by that of the first season just due to the fact that's not a copy and paste of the first seasons plot with the plot of this season being one that is alot more darker and more mature then we got in the first season. This is something that does work to the seasons advantage as this show on the whole is meant be an adult show and therefore it does have permission to go deeper into the characters backstories then what a kids animated series could do for example and while there are times where it does feel like that this seasons plot is a bit all over the place it then does something that ties it all together in ways that actually make sense and with the season being a tight eight episodes long it does mean that all of the show episodes are about advancing the seasons plot forward with this being something that does make the plot of this season feel like a really strong and well thought out plot albeit one with a few minor issues here and there with the plot of this season also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this season is Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante and Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary Ann Arkham / Lady. Also starring in this season is Kue Lawrence as young Dante , Ian James Corlett as William Baines , Robbie Daymond as Vergil , Marcel Nahapetian as young Vergil , Graham McTavish as Arius Von Erenburg , Quinn Eakins as young Arius , Ray Chase as Mundus and Jester , Tony Todd as Beowulf , James C. Mathis III as Beowulf , Salli Saffioti as Chi , Tara Strong as Nell Goldstein , Jim Conroy as Stan Sullivan , Andrew Morgado as Argosax , Rick D. Wasserman as Trismagia , Keith David as Lucan and Paris Johnson as Mattie.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. The fact that this season has as good acting as it has is something that is not really all that surprising as all you need do is look at how is in this season to see that the quality of acting is going to be really high , much like with the previous season where we had two actors playing Baines we are sadly in that same situation again this season with both Tony Todd and James C. Mathis III playing Beowulf and sadly its for the exact same reason however unlike with Baines where you really couldn't tell who was playing the character in what episode here you can sort of tell just because of the fact that Tony Todd had such a distinctive voice with James's acting still being really good. With the best actor in this season being Scout Taylor-Compton as while she was good in the previous season here in these eight episodes its like she really did up her game as an actor and this is something that does make alot of sense as she is reprising the role and therefor she would of course have more knowledge on how best to perform this character but to compare her performance this to that of what she did with the same character in the last season its night and day. With the acting in this season really being helped by the fact that this seasons scripts where just so good that all this seasons actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very season.

Doing the animation for this season is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season was in all honesty really good. Much like with the seasons acting the fact that we got good animation all throughout this season is something that's not really all that surprising due to the fact that the animation in the last season was also really good. With the things that made the animation in this season stand out being the fat that instead of just using hand drawn animation which was they mostly used in the first season here they blend it with 3D CGI animation as well with alot of the demons being done in this method. The other thing that does make this season animation stand out being the fact that unlike the first season where we were mainly stuck on earth which did lead to some really boring looking backgrounds here since we spend alot of time on both earth and the demon world it does mean that we get a vast majority of backgrounds that all look different from each other with it being made clear as day that the makers of this show took great care into giving us both worlds there own unique look to them as the human world mainly has very muted colors with there being lots of brown being used with the inside of the main villains base being mostly white and yet when we get to the demon world as to expected its all mainly red with this being something that does help to distinguish the two worlds from one another.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way to do a full on review of this season and not talk about Lady as she is pretty much the only character from the first season that gets some major love in this one. As we see how she was deeply effected by not only the events of the first season but also the first season finale as well as she does believe that she is terrible person due to the choices that she's made in that first season with being Dante himself being the one to basically tell her that she had to do what she thought was right at the time and given the fact that she had just seen her while team wiped out in the blink of an eye she had to make a call that whilst it didn't work out well for anyone as it ended with the human race going to war with demons and Dante being put on ice it was still a call that did lead to Dante's brother making himself known again. While Dante and Virgil were very much the focus of the teaser at the end of the first season here it is very much Lady and this is something that does feel like a copy and paste of the first season as it's revealed in the tease for the next season that Lady's dad is not only alive and well but that he's also someone that we've been seeing all throughout the season in the demon world as it's revealed that her father transformed himself into Jester. This is something that does feel like a copy and paste from the end of the first season where it was revealed that Virgil is alive and well and while it worked there it was due to the fact that it was something that was genuinely surprising where as here it doesn't work quite as well due to the fact we've just seen that tease but done in a much better way with the only thing that makes it kind of work here is the fact that we've seen this character alot this season we just never knew just how big of a character that he is for one of the shows main characters and while the tease could have been done better it is still something that does still work in its own right.

Much like with the first season this season also has a killer soundtrack with there being remixed songs of both "Afterlife" ad "My Immortal" both from Evanescence. With there being songs by Papa Roach (Getting Away With Murder) , Casey Edwards &Amira Elfeky (Bazooka) , Avril Lavigne (Sk8ter Boi) Bryce Vine (Street Punks On A Freight Train) Capcom (Dante's Office) , Gunship (The Gates Of Disorder , Power Glove Featuring Gunship (Shall Never Surrener) and Drowning Pool (Bodies) this is just a good song list. Whilst they do ditch Rollin by Limb Bizkit for the shows opening theme and instead replace it with a more generic rock track by the band Powerglove with the theme song being called "Jackpot" nothing is ever going to top just how hyped you would get hearing Rollin every time an the intro for the season played. To give this season its flowers it does know how to use it's music with alot of the songs mentioned being played over fight scenes which is just such a good way to get you hyped for the fight scene but then occasionally they would have a  more emotional song play over a more sad scene and again it is something that does work really well although to be fair alot of the time it does feel like that this shows creator and co-producer Adi Shankar was just using songs that he likes rather then songs that would benefit the show on the whole as while alot of these songs do help to fit in with the show and do give it a more frantic energy alot more of the time they do feel out place and they take you out of the scene because of the fact that alot of them are from well known bands and that is something that could be a bit distracting.

Villain wise this season we do technically have two different villains as we have both Arius and Mundus with Argosax not really being a villain as he only appears in the final two episodes. Arius and Mundus tho are who we spend alot more time with with both of them wanting to reign over the demon world with the only thing that sets them apart being the fact that Arius also wants to rule the human world and is more then willing to use both Dante and Virgil to get what he wants as we see him trying to manipulate Dante in a later episode of the season as Dante knows full well that in his human form he can't beat him let alone land a single hit on him yet he still try to do something to do some damage to him whereas with Virgil because of the fact that he was manipulated by Mundus when he was young he is more easily manipulated by Arius although Virgil does know that Arius is playing him and does help to form a plan to get him and Mundus to fight each other in the demon world. Out of the two villains in this season the more effective one is easily Arius due to the fact that we do see him physically over power all of our heroes at one point or another this season and that's without the use of Argosax and yet when Argosax does come into play then he's basically Godzilla in that he's unbeatable and that s something that does force our heroes to better themselves and to think out side of the box whereas with Mundus due to the fact that the season does spend alot of time on earth we don't get to see just how effective that he is a villain as we know from the final fight of the season that he is a physically strong character but what we don't know is if Dante and Virgil could beat him in a fight and to be fair to this show we don't need to know that just yet as the main purpose of this season was to get Argosax and Arius to fight and that's it.

Now then this season / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then forty minuets with the longest episode being episode one which has a grand total running time of thirty nine minuets and twenty nine seconds and the shortest episode this season was episode three which was thirty minuets and fifty one seconds. The very fact that the makers of this show have episodes that are alot closer to forty minuets then what they were last season is something that does tell you that they took the story this season very seriously as by giving all of the episodes these more longer running times it does allow not only each episodes plot but also the plot of the season to breathe alot more with the season having more then plot to cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho this season really doesn't use its running time all that wisely as while the episodes are indeed alot longer this season they don't really take the time to fully develop the seasons plot with this being something that could have been fixed if they did two things the first of which being if they stopped playing a song every few minuets as that makes it the show look like an advertisement for the soundtrack and the second of which being if they had two or three more episodes to the episode count as that would then allow for there be scenes where the plot does get alot more development. The show does however take great strides in giving its characters some character development as we do see Lady and Dante first form a bond as friends something which they were close to being by the end of the first season and then to possible love interests and with Virgil we see him go from someone who believes that only people with power can be strong to someone who has just had enough with people controlling him and heck even Baines gets some character development as learns just how evil he has truly been but I really will admit that this season really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is aa action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very season well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in thus very season was in all honesty really good. This is something that was to expected as anything that has Adi Shankar involved in it be it animated or live action does have some really cool action in it and the same thing is true for this season as all of this seasons action scenes are filled to the brim with really cool moments be it Dante shooting a rocket launcher and then riding the rocket down the ground just to get closer to an opponent or or Lady killing a bunch of demons bottom line if you love action and you love action with cool moments in them then this season has you covered. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode actually being all the way back in episode one of the season as when Virgil first arrives on earth he finds himself surrounded by Arius taskforce and yet without hesitation he whips his sword out and starts cutting of there heads and limbs all while "Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays this is such cool action scene as while we did have other action scenes in that episode alot of them were either two long or two short for us to fully take them in where as here with this action scene it lasts the right amount of time with this also giving us a good look at just what Virgil can do in an action scene and while the lyrics to the song playing might be bit on the nose for what's happening n screen one can't help but get excited because of how good of a song that it is in the first place with the reason of seasons action scenes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Overall if you haven't watched this new season of the show yet then what are you waiting for go ahead and do exactly that there's a reason why this new season has been getting rave reviews from people online and all of that praise is totally justified as this new season is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his very season in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very season really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very season that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very season with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Devil May Cry: "A River Of Blood And Fire" Review

For some odd reason Netflix doesn't like to tell you when the new season of a hit animated show is coming out. As we are just a few short days away from the release of Devil May Cry season 2 and yet there's been next to nothing to tell you about this new season coming out well as I liked the first season and will for sure be checking out season 2 I thought that i'd take a look back at the first season finale as a way to get us all excited for the new season and so then join me as I review the episode that features Green Day's "American Idiot" with the episode in question being called simply just "A River Of Blood And Fire" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Dante and Lady have to defeat fully mutated White Rabbit and stop him from taking over the earth before its far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This episodes plot is one that whilst it could be seen as being a bit thin as when you boil it down to it's core elements there's not that much going on plot wise as the episode is indeed just one long fight scenes and while this is something that does leave the plot of the episode feeling more like an afterthought in the grand scheme of things. It is also something that does make sense as this episode was the first seasons finale episode and therefor it didn't need to be rich with plot to make it work as this is quite literally the third act of a story and therefor it needed to be more action packed and less story focused and while yes it would have worked just as well if the episode did have more of a focus on it's story as at the end of the day that's what people are going to remember about the show it's also not really something that was needed to make this episode be as good as it is and not every single episode of every single show animated or not needs to be plot focused as sometimes being a dumb action show is more then enough and that is something that was very much the case with this episode as it is just a dumb action show and this episode did fully understand that with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante , Scout Taylor-Compton as Lady / Mary and Hoon Lee as The White Rabbit. Also starring in this episode is Kevin Conroy as Baines , Ian James Corlett as Baines , Chris Coppola as Enzo , Benjamin Abiola as Anders and A Guard , Jon Gries as Pres. Hopper and A Soldier , Robbie Daymond as Vergil , Kari Wahlgren as Eva , Donovan Patton as Bloodstryke and A Demon , Roger L. Jackson as An Officer and An Interrogator , Matthew Waterson as The Large Soldier , Jason Marnocha as A Civilian and A Predator Demon and Erica Lindbeck as A Mother , A Baby and A Demon Kid.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. If you want a good idea of just how good that this episodes acting is all you need do is just look at who is in the episode as the episode is filled to the brim not only with anime voice acting legends but with voice acting legends in general with them them all turning in some really good performances in this episode and even tho both Kevin Conroy and Ian James Corlett are playing the same character with Corlett filling for Conroy in this episode you really can't tell the difference as the character of Baines does sound the exact same with both actors nailing there performances as the character with even Ian James Corlett now voicing the character in the rest of the show moving forward. With the best actor in this episode being Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante as he not only does give us some really funny lines in this episode he also knows when to stop being funny and to amp up the tension with the character and just go all out nuts with him which is something that he wouldn't have been able to do on Power Rangers as his character on that show wouldn't have allowed him to do it but here in this show he can go as nus as he wants do and as over the top as he wants to with this being something that you also see him do in several of his other anime projects as well and it works in this episode because of the fact that Dante is an over the top kind of character, with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors alot to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Much like with this films acting the fact that this episode or even the show on the whole has good animation isn't all that surprising given the fact that Studio Mir has worked on alot of really good shows in the past and has always out in alot of really good animation in everything that they do. This show and this episode does take a huge amount of inspiration from anime with not only the character designs but also the characters movements in the action scenes and it is something that does make you wonder if this is an anime or not as even the show is firmly an American production you wouldn't know it just by looking at images from the show and yet at the same time this episodes animation does benefit from that as it does allow the characters to have these more over the top movements which in turn does help to make the episodes action scenes really come alive and feel like something that you would see in the Devil May Cry games. There is one thing that does let the animation in this episode down tho and that's the fact that the backgrounds in the human world aren't that inspired with the episode mainly just using a stereotypical city background and fair enough there's not much that you can do with a city background to make it interesting and yet when we briefly visit the demon world the backgrounds there don't look that much better with it feeling like the makers of this show put more effort into the episodes character designs and a lot less effort was put into the episodes backgrounds. 

All throughout this first season of the show we are told that Dante's brother is dead with it being revealed at the very end of this episode that not only is he alive and well but he is also coming after Dante. This is a good way to set up the main character for the next season as this is a character that does deserve to have this amount of build up given just how big of a threat that he has the potential to be and having him be at the very end of this first season as a way to get people to want to watch the next season as now it leaves us the audience wanting more and that is a great way to introduce the character and with him being the main villain of season two or at least going to be one of the villains of season two then having him be this stinger of a character does make alot of sense. While we don't understandably get to spend alot of time with the character the very brief glimpse that we get of the character does tell us that he is a villain that's not to be messed with whereas with The White Rabbit you got the feeling that he very much like the first main villain character of a video game in that he was never going to be that much of a threat and is someone that while it does cause Dante some trouble when you look back at it in two or three more seasons time he will seem like he wasn't that much of a threat and while that's great for The White Rabbit. Yet for a character like Virgil he will need to be someone who can test Dante in every way possible as he already has the mental advantage over the character due to the fact that he's his brother but what we don't know is if he's physically stronger then him and that is something that could cause Dante to be a better character as now he would be truly tested as a hero.

As was mentioned at the start of this review this episode features a moment that has "American Idiot" by Green Day playing over it. This was something that was shocking as while the other episodes had rock songs in them heck the theme song for this show is "Rollin" by Limb Bizkit it was still weird hearing a cut down version of "American Idiot" playing over a montage where America decides to invade the demon world and capture alot of innocent demons as that song is all about pointing how dumb alot of things in America can be but it's done in a more comedic type of way and yet the scene it's played over is this deadly serious scene which only serves to make the song even more funnier as it's an upbeat and up tempo song with this being something that the shows creator Adi Shankar had to know as he's into rock music. To be fair tho having that song play over that sequence doesn't hurt the sequence as it makes it alot more fun to watch which might be the point as it's meant to be this really disturbing scene where the humans essentially become bad guy by attacking demons who have done nothing to them and yet there playing this really upbeat song that does make you want to sing along to it and heck one of the best things that this show does do is have these really cool songs play over key parts of an episode which is something that is bound to make people who aren't that much into rock music want to listen to more of it as while we get a good original song in episode by the band "Evanescence" and while this episode doesn't have any original songs in it the fact that they do manage to find a good and fun use for the truly iconic "American Idiot" is something that does tell you that the makers of this show know how to use there licensed music as it would have been very easy to have that song play over an action scene and call it a day but the fact that they don't does show that the makers of this show are willing to find to new ways to have these licensed songs playing in an episode of the show.

This episode is basically one long fight scene which is something that does make it hard to judge The White Rabbit as a villain. Due to the fact that he doesn't get the chance to talk alot of the time in this episode which is fair enough as we would have had all of the other episodes to get across just what he's like as a character but in all farness to this episode we do still find out what he's main plan is as he does want to take over the world for no good reason and while him wanting to take over the world is typical plan for any villain to have the fact that he is a demon is something that does make it feel unique again as he could very realistically take over the world on his own and the fact that he does manage to briefly merge the human world with the demon world is more then enough to make this character seem like a better threat. While the fact that he does mutate himself be taking a lot of demon blood is something that does feel like a boring thing for the character to do as the character was defeated at the end of the last episode the fact that he did come back in this episode does show you that he is truly insane and that it will take alot more then a good beating for him to get put down and the fact that he does allow himself to get mutated does make him more like this unstoppable beast as now Dante and Lady are truly struggling to even land a hit on him and it is something that does make him feel like more of a threat. However it would been better if the episode did devote more time to his character and give him more of a chance to show case why he is this truly threatening as while the other episodes would have done exactly that in this episode the character does feel more like an afterthought to the episodes action whereas if the episode did devote more time to him as a character then it would make his downfall and defeat all the more satisfying.

Now then this episode has / had an exactly grand total running time of exactly thirty two minuets and fifteen seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show as alot of the episodes either have or have very similar running times to this episode and to be to the episode it really does need this amount of running time as it does have alot of plot to wrap up from the first season and still set up a potential main villain for the second season and it can't do all of that and still tell a good story on it's own and while it's debatable on if this episodes plot is any good what isn't debatable is the fact that this episode could have used a longer running time just to make the story even more stronger. With the plot of this episode having more the enough running time to cover that amount of running time in the first place and yet even so this episode doesn't really use its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot which OK fair enough the episode doesn't really have to do that as the episode had all of the other episodes to give its plot that development and therefor this episode doesn't need to have that plot development but at the same time given how thinly drawn out that this episodes plot is due to the fact that it is essentially just one long fight scene then there should have been some time given to give the episodes plot some small amount of plot development even if it's just something small it still would have been something. This is something that does kind of effect the episodes character development as well as none of the episodes characters get anything in the way of character development which in all fairness they didn't really need but at the same time it would have been all the more better if the episode did take the time to give the characters some small amount of character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. This episodes action is where the episodes does well and truly shine it's brightest as the episode is essentially one long action but whereas in something like Mad Max: Fury Road where that film would take small breaks to go more into the story and get you more invested with its characters this episode really doesn't need to do any of that due to the fact that it is a TV show and can therefor just go insane with it's action something which the episode does take great delight in doing and in doing so does give us alot of really fun and downright cool action scenes. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the opening roof top fight where Dante and Mary as well as a group of soldiers have to take on a fully mutated White Rabbit with him just lying the floor with them as White Rabbit rips of limbs and cuts open several of the soldiers with his blade and blows up several of there helicopters all the while both they and Dante and Mary are trying to kill him by shooting at him and yet all there bullets do is just bounce off of him. This is just such a freaking cool way to start of the episode as it lets you know right away that this episode is going to be very action packed and that is exactly what it is it's an action packed with the action never really letting up and getting more and more violent the longer that it goes on as the characters are forced to think outside of the box to even land a hit on The White Rabbit with the rest of the episodes action being just as good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.    

Overall we are just a few short days away from the release of this shows second season and if this episode was anything to go by then we are in for one hell of a ride as this episode just gives you everything that you want to see in a Devil May Cry animated episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and a such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in his very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Devil May Cry TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

Video game adaptations are dime a dozen it seems these days with pretty much every video game out there either just getting an adaptation or is in the process of getting an adaptation. What is rare tho is for the same video game to get two different adaptations in the same medium and yet that's just what happed with the show that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today as while yes there was an earlier anime series based on this franchise released that's not the one that i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that is just as gory as you'd expect from something produced by Adi Shankar with the show in question being called simply just "Devil May Cry" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when when his necklace is stolen by someone who wants to use it's power to break down the portal protecting our world from the demon world demon hunter Dante and a group of soldiers will gave to do whatever it takes to stop that from happening. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually feature / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this shows plot was pretty weak which is something that does seem to be the case with alot of animated Netflix shows as there more focused on trying to be adult then trying to tell a good story and while the story that this show is telling is good it's also one that's not really that developed as Netflix have only released eight episodes for this first season when you very easily could have stretched this story out to say twelve episodes as that would then mean that the plot of the show as a a whole could be alot more developed then what it actually is with it feeling like that they were rushing certain plot points instead of doing them in a way that makes the feel earned and while the plot of the show is still a really strong plot it's one that's not as good as it really could have been with it being made clear as day that the makers of this show are more focused on putting in alot of songs from early 2000's punk rock and heavy metal bands then they are in telling a more focused plot with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Power Rangers , Naruto and Bleach star Johnny Yong Bosch as Dante and Halloween 2007 and Halloween 2 star Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary. Also starring in this show is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 star Hoon Lee as The White Rabbit , Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul star Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino , Robbie Daymond as Vergil and the late Batman: The Animated Series star Kevin Conroy as VP Baines.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As the actors that you expect a good performance from really do give us exactly where the acting in this show does somewhat faulter tho is the fact that there are more bad to decent acting in it then there is good to great acting in it with the best examples of of that being alot of Mary's team all of which so bland forgettable and all of which do turn in performances that aren't that good and while it was nice to hear the late Kevin Conroy one last time even his great acting doesn't save the quality of the shows acting or even raise the level of it all that much with him being the best actor in the whole show as while others like Johnny Yong Bosch do disguise there voices to the point where you wouldn't know that it was them unless you went onto this shows Wikipedia page Kevin Conroy was just such a good actor anyways that he really just demands your attention every single time that he's on screen with the same thing also being true for his performance in this show as well with the acting that's in this show really being helped by the fact that this shows scripts is just so good that all this shows actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.

Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Studio Mir. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with it matching up to the already high quality set by shows like Castlevania and Captain Laser Hawk and yet at the same time even tho it's meant to be in same multiverse as those shows it's different enough for it to be it's own unique thing with the shows animation looking really good good not only in all of the shows fight scenes of which there are at the vert least two per episode but also in the backgrounds with all of the outdoor scenes look breathtakingly good there not movie quality good as that would be impossible to do on a TV show budget but for a Netflix animated TV show this shows animation is as good as it gets and while the show does have an anime influence in the designs of the characters this is not an anime as there none of the tropes that you see in the animation of an anime be it a film or TV show with this show being very firmly a western animated show and isn't afraid to be exactly that as while yes the backgrounds are nicely detailed the designs of the characters while they do take inspiration from anime or simplistic and streamlined designs much like you'd see in a western animated TV show or film with all of the shows characters having some really nice fluid movements to them which come alive during this shows fight scenes.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

For some strange reason this shows creator Adi Shankar straight up uses a modified version of the plot from Dredd a film which he himself executive produced. As in episode four of this show Mary and her team of soldiers go to a building that The White Rabbit owns and operates and he then has the entire building locked down thus forcing the soldiers to have try and fight there way to get to the top of the building where he is which is straight up the plot of Dredd even down to one of the characters getting help from someone who lives there with the only difference being that instead of the two who enter the building making it all the way to top to face the big bad in a huge epic fight here Mary's whole team is wiped out by one of The White Rabbit's demons on the ground floor thus forcing Mary to go up and face him alone but that's pretty much it as beat for beat they play the exact same way and while alot of the people who didn't and haven't seen Dredd won't mind that as to them it would be a new concept those of us that did see Dredd and still do frequently watch it it feels weird seeing this plot line play out in episode four of this show and not see the characters from Dredd in it and that is something that makes you wonder why the makers of this show chose to have that plot line be in this show as it's something that doesn't really work for this show due to the fact that all of the shows main villains are demons and not real people with the only interesting thing that comes out of it is the fact that Mary is forced to face her own prejudice against demons and question everything that she believes when a demon family hides her from one of the demons that's hunting her down in the building and that's really it.

This show does have some fairly well done characters with Dante , Mary and even this shows main villain The White Rabbit getting alot of screen time and being well written. With Dante kind of being like Deadpool not in the way that the he knows that he's a fictional character but in the way that he always has a one liner geared up for every fight and is always willing to do whatever it takes just to get back something that's really important to him which in this case is his necklace and Mary is kind of a strong willed character but also one that does have some flaws like the fact that she does have this deep rooted hatred for all demons so much that she believes that all demons are evil and is even willing to kill innocent demons just because of the fact that they might one day do something evil and while she does learn to overcome this in the shows fourth episode it's character development that really does come to early for the character as it would have made more sense for the character to go through this development later on in the shows run which judging by this shows ending it's pretty clear that it's going to be getting a second batch of episodes as by then we would have had more of a chance to get to know her character where as here since this was only the first batch of episodes we don't really know the character all that well and with The White Rabbit we do get a really good character as well as he is Dante but if Dante was this truly evil character and yet as we find out over the course of the show we do see that he was radically different from how we've seen him thus far thus making his turn into The White Rabbit a slightly tragic one with the character himself making for a pretty decent debut villain for the most part.

In what could be seen as being a really weird move instead of keeping up the momentum all the way to the finale this show instead chooses to take a break from it's main story in the shows sixth episode and instead give us the backstories to both The White Rabbit and Mary. While going into there backstories isn't a bad thing as it does help to develop there characters a little bit more and make them feel more like well rounded characters it's the placement of the episode that feels off as instead of doing this episode as either the second or perhaps even third episode of the show it's done as the shows sixth episode which just causes the show to loose all momentum as they spend both the fourth and fifth episodes starting to build us up to this epic finale only for the very next episode to slow things down by quite alot by giving us an episode that not only has very minimal dialog in it but also tells us a story that would have been better served if it was placed earlier on in the shows run as by this point you want every single episode to be all about getting us to the final episode and not have an episode that gets in the way of that by telling a story that by this point in the shows run is to little to late as even tho we had had gotten huge chunks of Mary's backstory all throughout the season at this point we hadn't gotten anything from The White Rabbit which was fine as it could be argued that the less we knew about him the more scarier that he was but because it was placed this late in the show it also made his backstory feel more like an after thought and the episode as a whole feel like filler as apart from the song "Afterlife" by Evanescence there's really no reason to watch this episode at all.

Now then while I cannot for the life of remember the exact grand total running for this show I do know that for the fact that this has / had an exact grand total running of roughly two hours and thirty minuets. With each of the shows first eight episodes being around thirty minuets in length which to be fait is the perfect amount of running time for this show to have but at the same time as this show really does have more then enough plot to cover not only it's current running time but also longer it would have helped this show if this first batch of episodes was slightly higher because as was mentioned earlier on in the review that would allow for the plot to become alot more fully developed then what it already with this show not really using it's running time all that wisely either as the world that this shows takes place in does feel rather underdeveloped and not thought out that well which is something that whilst it does hurt the show it is understandable as well as they have the to tell the plot in the most effective way possible and sadly that does mean things like world building and fleshing out the plot of the show are going to fall by the way side somethin that does happen in this show and yet if this show did have more episodes to it it would allow for the world to be more develop and for the plot of the show to alot more fleshed out but because of the fact that the makers of the show chose to put alot more effort into putting in songs from Evanescence , Papa Roach , Limb Bizkit and Green Day it means that we end up with a show where the world isn't that fully developed and the plot of the show isn't all that fleshed out but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this shows action being in a word cool which to be fair is all you want from an action orientated show and it's something that this show has in spades with the characters just doing lots of cool moves that end up with there opponents dieing in alot of cool and VERY gory ways as yes this show is not for the weak stomached but in saying that given that this is an adult show it does make sense that it would be gory and to the shows credit they really don't go over the top with the gore only using to show that a character has died in a really brutal way which given that the heroes are fighting demons does make sense however what doesn't work tho and what might be seen as being a bit over kill is the fact that the shows has at the very least two fully blown action scenes per episode which is something that could be seen as being exhausting as there's more often then not very little time for us the audience to catch our breaths before the next starts up with it being really hard to say just what the best action scene is as there's so many of them to choose from but what can be said is that the final fight between Dante and The White Rabbit is just as cool and over the top as you'd want it to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while Netflix themselves might have not announced a second season just yet given just how this first batch of episodes ends it's pretty clear that the makers of this show are hoping for one with this show being worth watching just for the action scenes alone as there just that good in this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review from the official Devil May Cry fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great the official Devil May Cry fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Devil May Cry fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
