Disappointing

m4menghi

As a huge fan of the games I felt like I was reading a bad movie adaptation of a book. There is maybe only one moment during the entire series when you feel like Dante is in any kind of danger, and without that there is just very little excitement. Even in what are supposed to be his hardest battles he never seems to be in danger, which knowing his background from the games is what you'd expect, but didn't make for a very exciting show. There are also many key elements lacking from the game such as his Devil Trigger, and gaining and using new weapons. The only reason I gave this a 5 was because it captured Dantes character very well and also had some excellent animation elements to it. If they continue this series I would hope the writers would play the games through and try to match what they see there.

score 5/10
