Dare I dub it Stylish??

"Devil May Cry, based off the popular video game series (like I need to say that...)is a greatly entertaining series. Without going into detail of each episode, Dante is doing what Dante does best, going around looking good, killing demons and not really getting paid for it (due mostly to his horrible debts). The first episode introduces us to two new characters, Morrison (who finds jobs for Dante) and Patty Lowell (an orphan girl he protects in the first episode, and then can't seem able to get rid of.) You will be very familiar with these two, since they are in just about every episode.
It's funny, there's more hilarious quirks to love about Dante (like his affection for strawberry sundaes... very manly), Lady and Trish make their appearances, and, can't believe I'm saying this, but the dub overall is so good I might actually prefer it to the subbed (Morikawa Toshiyuki, who plays the Japanese Dante, is one of my faves, but the dub actor, Reuben Langdon but credited as Justin Cause, is really good and sounds a bit sexier. He's also been Dante since DMC3 so it's consistency and yay for that!!!) It's a monster of the week series, and at 12 episodes, it ends too soon for me. Give it a try, I guarantee it won't dissapoint."
A Good Anime Show For Our Favorite Devil Hunter

"While this series is only 13 episodes they were all very good and entertaining. To those who have played the game you will see some of the other characters like Trish and Lady as well as a new character for the anime Patty Lowell who in the first episode is being protected by Dante to make sure she gains her supposed inheritance from her father. The English voice actors for Dante, Trish, and Patty were good but sadly the one for Lady was just terrible it seemed like she just read the lines from the script with either little or no feelings at all so it's probably best to watch most of these episodes subbed instead. Still all in all the shows still good and I'm definitely getting the last dvd in October so for all Devil May Cry fans who'd like to see Dante fighting an a few more life defying moments these episodes are the ones to watch..."
A good start

"I have no idea as to what the previous version was like before it was pulled and re-release, but I would suggest that any fan of the Devil May Cry video game series check this anime out. It has a musical score that fits with the overall mood of the series (such as Rungran's Opening D.M.C. with its guitar riffs and up-beat orchestra) to the faithful character designs from the games in addition to new ones along with how these individuals are portrayed. All in all, it's a good start to a great video game based anime."
