In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that the series, despite its flaws such as poor CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that follow predictable arcs, manages to deliver a thrilling video game adaptation. Creators Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a wild and bold homage to the '00s Americana, which, despite its imperfections, showcases some of the year's best animation and culminates in an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more intense second season.
The return of *Devil May Cry* for a second season shouldn't come as a shock, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc."For those eager for more insights, don't miss our conversation with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to capture the essence of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix.
