In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that despite its flaws, such as the overuse of CG, lackluster humor, and somewhat predictable characters, the series shines as a thrilling video game adaptation. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted a show that not only pays homage to the Devil May Cry games but also offers a wild and bold critique of '00s Americana. The animation stands out as some of the best you'll see, and the epic finale sets the stage for an even more intense second season.
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock, given that series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc." For those eager to dive deeper, 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 beloved series on Netflix.
