In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted some imperfections, such as the poor use of CG, uninspired humor, and predictable characters. However, we praised the series for its engaging adaptation of the video game, crafted by Adi Shankar and Studio Mir. We described it as a "deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment of '00s Americana." Additionally, we highlighted the exceptional animation quality and the thrilling finale, which sets the stage for an even more intense second season.
The announcement of Season 2 aligns with earlier statements from series creator Adi Shankar, who had expressed his vision for a multi-season arc.For more insights, don't miss our conversation with Shankar at IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to capture the essence of the series on Netflix.
