Devil May Cry Anime U.S. Release Likely Canceled

The North American release of the Devil May Cry anime series may have been canceled by publisher ADV Films, according to a recent report from ICv2. The report, which indicates a broad number of domestic cancellations on ADV's part, including the Devil May Cry series, has since been pulled from the site, but is still available via Google Cache. Despite being announced in December for a February 5 release, absolutely no references to Devil May Cry currently exist on ADV Films' web site. These references, however, are also still available as cached pages.

From the episodes I saw, the anime was bad imo. It lacks a good storyline and theres very little action.

ya no big lost pretty sure you can find the subs online if your a diehard dmc fan.

barom5937d ago

yeah, although I thought the very first episode was pretty good. then from ep 2-11 or so was just boring stuff. rest was average.

ChaosKnight5937d ago

Yeah, it was a disappointment... I'll take the games over the anime any day. I kinda hope they do make anime or manga that is more exciting and insures that Dante's attitude is spunkier. =P

You can watch all of the episodes (at least you could) on Youtube with english subtitles.

There is only like 13 episodes and they revolve around Dante fighting off random demons that end up being sacrifices for a larger demon that was associated with Mundus. Dante doesn't devil trigger until the very last episode and even then you don't get to see it.

Lady and Trish are both in the series and they both meet for the first time and end up making Dante's life a living heck. Also, Dante has an agent named Morrison and one of the girls he saves (a little girl named Patty) ends up hanging out at Dante's "Devil May Cry" store for fun while all he does is sit around all day and eat ice cream in between killing demons.

The anime is more humerous than serious, and Dante is more of a lazy bastard rather than the brash hunter we see in the series.

HOWEVER, in the 10th episode he comes across two characters who seem to be connected to an organization that seemingly worships Sparda. SO! I'm assuming since the anime IS considered canon material that the organization in the anime and in the DMC4 game are one and the same.

I recommend people to pick up the anime if they can ever find it. It isn't as bad as most of the crap that comes across the TV in terms of anime, and it sheds some light on a few things about day to day life with Dante, Lady, and Trish.

WHY DIDN'T YOU USE SPOILER TAGS!!

Haha, just kidding. Seriously, of all the game to cartoon translations, I think the Sonic one is my favorite. Sure it was horrible, but the nostalgia!

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
