Netflix's "Devil May Cry" anime premieres April 3, 2025

Netflix will release a new anime series based on the "Devil May Cry" video game on April 3, 2025. This series, produced by Adi Shankar, will feature eight episodes and will include references to the franchise's characters and stories. A new promo clip shows the main character, Dante, humorously comparing demons to Skeletor from "Masters of the Universe." This marks a shift from previous adaptations, as the new series aims to establish its own storyline while incorporating familiar elements. This is not the first animated adaptation of "Devil May Cry," but it is produced by Studio Mir, known for its work on "The Legend of Korra." The previous series aired in 2007 and had twelve episodes.
