Netflix has announced the Devil May Cry anime series, based on the Capcom series of the same name. It is created by Adi Shankar and animated by South Korean animation studio Studio Mir.
Oh yeah, it was Netflix shitcanning their entire animation department. No wonder they’re going with Studio Mir, they fucking fired everybody competent internally.
As much as I liked Castlevania, I think Warren Ellis brought more to the series than people think. I’m not sure if I trust Adi Shankar to write a compelling narrative on his own. Especially with Netflix slashing budgets and somehow saving this one from cancellation.

I feel like this was announced years ago.

Turns out I was right. This was announced first in 2018.
I wonder what happened between then and now that would delay this so much?

Yeesh, that doesn’t inspire confidence. Good catch!
