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 fun and bold adaptation of the beloved video game. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted an homage to '00s Americana that is both deranged and captivating. The animation quality stands out as some of the best you'll see, culminating in an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling 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 the show.
