I Really Didn't Like The Anime :/

Now, this? This would’ve made more sense. But knowing the most hardcore DMC Reboot haters, they’ll just be like, “why use reboot? People hated the reboot, I thought we were past this, use the original designs and blah blah blah.”

To me, THIS would’ve worked better. DMC reboot already had a different tone, different lore, and of course, since it was a reboot, the political theming could have worked here. Minus the whole racism allegory for the demons. And then Reboot Vergil could be the best villain character in the anime with him leading a whole demon army and then Netflix Lady and Reboot Dante can have a swearing competition that the internet could meme on. Plus, I could take Reboot Vergil a little more seriously.

I just kept thinking, “why not just use the DMC Reboot?” As much as that game’s writing sucked, I think that game could’ve deserved a sequel at least. There was plenty of room to make one and have that be its own separate universe while the original DMC continues as normal.

Capcom does it with the original timeline of Resident Evil and the remake timeline of Resident Evil, so why not give the same treatment to Devil May Cry? At least that’s how I personally would have done this.

moody teenagers and chores together is a recipe for disaster. Especially if the said teen is out for your blood

You know there's something fundementally wrong when DMC2 has better story and themes than a Netflix show produced by The Visionary

Things that DMC2 does better than NDMC:

Dante looks hotter

the idea of Dante pretending to leaving things to fate by flipping a coin but then revealing the coin was rigged meaning he always wanted to help people is actually really cool and gives him a better dimension than stealing Nero's arc

you can feel sorry for Lucia because she's more than a "tough" swearword dispenser

continues the theme of humanity representing more the concept of heart, emotions and compassion than being simply a race

"A king? Here's your crown"

better graphics than whatever CGI abominations were present in the anime

mfw the worst game in the series still has more salvageable traits than the visionary's adaptation

Also, just saying, if you've only seen trigun stampede (or trigun 98 for that matter) you are DEEPLY missing out on the manga's artstyle. it is pure visual ecstacy. If the words "Biomechanical" and "Angellic" mean anything to you on an aesthetic level, you with be frothing at the mouth at least once every few chapters.

Here's a collection of some of my favourite panels.

Thank you and goodnight
