Idk I know it’s its own thing but I’m actually so disappointed with how mischaracterized everyone is and forced the writing feels. It really did not feel like DMC.

the only thing I didn't like was Lady + how hard it leaned into sci-fi, but otherwise I liked it, mostly. It felt like it was setting up a Capcom Expanded Universe (i.e. Resident Evil references, etc) which I felt explained the differences. Also, very well animated at times, expected of Studio Mir.
That being said, I've never thought DMC's story was good or sacred, same with Resident Evil or any other Capcom property, so I'm fine with the changes; the things that bothered me were more about how weak Lady's characterization was and how comparatively lame the sci-fi stuff is aesthetically.
Ep 6 was a highlight. Her not being 'lady' didn't really bother me as I don't think there are really any actually well realized characters in the games outside of looking cool. Ep 6 being so good highlighted how weak the storytelling was for her up until and after that point.
Ep 6 is such a highlight that it actively makes the weaknesses of the rest of the season look worse. Overall I thought it was a pretty okay season and a decent setup done by talented individuals, but I think another season will be where it really ends up hitting its stride.
Episode 6 was like the only episode I really liked for how creative it was, that aside nah, from Lady to Vergil and even Dante I just didn't see it for various reasons even after playing the games I can't really fit into limited bsky posts nor want to really.
I guess we'll see? If it gets a season 2
Update: I just finished watching season one with friends, and we enjoyed it. I can understand that it doesn't feel like DMC, and there were only some characters that I didn't like. But the animation and the story were pretty good
You can tell the team doesn’t understand the assignment because they went for Papa Roach and Evanescence. If they wanted to get the tone right they would have been soundtracking this shit with Mushroomhead and Poweman 5000. Coal Chamber already sounds exactly like The Time Has Come.
