Devil may cry season 2 Review
Before I give my full review i wanted to note that the show is definitely getting a lot of hate due to the fact its basically a huge disrespect in the name of devil may cry game franchise, but I always watched this show as not part of the devil may cry franchise but rather a spin-off/ completely different series, and that's how I quite enjoyed it.
Here are things I liked about it.
- Music :- The music was absolute cinema especially the bury the light riff playing whenever vergil is fighting. Though the remix of bury the light is hated by a lot, I personally didn't really hate it as a remix but wish they used the actual one which is ofc impossible to happen
- Animation :- I wish invincible had this type of animation, this was honestly one of the greatest animations I saw from American animations. The fight scenes and the cgi went well.
- Meme references :- Now a lot of people hate this cuz it feels like Adi Shankar has never played the games but only Larped through some random memes, still seeing those references felt really cool to me
Apart from that, I liked how Vergil was more of the main character for like the first half of the season.
Now people really hated the character stories and how they are completely different from the game, but if we see this as its own series instead of being the animated version of devil may cry games, it's story was sure basic generic shounen type but I still enjoyed it. It felt kinda cliche and i basically predicted everything that happens in the upcoming episodes while watching one episode and that was also kinda fun to see predictions coming true. People really hate this Vergil character because again he's not like vergil in the games, and was basically the same "we were brother once" trope character but still loved him and his cool scenes.
Final words for people who'll watch the show, please don't expect it to be like devil may cry games, in fact don't think of it as a devil may cry game based show at all, and then it'll be a slightly bit more enjoyable.
