In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that while the series has its flaws—including subpar CG, uninspired humor, and somewhat predictable characters—the creative vision of Adi Shankar and the animation prowess of Studio Mir have crafted an engaging video game adaptation. It's a bold and wild homage to the '00s Americana culture, filled with some of the year's best animation and an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling Season 2.
The announcement of Season 2 isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc."
