In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we highlighted both its strengths and weaknesses. We noted that the series isn't without its flaws, such as the overuse of CG, some cringe-worthy humor, and predictable character arcs. However, under the creative direction of Adi Shankar and the skilled animation of Studio Mir, it transforms into a compelling video game adaptation. It serves as a wild, audacious homage to and critique of 2000s American culture. We praised its top-tier animation and the epic finale that masterfully sets the stage for an even more thrilling Season 2.
The renewal of *Devil May Cry* for a second season isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show. For those eager to learn more, don't miss our exclusive interview with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he discusses how the anime aims to capture the essence of the beloved video game series on Netflix.
