So it's completely new and has nothing to do with the games. What do you think?

It's based on the DMC novel. I found a copy at Hastings. It will explain the giant Rebellion, the bar, the little girl and Morrison, the guy in the blue vest.

As for the timeframe; the anime will more than likely NOT match up with DMC3 since it is supposed to be a prequal to DMC, he's using an opened Rebellion instead of Force Edge, and is working out of a bar.

Although it looks like they tried to do some force-fitting into the anime by having Dante use Rebellion instead of Force Edge like in the book. Also the trailer lists voice acters for both Lady and Trish.

That has nothing to do with this thread.

Anyhow, I never knew the anime was going to be based on the novel, so that is cool news
