Dante apparently dead...how did you feel?

[DragonMaster2010]

^ Ugh...I attempted to watch the SPN anime...only got about halfway through the first episode. :facepalm: It really didn't fit with the series-they were too open with each other about what they were thinking and feeling. :/ I mean, I like when people are direct and honest with each other, but there are limits, and well, we don't go running around, blurting stuff like that out for all to hear. It just felt...off.

You know what else wasn't in it?

Lol! No comment on that one...

No but seriously...too bad they didn't have Cas.:'( Then again, they only loosely focused on the first two seasons, so....

That cross scene was just needless melodrama. More reasons to have Patty cry all over big brother Dante if you ask me LOL. Dead? Pfft, nah!!!

I kinda rolled my eyes when he "died." I mean, I played all the games before watching the anime so I was like...."Seriously? I know better than that."

The scene really didn't garner any emotional tension and narrative suspense at all.

We know Dante can't die from literally ANY mortal means, so putting him in a scenario where he's wounded or impaled isn't frantic or suspenseful at all. That's the problem with power fantasies like Dante...they can't evolve, they can't endure, they can't suffer, get weaker, get stronger, or get development. They're 100% perfect and invincible right off the bat, so injecting any kind of plot to make anyone care is a laughably-useless endeavor.

pretty much typical anime writing. First baddy need to win a little, for hero to come back and kick his butt

I was just like, "You idiot! Why didn't you kill Sid earlier?".

It's kind of like the Supernatural anime. Instead of following source material and appealing to the larger crowd of SPN fans, it appealed to anime fangirls who probably don't even know what SPN was until it became an anime.

What's even worse was that Bingo Morihashi and Hiroyuki Kobayashi----the scenario writer of DMC 3 and 4, and a participating Dev Team member from DMC1's production---were in charge of handling the show's story and scenarios.

Some of the brains behind the story of the DMC games worked on the anime---and somehow, with no gameplay or mechanics to hinder their focus, they somehow made the plot make even LESS sense than the games. That's a feat so ludicrously unthinkable, it's almost impossible to comprehend.
