I'll probably watch this while I go to bed. Thanks for the post! What were your thoughts on the video? I was not a big fan of the anime, namely because of the politics. That said, I tried to have a good attitude about it. It's got great action sequences, and the art direction was pretty nice for a 3D anime (I usually do not like those very much at all).

The thing I could not abide was making Lady into a "Mary Sue." She was better than Dante in every quality for no good reason other than politics. I like Lady, and I want her to have an awesome role in the series, but she does not need to outshine Dante. Her characterization in the DMC3 story was much better in my opinion.
