Animated by Studio Mir (The Legend of Korra, Voltron: Legendary Defenders)

The last anime didn't work for me and 4/5/reboot had good ideas but didn't grab me like 3 did so I'm hoping this really gets me excited about DMC again.

I hope it's a 2024 release but the lack of inmediate confirmation tells me it's an early 2025 release.

I like the look of it, i hope it captures dante and the crazy stylish combat properly

Not a fan of Dante's design, the animation looks fine from the 3-ish seconds we got to see of it, it'll definitely need to hold up throughout as the teaser suggests they aren't going the Gungrave route.

Saying I am cautiously optimistic would be an understatement.

Seems this already is an thread, Somehow im Hyped too

Guess they will never go back to DMC1/2 kind of design for Dante
Is this taking place after DMC3?

I don´t like the desing at the moment. My hypothesis is a version of Tony Redgrave.

This Dante design is mismatch of various other Dantes. (Thanks to @WiseWolfKraft on Twitter)

The last anime was focused on a case of the week structure with a new plot. I liked the idea and I'm hoping this take doing something similar.

It's probably an overarching plot and more serialized than the last one.

I rather get a new story but I don't mind adapting the games. Since it's probably a multi season show they could do both types. It's similar to how Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy films were.

I really hope they give us a longer trailer before the end of 2023, or early next year

We need to see more

Maybe Dante runs into Julius Belmont and Soma Cruz?

Coincidentally Marvel rebooted their Ultimate Universe this year.

I guess 2023 is the year of second reboots.

I might've preffered the roleswap au where Vergil and Dante swapped roles. It's a clearer hook than what this show has currently. Right now it just has nostalgia for 3 going for it.

I wonder if they might answer who Nero's mom might be by the end of the show. Even with a reboot, it's unlikely Nero would pop up so exploring Vergil's relationship with his mom might be better.

Although it would be cool to see their take on 2's setting and characters.
