In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that, despite its flaws such as the overuse of CG, less-than-stellar humor, and somewhat predictable characters, the series stands out. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have crafted an engaging video game adaptation that serves as both a homage to and a critique of '00s Americana. The animation quality is top-notch, and the epic finale sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
The announcement of Season 2 may not come as a shock to those who follow the series closely. Series creator Adi Shankar has previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc," hinting at the expansive narrative he intends to explore.
