In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that despite its flaws, such as poor use of CG, subpar humor, and predictable characters, the series managed to shine. Adi Shankar and Studio Mir delivered a fun video-game adaptation that serves as both a wild homage to and a critique of '00s Americana. We highlighted the exceptional animation quality and an epic finale that effectively sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a shock, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc." For those eager for more insights, don't miss our discussion with Shankar from IGN Fan Fest 2025, where he shared how the anime aims to capture the essence of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix.
