First of all, I am going to note that the games were much more involved with the action and the overall theme of Devil May Cry.
HOWEVER, most people that have given this anime a poor review and try to base the game on the anime seem to forget one little detail; a GAME NEEDS action to progress. This is one key element to a hack and slash/action game. That being said, I see a lot of unfair reviews bashing the anime because "it was so unlike the game". If it were made like the game in 12 episodes then we would see 20% personal character development and 80% all fight scenes. AND even THEN, the same group of people would be disappointed because of the lack of that. Give some credit where credit is due guys. Really, it was a GREAT work of anime and as there are with ANY production, some flaws to be had. An UNBIASED opinion is required for such a task as reviewing this. Unfortunately both I or anyone who has watched these most likely, shall ALWAYS compare them to the game. That is a sad realization, but all in all the anime was brilliant. Anyone who loves a good time would love this.
