If you haven't already know, Capcom is finally giving us a series based on another men in red. It shall be released in Japan, Spring 2007. Here is it's official site.

From what I googled, the series will only last 12 episodes, will be produced by Madhouse studios, directed by Shin Itagaki, and Toshiki Inoue will be the script writter.
Though I ponder if it will be English, since most of the DMC games are voiced in English with Japanese subtitles.

This will be the second time Dante appears anime-like, the first is Viewtiful Joe game.

Oh well, when I go to Otakon this year, I could seek it out to see if it's any good.

Here's the trailer on You Tube if anyone is interested.

It's about time! They've only been teasing us for the last year.

I hope it really rocks. DMC is a perfect series for anime and movies (I haven't really been impressed with the comics. Has anyone read the novel? I heard it starred the writer's original character or something and stayed totally away). I don't really mind if it's in Japanese or English as long as it's done well.

Or if not done well, done completely over the top and cheesy, like DMC has always been.

While cheesy and over-the-top is good, it just doesn't work when you have a character who looks like he just graduated from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's University, scarfing down pizza and rocking the bowl cut. (DMC3) That was just too cheesy.

I have, both were released by TokyoPop. DMC Novel 1 was a prelude to DMC, while DMC Novel 2 was a prelude to DMC2.

---

Ah, okay. I got thrown off when they were talking about "Tony" (laaaaaame). Are they actually any good?

And you're right, HH, DMC3 Dante was too much for me. Dante's much better in the first game, when he's a goober but not an obnoxious little punk.

Maybe if he actually, like, talked at all in DMC2 he could have been cool then, too.

They're actually good for 10$ Also both feature artwork based on the story.

New Anime Trailer up, along with clips from DMC4 on YouTube.

Other news, they say the anime will start in June, which means I won't be seeing it at Otakon. Oh well.
