Devil May Cry Anime show Discussion Thread

[NikHelton]

Would be a massive improvement. Tokyo Ghoul was a garbage anime. On top of that, with the exception of the last two Berserk movies and certain parts of the 90s Berserk show, a lot of them have been garbage too. Latest adaptation was practically unwatchable. I don't know anyone from Japan or outside of Japan who liked it.

I agree with every word you've said. Not only were the adaptations of both manga terrible, but the works themselves had serious problems towards the end. I would have cut 50% of the background characters in TG:Re, changed the fates of many characters, and even the ending itself. We have a fan theory that Re's ending is Kaneki's dream while in a coma, and that seems much more logical than what we saw in the final chapter, the resolution to the conflict we received, and the happy ending, which only affected Tokyo, leaving the rest of the world unchanged.

In Berserk, I would also have changed the tone and pacing of the final arcs, because watching Schierke cry over a dream in which Isidro turned into a macaque and stole her honey is a disgrace for a dark fantasy series with such a cult following.

There is absolutely nothing interesting about the despair unbound/argosax in DMC2. He's a faceless, voiceless blob that shows up in the very last chapter of the game to be dunked on in 30 minutes. This type of characterization isn't interesting, it is the most basic characterization conceivable. It barely got a face and a name, then a throwaway sentence sometime later in other media.

Argosax in the game is simply an angel model with a fire texture applied to it. And he certainly doesn't emanate the same threat as Argosax in the TV series.

Mundus at no point in the actual games ever says such a thing as "I don't believe anyone should be a person". He beat Vergil up, mind controlled him, and even needed the amulet to make it stick. He's the one who created the angelo army after all. If his motives were truly so incompatible with human villainous motives, you wouldn't spend time describing a lot of human methods like you did. Seriously. Getting revenge on the sons of someone who "vanquished" you years ago happens in our world all the time. Same for Tyrants, scheming, and manipulation. Mundus is just a very simple character that was kept in the background of DMC1 a lot. Everything I typed here is practically replicated in the show btw.

He is an evil boss, it's ok. I don't think anyone that actually worked on DMC1 described him as anything more when reading their actual interviews in those Capcom books released a decade ago.

But in the series, demons are humanized, so Mundus's rule feels more personal and profound. Besides, it doesn't seem like he was planning to discard Vergil as expendable after all his plans and actually wanted to make him his right-hand man.

From what I remember @Lightning_XXI is gonna do a lot of revisions for the verse along with calcs and stuff

Finally S1 LT. Arkham will stomp Dennis as it should be

Oh, btw

I started writing my stuff about the series but honestly I don't have the strength to keep going, I would need to rewatch the series at least one more time before making all the scaling or re-scaling, and it will be better if done by people who cares about the series instead of me

Surely you understand how much of a torture it would've been

 

[WhydoIneedtosignupintwoplaces]

Anyone capable, Just do the calcs, others can do the "Scaling" and ratings as necessary.

Just wondering where did you even get that information??

Also agree to disagree, I really felt nothing for this Argosax. If anything I felt threatened by how weak dante and vergil in netflix were. I swear I was thinking someone was jump them and beat them at a moment's notice.

I'm so happy Shankar's work touched you that way, I can only pray he gets a hold of Tokyo Ghoul in the same fashion he did with DMC after he blesses Berserk.

OH HELL NAH HE ALREADY ****** UP DMC AND NOW YOU WANT HIM TO **** TOKYO GHOUL TOO?!

Pierrott did this long before Shankar. I am absolutely convinced that half of Re needs to be rewritten

what? no, RE is fine despite the rushed ending it was pretty good

Also, are we ******* serious? saying Shitkar would do a better job? my guy he would probably do Kaneki even dirtier than Ishida did him and it wouldn't be because of any theme or relevant plot point, it will be just because he can
