Devil May Cry is an anime series based on the video game series created and owned by Capcom. It debuted on the WOWOW TV network in Japan on June 14 2007, and it ran 12 episodes.[1][2][3]
The show is produced by the anime studio Madhouse and is directed by Shin Itagaki. Bingo Morihashi, one of the writers for the second, third and fourth games, is also on the writing staff.
A teaser-trailer, released on the show's official site, featured pre-production artwork of Dante, the primary protagonist and playable character of the video games, and confirmed him as the show's main protagonist.
A second trailer released at the 2007 Tokyo International Anime Fair showed actual animation from the show and included a character and cast list, featuring both new characters and other characters from the games.
At the beginning of June, the entire first episode was released to Asian countries except Japan.[citation needed] The first episode aired in Japan on June 14 2007.
On June 30 2007, at Anime Expo 07, it was announced that ADV had licensed the show.
Plot
No official chronology places the events of the show within the current game canon, however characters Lady and Trish, who debuted in the third and first games respectively, appear as semi-regulars. it is generally beleived it takes place some time between Devil May Cry 1 and 4.
In the show, Dante runs his devil-hunting business, Devil May Cry, while struggling under constant financial debt. There are also two new regular characters -- Dante's agent Morrison who visits frequently, and Patty Royale, a young orphan girl he saved in the first episode, who either visits as well, or lives with him.
While the show's stories are mostly self-contained, a season-long plot which was introduced in episode one comes to the forefront in episodes 11 and 12.
