3 Reasons Why 2007’s ‘Devil May Cry: The Animation’ Is Better Than the Netflix Anime and 3 Reasons It’s Not

The recent release of the 2025 Netflix adaptation of Devil May Cry has naturally garnered many comparisons with its 2007 Japanese animated series by Madhouse. It’s safe to say both offer unique takes on the franchise.
Dante is at the forefront of both adaptations but is portrayed quite differently in each. The same goes for Lady’s character, who has garnered much controversy for her portrayal in Netflix’s Devil May Cry. Nonetheless, neither of these animated series matched the video game’s stylishness and storyline.
