A Great Story that adds up with the Other Stories! DMC Forever!

I am one of the few who is actually considered a big huge fan of DMC.

I Started playing the Games in the original order from when it came out (1-3 soon 4). Replayed the games in the specific order in which Capcom admitted was the True order (3, 1, 2... 4 is in between 3 & 1 so I will do that later). And of course replayed the games again in a higher difficulty level.

Read the Novels, Read the Comics... in which I proudly own them all and re-read when given the chance.

I made and own Dante's costume and weapons... I am just missing Ebony & Ivory (dammit!) But I have substitutes.

Then of course I have all 12 Episodes of the DMC Series. Which I am now watching the 3rd time just to see if I missed anything.

NOW! From my perspective of this whole Franchise of DMC... Every story told from the different Sources (aka books, games, etc) have it's own appeal and Promotes a different side of the story of our beloved hero Dante. Bringing in a new vision of what or who Dante is as well as the overall complex story surrounding the entire DMC world.

That is what it's supposed to be People! Have an open mind! Sure they all do not have that same feel as the game. Because If the books or TV series did that... then it would be boring since we Already saw fast-paced action in the games way way too many times, which will make things repetitive.

DMC does have a story, which is why they made the books and such. Like Final Fantasy VII, They had to unfold weak plot holes that will make the story even better by filling those holes with a twist. DMC is doing the same thing, and Wants you to understand the Strong Story. Not just about Dante+action.

The Books explains how Dante got his beloved guns Ebony & Ivory and also explores his overall lifestyle as a growing half Devil-Human. In the game, we get to understand His dysfunctional family and why Dante does what he does and all the fun within his job. The comic is more of a support for the DMC 3 game, bringing out in debt details about both Dante and his brother Virgil. The TV Series is more about exploring Dante's real personality and overall realistic lifestlye as a struggling business owner, bringing in the human feel as he struggles with debts and such.

Overall, This Series is one for the True Fans! And it is also a teaser for those who are not familiar with DMC. Do not feel disappointed for it's simple and less action oriented story. Be happy that Dante and his pals have made it this far! And I am rooting for the 2010 Live Action DMC! I am giving a 10/10 for this series unfolds another great story about the life of Dante and his Devil May Cry shop. He is a great guy who loves Rock, eats pizzas and Strawberry Sundae Ice cream, and has a big heart in helping others and saving the world. Speaking of ice cream, don't mind if I do!
