RogerEbert.com - 80/100Devil May Cry isn't just one of the best new animated shows of 2025, it's one of the best shows of the year so far overall, and one that's deserving of the same level of success that Castlevania has rightly enjoyed.
IGN - 80/100“Devil May Cry” effectively translates the game’s kinetic pacing with a short story that takes place over 48 hours or less for its eight-episode first season. It’s a frenzied, adrenaline rush as swift as the swords Dante wields in both pacing and style, best to digest in one easy binge.
Looper - 70/100Devil May Cry is not without flaws, including horrendous use of CG, bad jokes, and predictable characters. And yet, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir craft a fun video-game adaptation that doubles as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment of '00s Americana.
The AV Club - 67/100It's undeniably an acquired taste, and as someone who previously wasn't familiar with the game series, I completely understand why anybody would bail after a single half hour in the presence of the irritating man-child bounty hunter Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch). However, I must confess that the show managed to trigger my post-Y2K nostalgia, so indebted to the pop culture of that decade that it made me feel reverence for a video game I've never played in my life.
The dialogue sometimes reaches a little too hard to find its edge or gets too caught up in winking references, including one to Iron Man 3 in which a character shrieks about flying armor. Not that the series often gives a lot of time to dwell on these downsides. It moves with lightningpeed, bouncing from one frenetic fight sequence to another.
