While details about the upcoming season remain under wraps, viewers can revisit the first season, which is now fully available on Netflix. This gives subscribers a chance to see what sparked the demand for more episodes. In our review of Devil May Cry Season 1, we noted that despite some shortcomings, such as the use of subpar CG, uninspired humor, and predictable characters, the series still shines.

The animation stands out as some of the best of the year, culminating in an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.
