Even if you're a woman, become a man and then brace yourself there is no sweeter imagery than a man bracing himself for a trainwreck. At that point you'll just have to be a man and brace yourself for the trainwreck. (That said, I gotta give some credit to designs and the fact that they're occasionally entertaining (if only because they try so hard) and evoke memories of better-written characters from the action anime of the days past really makes you wish they were put in capable hands.) Lastly, there is that typical cartoony small fry antagonist who, despite being an obnoxious eyesore, behaves like a plot-significant character and-in a great plot twist (gasp!)-actually ends up being one. The distribution of screen time in general seems to be decided by a coin toss, befitting the interchangeable, meandering nature of the support cast. But hey, if Dante doesn't bother doing the thing, it must not be very cool after all, right? There's also Trish, who is somewhere between Lady and Dante on the scale on coolness and never gets any screen time. still not quite there, you know? This, however, doesn't prevent her from being far more capable at her job. A notable character is the creatively-named Lady, who is also quite a cool, uh, lady-but. Then there's Patty, the token loli moe-blob comic relief character whose presence is never justified despite screenwriter's best efforts (which fail spectacularly, of course). First, we have Morrison, who is old-fashioned, intelligent, and an exemplary gentleman, almost a polar opposite of Dante. yes, being glorified foils, looking deliberately uncool in comparison. On the topic of characters, the entire cast is mainly there to support Dante by. If you aren't sure what "peak shallow" looks like, imagine a zit on the ground that should work. Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially reached peak shallow. Hellsing Ultimate has too much of that annoying character development? DMC should be right up your alley-it doesn't have any of that. One-Punch Man too popular for you? Take a look at this gem then: DMC did the "overpowered MC bored by flaccid antagonists" shtick some 8 years before everyone's favorite egghead came into being. Ermagherd, what an impossibly cool dude! And even during all that action, he appears to be bored out of his mind, almost depressed by doing something so utterly mundane.
Yet somehow he always fails to complete his primary objective because he's just too damn righteous or whatever. Unsurprisingly, every time he's up for a job, he always does it single-handedly-be it a bike race, gambling, or butchering a several-stories-tall demon in mere seconds-always with that detached facial expression that serves to underline his towering superiority.
Even his name has that aristocratic feel to it. He has the craziest, totally overpowered weapons-because dramatic stakes are for pussies. you guessed it, as imagined by a 14-year-old: pizza, strawberry sundae, beer-none of your chump gourmet garbage. Obviously, he only eats the most badass food in existence. He always has that swag going, and his sense of fashion oozes style-as imagined by a 14-year-old. being cool? He tries so hard he transcends the meaning of the word "cool", being the living embodiment of coolness never seen since the cool came to cool town.
Devil may cry 5 voice actors series#
As I mentioned earlier, everything in this series is about showing Dante in the process of, uh. Rating the story with 3 is me being generous here, owing it mostly to the universe created by the DMC game series. For that exact reason you shouldn't worry about spoilers when discussing this series, as it's virtually impossible to spoil anything of substance. You could probably even watch episodes 2–9 in any order without disturbing the narrative. Furthermore-just to tease you-at several points you get an impression that some general plot is about to emerge (it eventually does, but already after you have lost all hope for it), but the very next moment you have your expectations casually ruined once again. And before you ask the obvious question-yes, it has less of a story than the action games No joke-this is essentially a slice-of-life series about Dante showing off. Of which you won't be getting any for about 9 episodes in a row (yes, out of 12 total). Let's begin with this totally alien concept called the story. I mean, the games are pretty consistently decent-so why isn't this show the same? It does its thing nicely for a bit but then goes and ruins it with some silly nonsense.
