Devil May Cry

description

Devil May Cry is a slick, stylish adult animated series for Netflix, created by Adi Shankar and based on Capcom's long-running video-game franchise. Animated by South Korea's acclaimed Studio Mir, the team behind The Legend of Korra, it brings the games' over-the-top, gun-and-sword demon-slaying to the screen with a punk-rock attitude and a distinctive visual swagger.

Johnny Yong Bosch, a longtime voice of the games' heroes, voices Dante, the wisecracking, red-coated half-demon mercenary who hunts the monsters spilling into the human world. When a shadowy figure called the White Rabbit (Hoon Lee) sets a demonic invasion in motion, Dante is drawn into a larger conflict, clashing with a steely human operative, Mary Ann 'Lady' Arkham (Scout Taylor-Compton). Shankar structures the story around the imagery of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, with a soundtrack of nineties rock giving the carnage its heartbeat.

Premiering in April 2025, the eight-episode first season was a critical and popular success, earning rave reviews for its kinetic animation and action set-pieces and even driving a fresh sales surge for the Devil May Cry games. It quickly ranked among the best-reviewed video-game adaptations around and was renewed for further seasons. It streams on Netflix.

Bob's Burgers

Animation & Cartoons
"Bob's Burgers" re-opened on Main Street in its imaginary town just in time to fill a gap and restore the life in Fox Network's Sunday-night "Animation Domination" line-up. For at least three seasons, the animation had remained, but the domination drained away. "Bob's Burgers" brought back the disaffected viewers, immediately scoring excellent ratings and even better reviews. Of course, local restaurateur Bob has a troubled family; who doesn't? Unlike the Simpsons, your favourite family guy, and the folks in Cleveland's neighbourhood, however, Bob's family doesn't even put-up a pretence to reconciliation and love. Why would they? They are far funnier when they fight. Each character is as flat as the simple drawings that bring the people to life: Bob's wife Tina idealizes marriage. Daughters Louise and Linda are a trouble-maker and a freak respectively; and son Gene is the avatar of all things loud and obnoxious. The simple stuff works because the writers and animators have talent and skill to play it to the max. "Bob's Burgers" has the right ingredients in the right proportions"”spectacular writing combines with simple-but-engaging animation as expert comedians deliver the lines even better than the writers intended. One critic, pointing out the characters' "lovability," noted, "Two minutes into the second episode, countless winning jokes already have hit the mark." Wow, an animated series that actually delivers what the viewers crave? What a concept!
