In our review of *Devil May Cry* Season 1, we highlighted both the series' shortcomings and its strengths. "Devil 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. If nothing else, it contains some of the best animation you’re likely to see this year, and its epic finale makes for a very effective tease for an even wilder second season."
The announcement of Season 2 shouldn't come as a surprise to keen followers of the series. Adi Shankar, the creator, had previously hinted at a "multi-season arc" for the show.
