In our review of *Devil May Cry Season 1*, we noted that while the series has its flaws—including poor CG, humor that misses the mark, and characters that can feel predictable—Adi Shankar and Studio Mir have successfully created a fun video game adaptation. It's a wild, bold homage to and critique of '00s Americana. Despite its shortcomings, the show boasts some of the year's best animation and ends with an epic finale that sets the stage for an even more thrilling second season.

The news of a second season isn't entirely unexpected, as series creator Adi Shankar had previously expressed his vision for a "multi-season arc."
