Devil May Cry: The Animated Series

Devil May Cry: The Animated Series (デビル メイ クライ Debiru Mei Kurai) is a Japanese anime series based on the video game series by Capcom. It is set sometime between Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2. The show is produced by the anime studio Madhouse and directed by Shin Itagaki. It debuted on the WOWOW TV network in Japan on June 14, 2007 and ran for 12 episodes.

ADV Films originally licensed and dubbed the series, but it was transferred to FUNimation Entertainment following ADV's financial problems.

Synopsis Detroit Metal City (DMC) is a quickly rising independent death metal band. They garner fame by performing wild live shows and writing songs filled with hate, violence, and rape. The band is fronted by Sōichi Negishi, who takes on the stage name Krauser II. On stage he is a wild, unchained beast. Off-stage he is a tranquil, tender-loving person who enjoys Swedish pop music. He hates himself as Krauser and his two personalities collide, making his private life very difficult.
