I saw the first episode of this series a few weeks back and I thought it was okay, not great. Mainly because they had to add an annoying little girl as a new character because, goodness, the show would be too dull or something.

The animation is pretty good, your standard action series. What I thought was a good touch was the integration of Dante's actual skills from the game into the anime. Multiple shootings in the air from his guns, sword finishes (I forgot if his sword has a name?), and so on. Dante retains his smart-ass personality from the games too though I feel they slightly made him more anime-stereotypical...like the cool and good-looking guy with a heart, that sort of thing.

I think I need to see it again and maybe some more episodes for a proper review but from what I saw, it doesn't seem too painful. Hopefully the story will flesh out a bit and maybe the annoying little girl can get, I dunno, eaten or destroyed or something.
