Devil May Cry - Ep 02 - 05
More Devil May Cry....
02: In this Ep we are introduced to a new character, a female Devil Hunter. We also meet up with the original players Dante, who we discover has a weakness for Pizza and keeps a running tab with the local pizza joint, and Patty Lowell (the orphan from Ep 01) who is not so poor anymore after the Real Patty Lowell gives her a chunk of the inheritance. Dante is the poor one, and because of this he is coerced to take a job from our Female Hunter.
The highway patrol has a Devil on the loose and it keeps killing motorcycle riders. Red eye (the Demon/Devil) has taken the life of one particular rider and his brother is hunting him too but mostly he is just playing sitting duck. It's up to Dante to lure Red Eye out when he challenges the brother to a race.
Poor Dante is left holding the bag when he doesn't get paid for the highway job so we will see him taking on another mission in Ep 03. I'm going to keep watching this one until it disappoints. This Episode didn't shed any light on the questions Ep 01 laid out. On the contrary it added another variable to the lineup by introducing us to this Devil Hunter and not giving us any background info at all! I found it curious how the Devil they were hunting was called Red Eye and this Devil Hunter has... One Red Eye! Hmmm... Will it be significant?
After being use to sitting and watching hour long Dramas it's a bit bizarre to sit and watch a 24 minute Ep of an anime but I'm willing to sacrifice myself! LOL!
03: Dante is a half breed born between the union of a human and a demon which is the story in this Ep.
Dante's Agent, Morrison, is contacted for a job. The Mayor of Capulet city wants Dante to kill a man named Bradley. His daughter, Angelina, has fallen in love with this man and he suspects Bradley to be a Devil because he has the mysterious gift of healing. It seems that although Bradley might not be all human his heart is feeling real human emotions and this has Dante re-thinking his mission.
I found the animation a bit lacking in this Ep. unfortunately. But the story was cute and we finally got an insight on WHAT Dante is.
04: Girl Fight!! Dante's mystery woman makes an appearance and takes on the Devil Huntress from Ep 02 (I'm thinking I must have missed her name at some point and forever will be referred to Red Eye Huntress). The Red Eye Huntress is a bit ticked off that she cannot kill off this woman who she believes is a Devil. She is especially pissed that every time she fights the Lightning Queen (she can manipulate Lightning) she needs to go off and buy herself new clothes because hers gets trashed.
After these two kick their respective asses all over the place Dante decides to make an act of appearance and introduces the mysterious Lightning woman as Trish, his ex-partner. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that there doesn't appear to be any real romantic history between these two.
05: Dante is being followed by a muscle man who is a bit jealous that the girl he wants would prefer Dante and will call him a REAL Man. Obviously Dante is doing his Devil hunting bit and the guy sees him doing his stuff. Well.. discovering damaging info about Dante does not ingratiate the poor guy to the waitress he likes but it does make him a target for the Devils that want to see Dante hurt/dead.
One such demon gives him a small bell that will attract larger, more violent demons that might be able to defeat Dante, but the witless man has no clue and doesn't use it. Dante though finds it and proceeds to kick butt!
I had been watching the last three Eps dubbed since the first episode was so badly subbed but these Subs were excellent. Also the animation was improved as well.
On the down side, the series has become episodic, without an underlying plot that will carry. I'm hoping that it's just that I haven't gotten there yet but with just 12 episodes in the series, we are almost at half point.
