Now that a sub is out, I think that Patti is a bit older. I'm thinking 10/11 yo because of the content of her conversations and not wanting to be referred to as a kid.

25.5 hours to go for the official broadcast....

kaerstan01 · 2007-06-13, 12:11

hmm... i wonder what patti may look like after... lets see... 10 yrs?? lol <3 he really should raise her as a wife hahaha XD

btw, its good to see dante's ass kicking, gun blasting, sword slicing being animated^^

orion · 2007-06-13, 12:46

Patti pwns all in 6 years (assuming that she's 10 or 11 years old).

Spoiler for ep.1 preview showing:

Grv · 2007-06-14, 17:30

I've upped the HDTV raw to where such things can be found.

Series looks like a blood fest at the moment ;o

Royal_Devil · 2007-06-14, 19:29

Update on the WOWOW page. Apparently Lady will be featured in the next episode

Jackster · 2007-06-14, 19:35

Finally a HQ Version of the First Ep.

Hopefully the Series get´s better. The First Episode was good, but could have been better.

Coolrush · 2007-06-14, 21:22

I liked the first episode. I cant wait for Lady and Trish. I hope they stick around for the whole series instead of just dropping by for an episode.

orion · 2007-06-14, 23:21

And the blood flows red too.

ED animation and song ("I'll be your home") was nice too.

The little munchkin is back for episode 2 also.

It doesn't look like Madhouse is missing a step so far with all the shows that they are doing concurrently (Claymore, Denno Coil, Devil May Cry, Oh! Edo Rocket, Monster Princess, Story of Saiunkoku).

Edit: Do you think that Patti's clothing style is Sweet Lolita?

katakami · 2007-06-16, 11:19

I just watched the first episode. Sorry to say, I thought it was badly done.

It's a great story but where it lacks is how it was told. It should have been far more engaging as there was a lot of material to work with.

Pacing was its weakness. Sequences happened way too fast. Before I knew it, the fight scenes would be over. There was often no structure in the sequences, no climax, little tension... nothing articulately pronounced enough for me to be hooked in. Flat, no depth - there was just no time to swallow the dialogue and sequence of events to build up emotions, expectations. Just a little disappointing you know? You sit there, expecting to find something to reel you in but it's already cut to the next scene. There was just too much in such a short amount of time.

Had this been a 1-hr special I think it could have been so much better. I don't think I'll be watching any more of this series. :P

orion · 2007-06-16, 13:56

But this is an action title and most of the viewers know about the franchise. In fact, the setup implies that you at least know about the game DMC 3 and have a clue about DMC 1. That's why Lady and Trish are prominent in the pic on the website for this and why they are in the ED animation and why we were served "Dante fanservice" down to the inscription on his gun. If it had a long explanation, then people would be screaming imo.

You'd be a fool not to think that. :3

I enjoyed the first episode. Dante was awesome & the actions scenes rocked --- it helps that we have Madhouse animating the series. I find this to be a good start, as the preview for next episode has be ready and waiting.

& yeah, i have played the games. Mainly the reason behind me checking this out, though i would anyway for Madhouse action.

Well, Lolita fashion does have a lot of subtypes and it's not like I spend a lot of time following it. But it does seem that Sweet Lolita has been used in a lot of anime lately. Moon Phase, Rozen Maiden and sola comes to mind.

Makes you wonder why? It's not like something a girl from an orphanage would be attracted to I think. You would have thought that Patti would have chosen a more normal style. Do you think that it is to emphasize her purity and innocence in contrast to Dante, Trish and Lady who don't have any?

Could be. It also fits into the design of how she 'cleaned up' Dante's home.

Royal_Devil · 2007-06-16, 19:32

I'll give the little girl credit. She's pwned Dante pretty well in the episode for someone who didn't even fight him. Like eating his sundae

Or after the DMC2 reference

*Morrison pulls out a coin and flips it*

Dante: Tch. Not again.
Morrison: If you win, I'll pay off all your bills, if you guess wrong...
Dante: Alright, I get it. Heads!

=scene change=

Patty: You stink at gambling.
Dante: Shush.

kaerstan01 · 2007-06-17, 04:13

guess patti would add up to dante's harem after a few years time lol

Michael Hopcroft · 2007-06-17, 15:32

I just could not get into the first episode for some reason. Maybe it's the combination of cliche and improbability of the orphan-will-come-into-a-fortune-unless-evil-relatives-off-her-first storyline. Heck, the only reason that worked for lemony Snicket was that ti was over-the-top satire. Here, in this context of demons everywhere, the whole idea was a turnoff.

Yes, Dante was suitable wise-ass and bad-ass, but Patty just struck me as obnoxious. I kept hoping the exchanges would come out like this:

Quote:

Patty: Are you trying to get me killed?
Dante: Yes! Now be quiet!

Maybe the real Patti figures out that she will need Dante's help again and it's better to have orphan Patti as a backup/meatshield to insure that he actually shows up. He did want to kill heiress Patti after all and might not help her the second time without orphan Patti being involved imo.

Perhaps dad to heiress Patti tipped her off at what would possibly be going on and that's why she used orphan Patti as a meatshield in the first place. Heiress Patti did say that she was covering her bases. It is likely that relatives will try to off you if the amount of the inheritance is significant and they aren't included in the will.

LightningZERO · 2007-06-18, 10:12

Typical first episode of an action anime. It just shows how badass the main character is. Typical. But I love it!!!! It's Devil May Cry!!! I just love the music when Dante kills those devils in the pub. I think that's the opening theme. It rocks!

And I want strawberry sundae!

Shiori-chan · 2007-06-18, 16:00

great episode, kuro-hana thx for subbing this

Jubei_Asaemon · 2007-06-18, 21:53

First episode was pretty meh for me, animation and character designs are good though. I don't like the inclusion of Patti as a token loli, however I will reserve judgment until it is more apparent just what kind of role she is going to play. I'll probably enjoy the show either way but it just does not feel like DMC yet. The demons designs were very boring generic monster style, kinda reminded me of Guyver. I hope they use some demons more close to the ones in the games, bizarre ones like the mannequins from DMC1 or the scarecrows from DMC4, or any of the reaper ones from DMC3. It would also be cool to see some of Dante's other weapons, but based on the first episode alone he is probably just going to swing around rebellion the entire series.
