"The animated series (from the same studio as the successful My Adventures With Superman) has a pretty even share of fans and detractors, all boiling down to the fact that it's a pretty radical reinvention of the game's narrative, which features half-human/half-demon bounty hunter Dante protecting humanity from demonic hordes and also healing his Shakespearean dysfunctional relationship with his twin brother Vergil."
"In the brief clip, Dante is given his iconic dual-wielded, two-toned M1911 handguns affectionately referred to as Ebony and Ivory, and wastes no time in showing off their devastating potential. Created by the talented gunsmith Nell Goldstein, the guns appear in every entry in the video game series, notable for their incredibly high rate-of-fire and juggle potential, necessary to sustain the slick combos the games are known for."
"While she never makes a direct appearance in any of the games, Nell is a key figure in Dante's life, becoming a sort of motherly figure to him in the Devil May Cry prequel novel from 2002."
Netflix's Devil May Cry animated series, produced by the studio behind My Adventures With Superman, returns for a second season after a year-long wait. The show has garnered mixed reactions due to its significant departure from the game's original narrative, introducing the paramilitary organization DARKCOM and reframing the human-demon conflict as post-9/11 paranoia allegory. Despite varied fan responses, the series achieved sufficient success to warrant renewal with a quick turnaround. The upcoming season will feature Dante wielding his signature dual-wielded M1911 handguns, Ebony and Ivory, created by gunsmith Nell Goldstein. These weapons are iconic to the video game franchise, known for their high rate-of-fire and combo potential. Nell Goldstein, a character from the 2002 prequel novel who serves as a motherly figure to Dante, will appear in the television adaptation.
