Marking the DVD release in October anime expert Helen McCarthy will present a preview of episodes from the spellbinding television series based on capsom’s popular game.
Meet the Strawberry Sundae-eating half human demon hunter Dante who is hired through his mercenary business, ‘Devil May Cry’, to save the world. In the first episode, the supernatural mercenary becomes bodyguard to protect a young orphaned heiress from demons sent by fortune hunters to kill her.
‘Highway Star’ sees Dante reluctantly accept a mission to stop a possessed motorcycle, Red Eye, which haunts the motorway.
In ‘Not Love’ the mayor’s daughter is involved with a suspected devil and Dante must face the question of whether humans and devils can ever be together like his mother, Eva, and his father, the legendary dark knight, Sparda.
