Just announced, the latest Devil May Cry anime is now streaming on Netflix. Fans of Batman might find the voice of a deceased icon among the cast members.
Under the direction of Adi Shankar (known for Netflix’s Castlevania anime and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix series), the upcoming show centers around Dante, a mercenary who hunts demons for a living. In this new series, he embarks on a mission to prevent a demonic infiltration of our world.
The film has had a strong launch, garnering an impressive 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (a score that surpasses many video game adaptations) and receiving accolades from devoted followers of the extended franchise. If you’re well-versed in Marionettes or Beelzebubs, you’ll find much to appreciate.
If you’ve finished watching all eight episodes, you might have recognized a well-known voice belonging to VP Baines. Interestingly, this actor is renowned for being one of the best voice artists in history.
Kevin Conroy is part of the Devil May Cry anime cast
In the series, Kevin Conroy lends his voice to the newly introduced character, VP Baines, who turns out to be crucial to the storyline.
Known for providing the voice of Bruce Wayne in Batman: The Animated Series, the Arkham games, and numerous other DC productions, this star passed away in November 2022.
Not long after the debut of the initial teaser, Shankar clarified that Conroy had already recorded his dialogue prior to his passing, ensuring that no artificial intelligence was employed to augment or finish his post-mortem portrayal.
He had already made the recording before his passing, and no AI was involved. Mr. Conroy delivered an exceptionally subtle performance that was truly a delight and privilege to be part of.
In a tweet, Johnny Yong Bosch, who portrays both Dante and Nero in the games, expressed his privilege of collaborating with Kevin Conroy in the forthcoming DMC series.
“Batman: The Animated Series was truly groundbreaking. It revolutionized my perception of cartoons. Just to clarify, our voice recordings were done several years back – the animation process can be quite lengthy.
Who else is in the Devil May Cry cast?
Johnny Yong Bosch lends his voice to the character Dante in the Devil May Cry anime, while Conroy portrays Baines. The ensemble also features other talented voices.
- Scout Taylor-Compton as Mary/Lady
- Hoon Lee as the White Rabbit
- Chris Coppola as Enzo Ferino
- Robbie Daymond as Vergil
In an interview with GamesRadar, Bosch mentioned that although the show doesn’t follow the games exactly, many of the background stories remain consistent.
The locations for some meetings have been changed slightly to give more depth to each character, including Lady. Initially introduced in the games, she was portrayed as tough and compelling, making her an excellent character.
Initially, her character remained distinct, but as time passed and we grew more familiar, it seemed she became less unique. However, in the Netflix anime adaptation, there’s an opportunity to delve deeper into her shadows, exploring the hardships she has endured.
