6 directors? So I guess this is going to be sort of a Gotham Knight kind of thing?

Cool, game looks good and I love it when there is a kind of media blitz to enhance the experience.

Despite the talent involved that looks terrible. They've turned Dante into an action hero, jesus.

Well, they have to keep with the times, if they did a 100% faithful interpretation of the story people would be complaining how much it "sucks" and how "lame" the characters are and talk about how it should be more like Bleach or Naruto plus it is a video game tie-in.

I just picked this up at Best Buy for $19.99 (BluRay). When I saw that it had contributions from both the director of the anime series Ergo Proxy as well as the creator of Kite I was sold. I guess they are doing a Animatrix type thing with 6 shorts.

So I watched this. It's a continuous storyline that switches between different directors/animation styles as the story progresses (6 changes) That is kind of neat....so when Dante reaches a certain circle in hell all of a sudden he has long hair and is skinny like the characters in Aoen Flux,etc.. I didn't mind these switches in style.
It was very violet and the quality is very clean, however and constant screaming of Dante for his beloved Beatrice got really tiresome.

Plus it is video game morality. Dante is a prick. You see flashbacks of what he has done, and these acts are unforgivable. What I get out of the plot is that by killing shitloads of monsters through hell to get his girl back is a way to cleanse him of his sins? So, if she wasn't killed would he have any remorse at all? Being willing to slice monsters to be reunited with your loved one shows dedication but not remorse.

Oh well....we get to see a guy slicing his way through hell to get his babe.
