Rumor: American version of Devil May Cry anime - cancelled?

Gothic Girl | January 30, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Bad news for the Devil May Cry fans who were expecting an American release of the DMC anime series. Many American anime projects have now disappeared from ADV Films' site, sparking rumours that they (including the Devil May Cry anime) have been cancelled.

The North American release of the Devil May Cry anime series may have been canceled by publisher ADV Films, according to a recent report from ICv2. The report, which indicates a broad number of domestic cancellations on ADV's part, including the Devil May Cry series, has since been pulled from the site, but is still available via Google Cache. Despite being announced in December for a February 5 release, absolutely no references to Devil May Cry currently exist on ADV Films' web site.

Huh....ah well, guess I'm gonna have to find the Japanese episodes with extremely crappy subs. Seeing as I've just watched the first 10 episodes and all...but the show does feel like it was ripped straight off Hellsing.

  Thats your opinion not fact. While i like sub titles, The English Version of Inuyasha was the best. Same for Naruto for me.

      Then you guys obviously have no understanding about animes then. Some things works better in one format to the other.

No big loss since it sucked. finalblade98 Naruto and Bleach have some of the worst dubs out there. There are numerous anime with better dubs out there.
