"...That's a f***ing frog." ~ Cody Rhodes... I guess?

Drew up Bullfrog from "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix" as a warm up today, complete in the iconic "Assassin's Creed II" box art pose! Genuinely, I felt he was the best character in the show, and I actually really dug the whole cast at that. If you're into adult animation and are looking for something that both doesn't take itself seriously and delivers on a plot and animation scale, while standing alone from its source material of Ubisoft's back catalogue of games? Look no further than Laserhawk. Ubisoft actually did good here!

Also, Rayman did no wrong. If you know, you know and that's all I'm keeping it to~

DEVIL MAY CRY

Adi Shankar and Studio Mir

#Finally revealed #Devil May Cry #Capcom #Adi Shankar #Studio Mir #Netflix

[prototypelq]

So, I stumbled upon a video about Adi Shankar today (that's the netflix anime exec and showrunner), and I...now feel much, much more positive about the whole thing!

What I've learned, is that Adi is basically El Donte with Vergil-drank-a-whole-Monster levels of hype&energy&perfectionism in tv series industry. The guy is clinically unhinged and deranged, which I think could fit the DMC anime tone nicely.

He has been making gaming adaptations for a long time now, and his works all come from a genuine love and care for the source material, enhanced with a special Adi TM take on the whole thing. Sadly, I've just learned of his other works, so not exactly best source for this kind of thing, but I got the feeling the guy likes to gore and darken up the source, spice it up with self-irony, and sew everything to skeleton made out of pure-geek love and obsession over the original.

He had a sort of El Donte arc in the industry, as the guy liked to come in shattering doors and expectations of 'normal' executives and investors, but he seems to have matured a little to start combining the best of fan-love and big investor money into amazing and unique works of art. He is most known for working on Castlevania series, but personally the show I learned about (and was sold on to give a watch) is Captain Laserhawk.

Captain Laserhawk is Ubisoft doing a RARE INDEED creative take on their stuff, basically they gave Adi creative freedom over every franchise Ubisoft has ever owed, and a result of that was a.... an adult show which roasts the ever-living hell out of Ubisoft, their practices and everything, with Rayman doing news-anchoring, drugs and then having an existential crisis? Oh, and also for animation he specifically commissioned a studio known for the...furry carnal desire series they uploaded to their own page.

The most bizarre thing is that Adi said he had a Ubi-lawyer follow him to every meeting to confirm that, yes, Ubisoft gave a green light to all of this.

So, uh, yeah gotta give Captain Laserhawk a watch, I wanna see Ubisoft roasted.

Mind you, Captain Laserhawk was Adi given a free-out-of-jail card on going unhinged, so he did not disappoint. His Castlevania show seems to have been loved by all fans, and seems to be much more tone-according to the series, as far as I can tell. At least, I've heard nothing but praise for that series. Also, knowing japanese studios, I think Capcom was keeping a close watch over everything, still, if Adi's previous work is to go by, then this anime is sure going to be

C R R R A Z Y

Adi claimed to have played all the DMC titles, so he knows his source, and I now believe that those manga in the latest anime preview weren't for show either. We also know the father of the series, Hideaki Itsuno, oversaw the anime production to some extent, so I'm sure it's going to tonally fit DMC. I also wouldn't mind a darker take on this series at all. The anime would be the perfect form to do that, too, as DMC is a world where demon incursions are a frequent occurrence, this HAS to affect the people of this setting somehow. The games can't really tap too much into that either, cause the gameplay of this series is 'bully your opponent back into hell' basically, these games are f u n, and you can't really have fun gameplay and a depressing story, the tone clash wouldn't really work.

DMC5 tried, but it is still mostly a very fun experience, the tragedy of the Qlipoth attack is highlighted only in the beginning, and the game even ends with Nero brightly lit and looking around the ruins, which works for him as a character, but the human tragedy that happened has already been forgotten by that point.

This is not a critique, I wouldn't have DMC any other way, but I DO want additional material that brings the setting down when we exit the 'sparda idiots' radius, and I feel like with Adi at the helm that's exactly what we might get with the anime. Oh, he also claimed to have been working on the anime all this time since 2018, and with his drive and obsession over every project I feel like Adi is not exaggerating, the production of that size and obsession could have very well taken over five years in the oven.

So yeah, I am now feeling much more excited for the whole thing. That's a very nice feeling)

#i also have a small suspicion aroace dante gang should keep their shields up... might be exaggerating though #adi shankar #what a KING this guy is im very impressed #gotta watch something of his #also hoping that he includes lady #you can't do her dirtier than capcom basically any direction they take her will be better than the nothing we currently have #free reminder for everyone to take a chill pill before release and meditate on open mindedness me very much included #sadly the video I saw is in ru and I haven't found much on adi in eng but this guy is easy to get a feel of basically watch any #brief interview with him or smth and you'll get where this post is coming from #dmc anime #dmc #devil may cry netflix #devil may cry #pls feel free to point out any typos I wrote this in one go

[but-a-humble-goon]

Much as I thought Castlevania was alright I'm sorta nervous about Adi Shankar directing that Devil May Cry anime. Not that I don't think he can do a good job or that a Devil May Cry anime isn't an awesome idea but it's just that I hope the people at Netflix didn't give him this project because he made Castlevania under the impression that he can just do to this classic videogame series what he did to that one. Devil May Cry is not Castlevania. If Netflix is hoping for their next critical darling epic grim and gritty dark fantasy saga then they have woefully miscalculated. It's why it actually filled me with confidence that the teaser they dropped consisted entirely of Dante backflipping around firing guns and yelling "woohoo" set to some butt rock. Congratulations, you broke DMC down to its bare essentials.

Netflix Drop has finally revealed Capcom's and Adi Shankar's Devil May Cry anime.

Decided to link the Wikia as it manages to summarize the history of the development.

Personally, I think many of us, especially on the reboot side of fandom, had always known it was gonna be the og timeline that they're adapting/influenced from.

The trailer that they showed was around 45 secs, with literally 5 seconds of just their new adaptation of the og Dante.

What do we think?

Why you should watch

created by Adi Shankar, showrunner and exec producer of BOTH Castlevania series on Netflix. you can tell a lot of love went into this, the creators were having so much fun

basically a universe of Ubisoft IPs

adult animated series with intriguing storylines, dynamic artstyle, amazing animation, a killer soundtrack and super cool characters

QUEER INDIAN DISABLED PROTAGONIST, DOLPH LASERHAWK IS SO COOL

multimedia style storytelling

Rayman goes postal. Yes, THAT Rayman.

classic sci-fi themes of standing up to your tyrannical technocracy

Suicide Squad vibes; criminals pulling heists for a secret organization (THE GOOD SUICIDE SQUAD, NOT THE JARED LETO ONE)

but it grows into so much more as the show continues

Over-the-top anime-inspired style balanced out with emotional and so very real voice-acting

Seriously, Rayman's voice-actor deserves awards for this performance

there's this frog. his name is Bullfrog. he's French. he's part of the Assassin Brotherhood. you will LOVE HIM.

the end is CRAZY, it will take you out at the KNEES

BUT it leaves you on a cliffhanger, CLEARLY setting up for season 2

and I need that season 2 so how bout it, give Captain Laserhawk a try. It's six episodes, you'll only lose like half a day on it.

Have you heard about the dmc anime!?

Yes I have! ^_^ I dig Dante's new design where it's pretty much a combination of every version of him to date. Last thing I heard, it's supposed to be a bootleg multiverse, meaning that it's taking place in a parallel universe in a way. Just like what they did in their Castlevania Netflix anime series. But because it's been 5+ years since their last update about it, and how Hideaki Itsuno is now supervising what's happening with it, things probably changed to where it could now tie with the original story plot. People are theorizing that we may get another take on Dante's Tony Redgrave arc due to the way Dante's pistols, amulet, and hair style look.

But for now, I'm sticking with their original concept of it being a bootleg multiverse until they say otherwise. It's too bad that Reuben won't be voicing as Dante, but I have my curiosities and am looking forward to more updates about it, including its release announcement.

I don’t think the world wanted or needed a modern day version of Captain N: The Game Master, but the Assassin frog has me morbidly curious.
