The Tokyo Game Show that ended today brought (at least) two big anime related announcements, and this is arguably the most important of them. At the event, Capcom did more than just impress their fans with the upcoming PlayStation 3 game, Devil May Cry 4. Oh yes, a lot more! As if the DMC4 footage wasn't orgasmic enough, they also revealed that their Devil May Cry action games series will be turned into a TV anime series!



The DMC anime will start airing in 2007, and it will run for 12 episodes - the perfect format if you ask me, as it has just the right length for a booze-drenched anime session (after 6 hours of drinking you tend to lose touch with reality...). In case you're wondering who's making it, wonder no more: it's the Madhouse studio. And if you haven't so much as heard of Madhouse, seriously, you got issues. But just in case, let me refresh your memory - Chobits, Tokyo Godfathers, Monster, Ichigo 100% (aka Ichigo Pantsu)... That's right, they're no ordinaries, which is why this might just become one of the few great animes based on video games.

They even have a website in place for the Devil May Cry anime at dmc-tv.com, though I can't make anything of it. Nor does that short teaser trailer from the bottom of the page show anything of interest. Oh well, we'll just have to wait for this one.

Unfortunately, my experience with Capcom's game series has so far been limited to watching my pedo comrade play a bit of Devil May Cry 3. I was mighty impressed by what I saw, indeed, but at the same time I couldn't help notice that there were no lolies in it (not even close). Here's hoping they change that in the anime.
