I started playing this series since the first game; and in that game Dante was not camp or wacky. He was just Dante, he wasn't anime, he wasn't camp, he didn't surf on missiles, he didn't go over the top with any camp behaviour.

Actually, Kamiya's inspiration for Dante was the main character of Cobra, a manga that was later adapted to anime...

If you think that anime is only limited to "over the top" or "wacky" stuff, you're completely wrong... You can find all sorts of stories within the medium, and certainly any kind of story that appears in a Japanese-developed game. They come from the same culture after all.

Yeah I know what you mean, like Studio Ghbili offers a completely different animation style from other forms of anime.

Its possible I didn't use the word anime correctly. I was reffering to how the character in DMC4 was very different from the original character he came from, which was also something advocated by the creator of the series. Thats a specific style of anime which is camp and wacky which is not what the original game started off with.
