Using the term "anime" to refer to some specific and superficial traits of the medium is something I see very often, and is something that particularly bothers me as a fan of it. But as long as you're aware that there's more to it, then ok. I was actually surprised to see you do it, given how Ni no Kuni is in your signature...
I did understand what you meant, disagreements aside. In any case, I don't see how the previous changes in the series justify everything that has been introduced by Ninja Theory here. I don't agree with the idea of reboots in general, but if you're going to do it, what's the point of changing everything to beyond recognition ? As a fan of the old Mortal Kombat games, I can still perfectly recognize the characters/settings in the reboot, even though I don't really care for the game itself. That's a reboot done right to me. One that resets the universe/story without changing its fundamental traits, either from its themes or its characters. But alas, nothing that hasn't been mentioned before...
It's worth mentioning here that I actually do enjoy "over the top" stuff, more often than not. And the 3rd game was the one that got me into the series.

I think pretty much anyone that has been following the game for one reason or another has already heard of that... And of course, you can even pay Capcom for the privilege of dressing this Dante as the classic one, if you desire. But the thing is, you can put a tuxedo on a goat, but it's still a goat...
I can't speak about how this Dante grows as a character in the game because I haven't seen enough of it, but I do know that even if it does get closer to the old one at the end, it wouldn't be enough. Not only would you have to endure this "immature" Dante for most, if not the whole game, but you also have to accept all the other changes that many people dislike of the story, setting, aesthetics and rest of the characters. I for one don't like the idea of turning this fantasy series into yet another "conspiracy theory" story about the media/goverment and fighting real-life parodies as some shallow form of "social commentary", nor do I appreciate the "gritty" look and everything I've seen about the dialogue/cutscenes. At this point, I'm quite sure I wouldn't like this game even if it was called something other than "Devil May Cry".
Honestly, the only thing I could praise about the game from everything I've seen is some of its use of colors and backgrounds. Can't think of anything else.
