Some thoughts on the new Devil May Cry Anime...

On the one hand, I completely understand why they don't have Reuben Langdon voicing Dante in this new anime. Ignoring the problematic shit for a moment, it does make sense to use a younger sounding VA too- as much as I hate the change, I understand it.

On the other hand, choosing Johnny Yong Bosch specifically to voice him means it's literally only going to sound like Nero. I watched that trailer, immediately went "fuckin hell, why does he sound like Nero?" and then saw the comfirmation. Now JYB is an awesome VA and I am a fan of his work but he IS Nero, it just. It really doesn't feel right at all.

Could they not have picked someone else?

Now I used to be a massive fan of Reuben Langdon- Devil May Cry and his other VA, stuntwork and acting- and I can admit to still having some cognitive dissonance around Dante and Reuben in general. I wish it wasn't the case that his voice is completely synonymous with Dante to me (despite DMC1 & DMC2) but it is.

To his credit, the two conversations I've had with the guy when I disagreed with the crap he was spouting he was also pretty respectful and reasonable. Still, this was years ago and over the years since the more crap that came out I definitely lost the appreciation I had for him, I can safely say he's a talented man but I'm no longer a fan.

I suppose in terms of the whole "That's not my Dante!" side of things, if we want an anime with Reuben Langdon as Dante, well, we already have that, and it's still one of my favourites despite all the crap.

It would have been really nice to have someone new to the franchise to voice him- a fresh start for Dante that could have continued in new games and media.
