Wow, where to start. Considering that the cartoon is based on the EA video game, I didn't go into the viewing expecting a strict adherence to the initial influence, Dante Alighieri's 14th century epic poem Inferno, but I was sort of hoping for the general story to crop into the plot. I suppose in a way it does, at least in the barest conceptual terms. Reading the back of the case I saw that the story follows a character named Dante, a knight back from the crusades, who follows his betrothed, Beatrice, … more

Anime lovers will probably enjoy this Dante's Inferno, especially those who like the more adult theme film.

Pros: The occasional creative design Cons: It's based on a video game! From Electronic Arts, of anyone! The Bottom Line: How am I giving out so many one-star ratings lately? The Electronic Arts logo which appears in the opening credits didn't leave me brimming with a sense of hope. Understand that as a reviewer who is known primarily for his work in the games section, I was already aware of the fact that a video game based on … more
