What to Watch After Angel

From Angel to Dante: Modern Demon‑Hunting Reimagined

If you’ve ever lingered in the shadowy alleys of Los Angeles with Angel, yearning for a fresh take on demon‑hunting drama, look no further than Netflix’s Devil May Cry. This 2025 animated series thrusts viewers into a neon‑lit battlefield where half‑human half‑demon mercenary Dante battles both otherworldly threats and a covert government agency, capturing the same noir‑infused, redemption‑driven spirit that made Angel a cult classic. While Angel’s gritty detective work anchored its storytelling, Devil May Cry amps up the action with razor‑sharp humor, political intrigue, and a visual style that feels both contemporary and unmistakably rooted in its video‑game origins.

Beyond its fresh aesthetic, Devil May Cry resonates thematically with Angel’s core motifs: the struggle between humanity and the supernatural, the weight of personal legacy, and the relentless pursuit of redemption amid chaos. For longtime fans craving a newer, animated adventure that still honors the dark fantasy and anti‑hero allure of Angel, this series offers a thrilling, high‑energy bridge between classic noir storytelling and today’s cutting‑edge animation. It’s a must‑watch for anyone who loves a good redemption arc wrapped in stylish, demon‑slaying spectacle.
