If you’ve already sped through Dante’s demon-slaying adventures and need more stories filled with blood-soaked battles, dark powers, and intriguing antiheroes, these animated series are right up your alley. Whether you’re into vampires, cybernetic uprisings, or mythological brawls, there’s something here to keep the adrenaline going.
10Jujutsu Kaisen
Curses, bloodshed, and reckless sorcerers all come together in Jujutsu Kaisen, where Yuji Itadori inherits power he never asked for and gets thrown into a brutal war between sorcerers and spirits. Taken in by a secretive group of sorcerers, Yuji is sentenced to die once he’s consumed all of Sukuna’s fingers. Until then, he’s a living time bomb on the front lines of a war against curses.
9Gungrave
Brandon Heat is betrayed, murdered, and brought back from the dead to hunt down the syndicate that destroyed his life. As Beyond the Grave, he carves a path through a world of corruption and loyalty losing its meaning. Gungrave trades quips for intensity, but the balance of gunplay, supernatural themes, and bitter loyalty makes it a natural match for fans who enjoy the darker side of DMC.
8Blood of Zeus
Zeus’ illegitimate son is caught between divine war and mortal survival in a world where monsters roam freely. Blood of Zeus gives us mythological fight scenes, and a reluctant hero caught in the storm. It’s a nice choice for anyone who likes their demon hunting sprinkled with a side of tragedy and power struggles.
7Trigun: Stampede
Vash the Stampede is a wanted man with a haunted past that won’t let him rest, walking a fine line between pacifism and necessary violence. Stampede gives the classic gunslinger a modern edge, with gorgeous animation and a slower, sadder burn that still ends in heavy firepower.
6 Arcane
The fractured relationship between sisters Vi and Jinx anchors a story of revolution, science, and power in the twin cities of Piltover and Zaun. While it leans more into emotional trauma than supernatural battles, Arcane gives us deeply personal conflict, insane visuals, and moments of absolute violence that fans of Dante’s inner turmoil will be down for. With haunting characters and jaw-dropping animation, it earns its place here.
5Devilman Crybaby
Akira Fudo’s transformation into Devilman is a descent into madness, identity, and loss. This series doesn’t glamorize violence or make it pretty. It just lets it rot. The visual style is hypnotizing and doesn’t shy away from horror. It’s also a lot more existential than Devil May Cry, but the battle against inner demons is just as literal.
4Hellsing Ultimate
Alucard is not just a vampire, he’s also a force of destruction, and he enjoys every second of it. Hellsing Ultimate pits him against armies of the undead and fanatical cults in a ballet of bullets and blood. Our lead matches Dante’s confidence down to the same smirk and shot for shot, both literally and figuratively.
3Invincible
Being born into greatness doesn’t mean you’re ready for it. Invincible follows Mark Grayson as he uncovers the terrifying truth about his powers and heritage. The series hits hard with its emotional weight and unflinching gore, offering the same intensity and unraveling identity that defines Dante’s world.
2Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
In Night City, survival means sacrificing your humanity, and David Martinez does exactly that. David dives headfirst into a world of body mods and violence, trying to outrun his fate in the chaos of Night City. David’s journey mirrors Dante’s where they share the raw, rebellious energy, swapping demons for cybernetics and keeping the heartbreak just as hurtful.
1Castlevania: Nocturne
Richter Belmont carries the weight of a legendary bloodline as he battles vampires in the shadow of revolution-era France. Castlevania: Nocturne gives us a mixture of brutal action with a heavy atmosphere, making it an ideal follow-up for fans who crave monster-slaying with a side of legacy and doom.
