Dante’s Inferno was never likely to go down as a classic. Being based on a videogame that itself has had some unfavourable comparisons made with regards better examples of the medium, this was always going to be limited in its appeal. However, if you can look past the disregard that is shown to the original source material and view it simply as a tie-in to the videogame then there is much to be said for it. Giving fans of animated horror all the staples they crave and throwing in just enough depth to allow for some much needed plot in between the carnage, it has managed to crawl away from its poor beginnings and become quite a good example of enjoyably gory anime.

The disc itself does what it can to show off this limited material to the best of its ability, with both audio and visual standards remaining fairly high throughout. The lack of extras is a little disappointing, considering how often animations on disc allow us a glimpse behind the scenes of the artistic process, but this doesn’t detract greatly considering the key areas of picture and sound are well catered for. It won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but if you like your animations dark and bloody and don’t demand too much from the plot then you may well be pleasantly surprised.
