Castlevania showrunner Adi Shankar will return to the world of anime video game adaptations soon with the upcoming release of Devil may cry, but in a new post on X, Shankar teased that he had originally pitched a very different adaptation to video game giant Capcom. According to Shankar’s post, the acclaimed creator went to Capcom to launch a Dino Crisis anime in 2017. Instead of the long-dormant survival horror classic, Capcom gave Shankar the thumbs up to work on an anime adaptation of Devil can cry.
While it may be surprising to some that Shankar initially released Dino Crisishe clearly shows his love and respect for the franchise in his initial post. Shankar writes about how the first game is a classic survival horror title, while the second is an action masterpiece. Unfortunately, as Shankar writes, Dino Crisis 3 it was a big change that left the series dormant since 2003. Given that the franchise hasn’t been active in two decades, it’s understandable that Shankar would want to resurrect it with an anime adaptation.
