The Theme to this story is very similar to the novel “Between Shadow & Light” by L.L Brunk. The film is exciting and has a decent story, but it’s not exactly Dante’s story. The depth of the Devil’s character is nothing like Dante’s interpretation of the Devil, but more like the Devil from “Between Shadow & Light.
The movie is good on it’s own but it’s not the classic “Dante’s Inferno.”

Dante’s Inferno is an incredible animated film! One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in a very long time, and I watch a lot! Especially anime, been watching it since I was little. Be careful though, I have kids, and I wouldn’t let any kid under 12 watch this!!
This is a beautiful film to behold, with amazing animation and a story that is exciting, moving and deeply layered. A knight searches for the soul of the woman he loves… and what we perceive as a hero at first, changes til we realize Dante is really a bad person, not the hero we think from the begining.
Everyone should check this out. It’s really good for an animated film!! One of the best I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m not even a big video game fan!! Warning: It does have lots of gore and nudity. Adults only. I don’t usually watch gory stuff, but I really liked this.
Dante’s Inferno is also made me think. About evil, morality, the nature of god, all that stuff. It is thoughtful and smart, with a story that makes sense. A lot of the animes you watch make no sense whats so ever, but this made perfect sense all the way through. There was a bit too much fighting, and it seemed to move a bit too breakneck fast for me. But I was watching every moment in anticipation.
This film is interesting because it’s all about point of view. Dante is in his own hell. Beatrice is in her hell, and even the devil has a point of view here. He feels betrayed by God. He thinks god is the true evil, because it made him, then punished the devil… but God made evil knowing it would rebel. It made me think quite a bit, which rarely anything does.
An AWESOME film! A bit gory for my tastes, but it was very moving, exciting, and just plain COOL!!!
