I guess this is the closest to a KISS anime as we will ever get. Rolling Eyes

I wonder if Gene Simmons will lend his voice for the dub? Rolling Eyes

This is gonna be brutal. Too bad the make-up looks more like Kiss and less like the regular corpse stuff black/death metal bands do =/

Brootal..but only if they actually metal this soundtrack up. No Visual Kei crap, we're talkin Howling Bull and Ritual Records regulars! Maybe Pizza of Death too though that's more a hardcore label.

Cromartie's KISS parody looks funnier, but maybe I'll check it out, if they ever release it here.

I wonder if he'll sue them like he tried to sue King Diamond a few years back. Confused

I've heard about this series and I've been looking for it but to no avail. But, cool that there'll be an anime treatment.

Well this is the best news of the day....of the month even !
DMC is one of my favorite manga .
like v1cious said , it's the Comedic version of beck .
I was hoping for an anime so they could re-do the character design of the manga which is horrible the same way the Beck manga character design is( compared to it's anime ) .

Yeah, there needs to be a battle of the bands between these guys and Metapocalypse's Deathklok.

I saw this on display in a bookstore while on vacation in Japan. It was.. interesting to see.

Death metal bands don't wear corpse paint.

What did he sue King D for?

He said King's face paint resembled his. Apparently he's suing some movie for the same reason. Gene Simmons is one litigious MoFo.
