In the anime _Devil May Cry_ , in one episode, Trish and Lady encounter one
another and both already know Dante (who has to stop them from killing one
another).

Trish first met Dante in Devil May Cry and Lady in Devil May Cry 3. In Devil
May Cry 4, both seem to be in it from what I have read, but neither appear in
Devil May Cry 2 before Dante is trapped in the Demon World.

So I am wondering, when does the Devil May Cry anime occur with respect to the
timeline of the series?

question
devil-may-cry
Where does Devil May Cry fit in?


The basic answer is "it doesn't" - the anime was not canon to the games. The
games' timeline is:

3: Dante is young, hasn't started his agency yet, we meet Virgil as a human
(well, half human), he meets Lady.

1: Dante meets Trish and we learn Virgil became Nelo Angelo.

4: Both Lady and Trish are in this.

2: Dante becomes trapped in the underworld and we never learn what happened
after because they did a stupid reboot instead of a sequel for DMC 5. These
events are not mentioned in other games so it is the final game in the
timeline. There are no official canon works that make reference to what
happened after.

In the anime he knows both Lady and Trish so it is set after 3 and 1 and
before 2. It could be before or after 4 but I would guess before since the
anime was made before the game however there's no real answer because, as I
said, the anime is not canon to the games.

I don't have links or anything because this is just from my memory - I owned
all games (sold my copy of DMC 5) including the DMC 3 Special Edition (where
you get to play through Virgil's story), two novels, and have the whole anime
on my hard drive and have watched all episodes at least twice.

In Devil May Cry 5 there is a summary of event which encompasses the anime
into the timeline called "History of DMC". according to it the anime happen
right after 1 before 2.

Morrison is still the DMC agent as in the anime and Patty is 18 as of DMC 5.
