further proof more things should fall into the public domain so producers don't have to dig so deep for material.

Still doesn't beat Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.

So should I watch the Movie or read the Epic first?  It looks pretty not to weird, boring or loli grade creepy for an animated movie, like it might have a proper structured plot and not just be some cool stuff that happened.

Oh joy another Animatrix and Gotham Knight.  I'd be fine with this, if they were just doing a limited run series for people who don't want to play the game, similar to when they use to do tie in books.  But really, 6 different directors, and also the animation style changes through out, this is going to be amazingly annoying then amazingly epic.

Oh, the book is quite different from the game/anime Dragom.  While it is about a man named Dante traveling through hell, it's not about him kicking ass and taking names.

I thought the epic poem/book was called Divine Comedy...

the whole is "Divine Comedy" but the first part is Inferno.

I suppose going through Hell might be more entertaining then Purgatory or Heaven...

It is a Middle Ages Roman Catholic meditation of good, evil, politics, being Italian and similar themes. Beatrice is not the main character murdered wife, but woman he met twice when she was alive and who represents an unattainable ideal. He doesn’t plunge into hell to save her, but is guided through Hell, Purgatory and then into Heaven as a narrative method of examining Middle Age Roman Catholic thought on of good, evil, politics, being Italian and similar themes. So, the game and movie appear to be adaptations so loose they might as well be parodies.
