For th very first time? Highly depends on your experience with action games.
DMC1 about 5-6 hours.
DMC2 about 4-5 hours (not counting lucia)
DMC3 about 6-8 hours.
DMC4 about 7-9 hours (but it's not in this collection).

Don't expect a lot from it though. It's not focused on action and instead delves into Dante's everyday life, all the issues he can't solve through brute violence and his interactions with the cast.
The overarching plot is absolute garbage but the self contained stories in each episode range from pretty great to decent.

There’s going to be a new anime series but we don’t know if it will be canon. Although it will probably be better since it’s by the Castlevania writers.

Yesterday I watched a stream of a guy who spent 6 hours to get to 1st fight with Vergil and beat him. Didn't saw the whole stream, but thats what he said. Also he was amazed by the difficulty of dmc3 becasue he finished all souls games.

Tbh, just play whatever you find enjoyable. You can try dmc 2 if you want, though I don't know if you would really want to play through that game after a few missions.

It should be noted that all the games expect multiple playthroughs. It's annoying how 1 forces you into higher difficulties, but the rewards for multiple completions and the simple New Game+ satisfaction of going back with all the upgrades and powerups you didn't have last time and completely curbstomping the bosses that gave you so much grief the first time makes it all very worth it.
