Limp Bizkit's Hit featured in New Devil May Cry Anime Opening

Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Hints at Multi-Season Arc

Following the announcement of the Devil May Cry anime's premiere date, Netflix dropped the series' electrifying opening trailer. Set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," the trailer showcases dynamic action sequences featuring a young Dante, Lady, and the enigmatic White Rabbit, peppered with nods to the game franchise.

Showrunner Adi Shankar elaborated on his vision for the anime's future. The series, set in the late 90s and early 2000s, utilizes a soundtrack reflecting the era's spirit, featuring Limp Bizkit and other contemporary artists. A reimagined synthwave soundtrack from the games, courtesy of Power Glove, is also incorporated.

Shankar further indicated that subsequent seasons will boast distinct visual styles and soundtracks, highlighting the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry game series. This subtly confirms the anime's planned continuation beyond a single season.

Plot specifics remain under wraps. However, the first season is anticipated to adapt elements from the Code 1: Dante manga (based on Devil May Cry 3), focusing on a young Dante's investigation into a child's disappearance. This compels him to confront his past, family, and his demonic father Sparda's legacy.

The eight-episode first season is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025.
