Limp Bizkit Rocks Devil May Cry Anime Opener

Shortly after announcing the premiere date for the anime adaptation of Devil May Cry, Netflix unveiled the series' captivating opening trailer. Accompanied by the iconic "Rollin'" track from the nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, the trailer features dynamic scenes showcasing young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit. These scenes are packed with nods to the beloved video game series, thrilling fans with familiar references.

Showrunner Adi Shankar shared his ambitious vision for the anime's future. The series is set in the late 90s to early 2000s, and Shankar believes the soundtrack perfectly captures the spirit of that era. In addition to Limp Bizkit, fans can expect other tracks from the time, alongside a reimagined game soundtrack by the synthwave duo Power Glove.

Shankar also hinted that future seasons will explore different visual styles and soundtracks to reflect the diversity of the Devil May Cry games. This approach suggests that the series is planned to extend beyond a single season, exciting fans about the long-term prospects of the anime.

While plot details remain under wraps, the first season is expected to draw from the manga Code 1: Dante (Devil May Cry 3). It follows young demon hunter Dante as he investigates a child's disappearance, leading him to confront his past, his family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.

The inaugural season will comprise 8 episodes and is slated to premiere on April 3, 2025. With its rich references to the game series and a soundtrack that evokes the era, Devil May Cry on Netflix promises to be a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.
