Video: Devil May Cry anime's opener feature Limp Bizkit's banger

Netflix Unveils Devil May Cry Anime Opening Trailer, Promises Diverse Future Seasons

Netflix recently dropped the opening trailer for its upcoming Devil May Cry anime adaptation, shortly after announcing its April 3rd, 2025 premiere date. The trailer, set to Limp Bizkit's iconic "Rollin'," 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 series, highlighting the deliberate choice of a late 90s/early 2000s setting and soundtrack. He explained that the Limp Bizkit track perfectly encapsulates the era's spirit, and the series will feature other period-appropriate music, including a synthwave remix of the game's soundtrack by Power Glove.

Shankar further hinted at the anime's long-term prospects, stating that future seasons will boast unique visual styles and soundtracks to mirror the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games. This subtly confirms plans for multiple seasons beyond the initial eight-episode run.

While plot specifics remain under wraps, the first season is anticipated to draw inspiration from the Devil May Cry 3 manga, Code 1: Dante. The story centers on a young Dante investigating a child's disappearance, forcing him to confront his past, family ties, and the legacy of his demonic father, Sparda.
