"Devil May Cry Anime Opener: Limp Bizkit's Hit Song Featured"

Netflix has recently unveiled the opening trailer for the much-anticipated anime adaptation of the iconic video game series, Devil May Cry. The trailer, which promises to excite fans, features the legendary track "Rollin'" by nu-metal band Limp Bizkit, setting the perfect tone for the dynamic scenes showcasing young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit. The trailer is rich with nods to the original games, sparking enthusiasm among the franchise's followers.

Showrunner Adi Shankar has shared his ambitious vision for the series, setting it in the late '90s to early 2000s. He believes the soundtrack, which includes tracks from that era along with a reimagined game soundtrack by the synthwave duo Power Glove, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the time. Shankar also hinted at future seasons featuring different visual styles and soundtracks to reflect the diverse nature of the Devil May Cry games, suggesting that the anime is planned to extend beyond a single season.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the first season will draw from the manga "Code 1: Dante" (based on Devil May Cry 3), where a young demon hunter, Dante, delves into the mystery of a missing child. This investigation leads him to confront his past, his family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.

The first season of the Devil May Cry anime will comprise 8 episodes and is scheduled to premiere on April 3, 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting this blend of nostalgia and new storytelling that promises to bring the beloved game series to life in a fresh and exciting way.
