Netflix has recently unveiled the opening trailer for the much-anticipated anime adaptation of *Devil May Cry*, set to premiere on April 3, 2025. The trailer, featuring the iconic nu-metal track "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit, showcases dynamic scenes with young Dante, Lady, and White Rabbit, all peppered with nods to the beloved video game series.
Adi Shankar, the showrunner, has shared his ambitious vision for the series. Set in the late 90s to early 2000s, the soundtrack perfectly captures the essence of that era. Alongside Limp Bizkit, viewers can expect other iconic tracks from the time, as well as a reimagined game soundtrack by the synthwave duo Power Glove. Shankar also hinted at a varied visual style and soundtrack in future seasons, reflecting the diversity of the games, suggesting that the series will extend beyond its initial season.
While plot details remain under wraps, the first season is slated to be inspired by the manga *Code 1: Dante* (Devil May Cry 3). It will follow a young demon hunter as he delves into the mystery of a missing child, confronting his past, his family, and the legacy of his demon father, Sparda.
The first season will comprise 8 episodes, promising an engaging start to this exciting anime adaptation.
