Netflix's 'Devil May Cry' Anime Set for April 3 Release with Limp Bizkit Theme

The adaptation of Capcom's iconic video game franchise aims to capture a nostalgic early 2000s vibe under the creative vision of Adi Shankar.

The eight-episode 'Devil May Cry' anime will premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025, with animation by Studio Mir and creative direction from Adi Shankar.
The opening credits feature Limp Bizkit's 'Rollin',' reflecting Shankar's vision of a late 1990s and early 2000s aesthetic inspired by the PlayStation 2 era.
Johnny Yong Bosch, known for voicing Nero in the games, will voice Dante in this adaptation, which focuses on a younger version of the character.
The series is loosely inspired by 'Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening' and introduces new demons while paying homage to the franchise's lore and iconic elements.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the opening's visual style and music choice, but anticipation remains high for Netflix's latest video game adaptation.
