Netflix dropped a new look at its upcoming animated series based on Devil May Cry on Thursday, revealing the opening credits for Adi Shankar and Studio Mirs anime adaptation of the Capcom franchise. In a surprise, bold, and incredibly fitting choice, the Devil May Cry anime will open with Limp Bizkits Rollin, the breakout single from the nu metal bands 2000 album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.The original Devil May Cry and Limp Bizkits third album were both products of the early 2000s so while DMC purists might argue that the series original music should be featured, I simply cannot argue that Rollin is anything but an inspired, era-appropriate choice.In addition to a new look at Devil May Cry, Netflix also announced Thursday that the series will start streaming on April 3. At one point, Devil May Cry was planned for 2024, so its nice to see it finally have a firm release date.Executive produced by Adi Shankar (Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk) and written by Alex Larsen (Yasuke), the Devil May Cry anime will span eight episodes. The series will focus on a younger Dante, and is inspired by the 2005 franchise prequelDevil May Cry 3: Dantes Awakening. Animation company Studio Mir is known for its previous work on such shows asThe Legend of Korra,The Boondocks,Young Justice, andHarley Quinn.NetflixsDevil May Cryanime is based on Capcoms 23-year-old action franchise of the same name, which was created by game designer Hideki Kamiya, who recently announced his return to the Okami franchise. Its been more than five years since we got a new Devil May Cry video game;Devil May Cry 5was the most recent, and hopefully not the last.
