Thursday, January 30, 2025, saw Netflix\u2019s official X (formerly Twitter) account post the opening sequence for the Devil May Cry<\/em><\/strong> anime<\/strong> series, also revealing its Thursday, April 3, 2025. Unfortunately, Netflix\u2019s post offered no other information, with the only text attached to the post being the series\u2019 title, and the aforementioned April 3 release date.<\/p>\n However, the Devil May Cry<\/em> anime\u2019s exact release date and time will be on Thursday, April 3 at 12 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), which is typical for Netflix releases. While there have been exceptions to this rule, fans can count on it being the exact release date and time for the series with no other time specified as of this article\u2019s writing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n As mentioned above, the post from Netflix\u2019s official X account also seemingly reveals the Devil May Cry<\/em> anime\u2019s opening theme song as legendary nu metal band Limp Bizkit<\/a>\u2019s \u201cRollin\u2019 (Air Raid Vehicle).\u201d The song accompanies the opening sequence, is attached to the post as a video, and primarily features series protagonist Dante. Other characters are shown in the sequence, but these mainly appear to be demons or various inhuman entities Dante will be fighting.<\/p>\n However, some in the comments are arguing that Netflix may be using Limp Bizkit\u2019s song in the post to hide the real theme song. Those arguing this are pointing to the fact that the song doesn\u2019t line up with the visuals of the sequence, as well as anime openings, traditionally do. However, it\u2019s worth pointing out that the series is being helmed by professionals uninvolved in the Japanese anime industry itself, which may explain such unconventional choices.<\/p>\n Equally unconventional is the selection of Limp Bizkit\u2019s song in and of itself. While non-Japanese songs have been used for an anime series before, such as for Kaiju No. 8<\/a><\/em> season 1\u2019s opening and ending theme, the choice of a Limp Bizkit song is especially unique. This is largely in part to their nu-metal style and approach, which often blends in elements of other genres (such as rap in \u201cRollin\u2019\u201d) and can be somewhat divisive likewise.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, all currently available information points to this being the series\u2019 selection for its opening theme song<\/a> and accompanying visual sequence. Should this not actually be the case, Netflix will likely clarify beyond any doubt prior to the series\u2019 confirmed April 3, 2025 release date.<\/p>\n The series will be based on the original game franchise of the same name, created by Hideki Kamiya and developed and published by Capcom<\/a>. The series is an urban fantasy action-adventure game franchise, with six mainline entries released since 2001, one of which is a reboot.<\/p>\n Related links<\/p>\nDevil May Cry anime reveals opening theme sequence, featuring iconic song from nu metal group Limp Bizkit<\/h2>\n
