Netflix has developed a reputation for producing successful video game anime adaptations, starting with Castlevania and including works like Arcane and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The latest addition to this lineup is the upcoming Devil May Cry anime, set to release on April 3. Teased with an opening credit sequence featuring Limp Bizkit's "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)", the choice of nu metal song reflects nostalgia and a playful tone in line with the video games. Despite criticisms of the genre, its cultural significance from the late '90s and early 2000s is acknowledged in shaping entertainment today.
In recent years, Netflix has successfully established itself as the go-to platform for video game anime adaptations, starting with notable entries like Castlevania and Arcane.
The adaptation of Devil May Cry is set for release on April 3, marrying a nostalgic video game franchise with a nu metal soundtrack, specifically featuring Limp Bizkit’s "Rollin'".
While nu metal is often dismissed as a musical genre, its significance in the late '90s and early 2000s cannot be overlooked, influencing the cultural landscape.
Choosing "Rollin'" for the Devil May Cry adaptation seems to capture the cheeky essence of the games, even if the song itself is controversial in quality.
