Devil May Cry anime adaptation might have the best opening sequence in Netflix history

Screenshot shows Dante in anime adaptation of Devil May Cry glaring with swords in the foreground.

Netflix just revealed the devilishly cool opening sequence to its Devil May Cry anime adaptation helmed by Castlevania producer Adi Shankar, set to release on April 3.

First of all, the title sequence theme song is "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit. So let's take a moment to crack an Arizona green tea and appreciate that.

Otherwise, the sequence is stocked with flickering skulls, swords, and pepperoni pizza slices choking on mozzarella – all the necessary sacrifices to conjure an image of demon hunter protagonist Dante's demonic boyhood.

The opening pairs well with the brutish Devil May Cry footage Netflix unveiled back in September. It shows protagonist Dante doing demon hunter pastimes like pulling a gun out of an oily takeout box and punching monsters in the nose.
