Okay that is hilarious.  Very much era-appropriate!

Well, sheesh, picking Rollin' of all the possible things for the series opening theme never ever passed on my bingo card. Though indeed - it feels so damn late 00's that it actually works.

This kind of works considering both the time frame the game comes from, and the fact that Dante is exactly the kind of dork who would listen to Limp Bizkit as fight music. So yes, bring in Undertaker’s entrance music as the opening.

Oh wow, 2000's vibe coming from here. I'm kind of surprised they didn't throw in any homage to the 2007 anime series given that came out in the same decade. If you're trying to evoke the 2000's decade vibe, then throw in an homage to the 2007 anime series.

Aside from hoping this is good, my big hope is that it's leading towards a Devil May Cry 6 reveal. 5 did well, was very positively received, and felt like sort of a fresh start for the series as much as a continuation. But, Capcom has also not said anything about a sequel and Special Edition rerelease in 2020.

DMC has a super crappy mobile gacha game going strong atm.

As a big DMC fan I am beyond hype for this!

The visuals are great and honestly the song works surprisingly well.
Also is that Lady? I guess they're toning down her outfit.

In fairness, this is, to my knowledge, a Western production for Netflix and they're just calling it an anime. So can't say I'm shocked.
On another note, I seem to be the only one who dislikes this opening. Song isn't good, doesn't feel very DMC to me, and the visuals of the opening don't even sync to the music. The opening to the 2007 series was much better.

Netflix will call anything animated, anime as a marketing term to attract more potential clients.

They know “cartoon” to most people means either kids show or Family Guy. Hence the use, some would say abuse of anime as a description.

There is. Blink and you'll miss it but there's a strawberry sundae shown in the OP.

Yeah, I just got chance to re-watch the OP, and also it's been a long time since I watched the 2007 anime series, so I forgot about the sundae. So yeah, that's my mistake, whoops.
But I'm kind of surprised that Shankar didn't bother to get Madhouse Studio (the studio that did the 2007 anime) to work on the Netflix series in the same way both Fullmetal Alchemist anime got done by Bones Studio, it would've been nice to get Madhouse (and probably the same animation team that worked on the 2007 anime) to work on the Netflix's animated series as a fanservice.
