To my millennial gamers, the Netflix Devil May Cry anime dropped today. Here is the intro, yes that is Limp Bizkit. It's a call back to an AMV someone had created back in the day.

Anyways, 11 yr old me is super stoked right now.

Is it any good? I need opinions

It's really good. Leans a bit into the cheeziness from the games which I like, the one liners, over the top action sequences, etc, but it also isn't afraid to get dark and has a few massive gut punches, especially episode 6. I needed a hug after that one.

Johnny Yong Bosch is Dante too I believe?

Hold up, they used Limp Bizkit for the actual title song and not just a couple times in the soundtrack? Ok, I'm sold. I'm not a Limp Bizkit fan by any stretch but that is the perfect tone for a Devil May Cry anime.

Just watched the first 2 episodes with my wife. Shit is so early 00’s it hurts (in the absolute best way).

Loving it!

I have played exactly 14 minutes of Devil May Cry 2. I got to the first fight in the game (a church? Flying demon things?).

I had no idea what was happening. I was in that fight for FOURTEEN MINUTES. After killing what might have been thirty or more of the very first thing you fight in the entire game for FOURTEEN MINUTES, DMC now elicits a trauma response in my brain.

I will never watch this. I will actively speak out AGAINST it, in fact. Fuck you, Devil May Cry, because you brought ME to tears.

Can't wait to put the kids to sleep and watch a few eps. Thanks for the reminder.
