Devilman Crybaby

Let me tell you, I was not expecting it to get that crazy. I initially found this anime through a social media platform, and honestly started watching it without knowing absolutely anything. The first episode was quite unexpected and I wasn't sure why some things happened and was slightly confused. Then I dropped it for a bit because it wasn't exactly going as fast as I wanted it to and the plot wasn't that intriguing. However, after a couple of episodes everything got so much more intense and I felt every single bit of it. I really love how this anime shed light on very human aspects of life and the true nature of humans, it offered a wonderful perspective and got me to ponder about a lot of things. Would highly recommend this is you don't mind all the gore, sexual actions and just want to think about life while also feeling every emotion in this insane rollercoaster.

Devilman embodied everything anime was about when I was younger. Fantastic animation, brutal, shocking blood gore, and simple disdain for taboo.

If you are familiar with Devilman, you will appreciate the throwbacks and wall breaking references, and reworked scenes from the past, however, if you have not read the original manga, the themes that follow in Devilman Crybaby are actually a mix of the original anime with the manga (which varied a bit), consolidating the story in glorious fashion.

Devilman Crybaby is packed with symbolism, scenes that are funny and real, the relationships are believable, the animation style works fantastically, while the OST is outright jaw dropping. Even if you aren't a fan of anime, you should should give Devilman Crybaby a chance, especially as Netflix has done a fantastic job creating a high quality English dub so it doesn't sound like a corny kids TV show. A perfect example of what anime is really about. (Hint. its a scarily realistic reflection of mankind and our strained relationships.)

Yeah, first and second episode may seems illogical but in the end they explained it well, the ending is good.

Art, characters, sound everything is great.

While not entirely faithful to the source material, I think Masaaki Yuasa captured perfectly well its themes and essence, particularly its blatant anti-war themes, as well its overall disturbing bleakness.

A very effective horror tragedy anime series.

As I long time fan of devilman i was highly surprised that Netflix was making a total new anime of the master piece created by Go Nagai decades ago. I tought that maybe we would see a censored version of this horror and adult anime, but God, i was wrong. This is one the best anime that i´ve seen in my life. The gore, the sex, the violence is all there. But this anime goes even further. Explores subjects as drugs, the good and bad side of every single human, fate, religion, friendship and love. The animation and the music is also superb. The Ost is so good that you´ll found yourself listening the songs again and again. Maasaki Yuasa, thanks for Making Akira Fudo fights evil once more!
