Review of Devilman: Crybaby

This anime was truly a trip in every sense of the word. The range of emotions this show is able to pack in with only 10 episodes was honestly refreshing. There were some parts that were genuinely laugh out loud hilarious. My score: Animation: 2/2 Characters: 2/2 Story: 3/3 Enjoyment: 3/3 Overall: 10/10 The animation was honestly so perfect for the atmosphere. So many shots of this were wall paper worthy. The characters emotions were also highlighted really well through their facial expression, to the point where it was unsettling how realistic they were.The characters have an astounding amount of depth for a 10-episode show. The story was a bit confusing at times, but when the ending hit and it all came together the journey felt a bit more clear.

If there is one thing I suggest, it's watching this show with a trusted friend. It was honestly so much fun laughing together, being confused together, and crying together. There was never a part of this story where I felt uninterested, every part felt more interesting than the last.

This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Some people are going to find parts distasteful instead of funny, or maybe won't like the animation because it's unsettling. Some might not get invested in the characters or the overall story. The best thing to do before committing to the whole thing is watching the first episode. If you hate it, then it's definitely not for you. This is not one to use the three-episode rule on.

Overall, give it a shot and you'll know if it's for you. This anime's execution felt very consistent and enjoyable, and I'm excited to consume more Devilman media.
