Review of Devilman: Crybaby

The Devilman Get's His Due I'd like to start this off by applauding Netflix for its efforts to embrace this artform and put so much faith and effort into a pretty on-point adaptation of both a classic and potentially very controversial manga. Devilman has inspired so many great stories in anime and to see such a massive mainstream company do its story some legitimate justice gives me great hope for the future of the potential production quality of anime. The animation as a whole in this show is absolutely fantastic with crazy psychedelic headtrips, heavy metal monster mashing action scenes and a whole lot more, evenif the Devilman run animation is a bit laughable looking. The shock value of the original story shines through and Netflix even implements a few improvements to some of the drama of the major demonic death matches by adding some connection to the titular character.

The Crybaby title is not taken lightly however and can become a bit melodramatic at times and the last two episodes seemed somewhat jumbled and rushed but the show was totally entertaining and well worth the watch overall. Devilman: Crybaby gets a 9 out of 10 from me.
