Review of Devilman: Crybaby

If you're looking for a review from someone more reliable I recommend watching these, they sorta all summarise my points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmUZs8ptF00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQQYD0Ia5fA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6RpjChreTE I went into Devilman Crybaby knowing absolutely nothing about it except that it's apparently quite good (of so what I heard among the grapevines). It exceeded all my expectations and was frankly, brilliant. The story was great, I've seen some reviews saying that the story was awful, it didn't make any sense, was so bad etc. But me personally I didn't see anything wrong with it. I thought the story made sense and everything strung together nicely. I found the premise really interesting and thought theexecution was really well done. I saw a review say that the anime "rely so heavily on sex and gore" and I disagree. I think sometimes we are not use to seeing such heavy sex and gore in anime (especially mainstream and popular series). I certainly didn't see it coming myself and personally didn't have any problems with it probably because I'm use to that kinda thing, but I thought that the sex and gore didn't take away from the story much.

I loved the art style and found some scenes really beautiful. The soundtrack was dope (I added a few of the songs to my playlist already). Again from the same review I mentioned earlier, they said that the English dialogue was cringey and unnecessary. I personally thought the English dialogue was fine and it was refreshing to see that they didn't just speak in Japanese when they were meant to be speaking English and merely translate it.
Characters were interesting and fun to watch. They were complex and I really felt myself becoming attached to and becoming invested in them.

I know that Devilman Crybaby might be a slap in the face for some people who are not used to how should I say "strange" anime but I say to just give it a shot. It's short, only 10 episodes long, it's a completely unique experience and I applaud it greatly.

Enjoy your watching :)
