Review of Devilman: Crybaby

Since there's a lot of reviews and the review with the score of 1 reviews it perfectly (in my opinion), I'll just straight up say what I think of it. DUMB. It's so dumb. I really had high expectations for this anime. I knew the VAs were Murase Ayumu and Uchiyama Kouki who are two of my favorite seiyuus so I knew there would be great voice acting. That also encouraged me to watch it. But, from the first episode, I saw that the rating was 18+ and hoped there wouldn't be nudity, but I was so so wrong and I even watched this on TV.That really made me want to drop it as soon as possible. But, I kept reading comments saying it had a really sad ending so I got curious and pushed through the last episode. It was really, really disappointing and dumb as hell. Like, it wasn't explained properly from the beginning why (minor spoiler) Ryo made Akira a devilman. And they just went with it like that. Nonsense. And that ending? Ryo is dumb as hell. He caused everything that happened and he starts getting sad?? lol he has no right to do that but whatever.

For the characters, they weren't presented enough for me to care about them.

In terms of art, yeah sure it's unique. It's not bad, but it's not that great, either. I just thought Miki's character design was pretty cute and Ryo is very handsome. The sexual scenes were just too much and didn't add anything to the story. It's like they placed sexual scenes every second they could. The violent scenes were funny but very exaggerated. I don't think being shot by a gun can make a large chunk of your body blow up into pieces. The art of the Satan vs Devilman scene was pretty good. It was better than other scenes but it wasn't all that great either. And there were some scenes that were SO dark I could barely see what was happening. My phone was on max brightness.

In terms of music, the OP and ED aren't special. But the visuals for OP are good. For BGM, it was alright but nothing really stood out.

Would I recommend this to anyone? No. Never. It wasn't entertaining at all, unless you get entertained from watching R-rated scenes and stupid logic.
