Review of Devilman: Crybaby
I can't believe i live in a timeline, where this actually happened. Some crazy exces at Netflix threw a wad of cash to Yuasa, and asked him to do whatever he wanted, and in that, managed to adapt one of the seminal mangas, that inspired most major classic. The influences of Devilman can not be understated, published in 1972, and later turned nto a water down tv anime, its been n inspiration on most modern authors. from Hideki Ano, to Miura, every one of them have been touched by this story. featuring what canonly be described as the ultimate form of violence and bleakness, it looks to give an antiwar message, second to no other work of fiction.
Watch this, and you'll understand where Ano's mind was when he made End of Evangelion,
Its poetic, that Yuasa would then take all these classic works of animation, and would use them to fuel his own lysergic psycho sexual masterpiece.
10/10 watch and awe.
