Review of Devilman: Crybaby

I remember it as if it were yesterday. Never have I ever seen this much responsibility on Netflix shoulders as in 2018. Devilman:Crybaby was the first anime show that they had ever produced by themselves was fairly an ambitious project even for a giant corporation such as Netflix for these specific reasons: 1) It was a reboot of already existing anime series, in times, when reboots are not handled well. 2) The known the fact that Netflix is largely oriented to western audiences 3) (anime) streaming platforms were a saturated market There was no way to accurately predict how this endeavor is going to turn out. Before Iknew it, I was shaking with expectations and it wasn't about the show. It was about the path Netflix intends to tread. Is it going to be a path of idle garbage, that is only slightly better than silence in the room or path to quality content?

What kind of entrance Netflix wants to make to this place?

Well, let me regale you; I was blown away. I fell in love with the lightfooted, fluffy art, the reinvented characters and especially I fell in love with the music. To me, the 80's flavored dark synth sound design by Ushio Kensuke is on the same level of genius as Eurobeat to Initial D.

I love to watch Devilman:Crybaby everytime, when I am in a mood to watch something beautiful being destroyed (rewatched 3x). Not everyone is going to approve it; it is nihilistic as hell.

It is also fairly commendable for Netflix, to make the bold first step like that, because typically, corps of sizes like these, do very inoffensive, safe choices.
