Review of Devilman: Crybaby

This show was just weird, janky, and unenjoyable. And that's coming from someone whose favorite anime is the Evangelion franchise. This whole show all around just wasn't worth my time and most likely isn't worth your time either. Let me get into the details as to why I didn't like this show. Story: Honestly, this is one of the better aspects of the show believe it or not. I somewhat enjoyed the story solely based on the ending. It was a cool ending and I'm a sucker for cool things. As for the rest of the show, it was on the weaker side and honestlyunenjoyable at times. There were parts of the show that were so over-sexualized and I really didn't like those parts. They didn't add anything to the story and definitely didn't need to be there. I wouldn't be mad if someone enjoyed the story though. I could see the aspects they could enjoy but personally, I could not invest myself into the story at all.

Art: This has to be one of my least favorite parts of this show. It just felt overall janky and unpolished. I feel like coming into this show the art was definitely something I wasn't banking on. I already knew from the trailers that I didn't like it, but damn was it worse than I thought. It felt so inconsistent and as if the animators had no real passion for the work.

Characters: God damn were they so bad. Not even being extra when I say they had to be by far the worse things in this show. All the characters seemed so flat and had no change, except for some exemptions. The only character in the main cast to really change was Ryo and honestly even that was dumb and came out of nowhere. Miki's character just felt so unreal and unrealistic. Akira and Miko were fine. My favorite character was honestly Wamu. He changed throughout the course of the show and it felt well written and deserved, unlike a lot of the other characters. Even for a minor role, he was by far the best character.

Overall I would recommend this if you have nothing else to watch. It could be a good change of pace but honestly not an enjoyable change.
