Review of Devilman: Crybaby

So let me start by saying that I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews about this anime on its page and I really wanted to share my piece as to why I loved it so much. This anime is full of nudity, blood, and gore with religious undertones. So I can get how if you like watching slice of life shows like some Clannad or Hetalia or something why you would be turned off by this. However, I just wanted to say how long its been since I saw a show that reminded me of some of my favorites like Hellsing and End of Evangelion.Like seriously, its been so long since I felt so sad and yet at the same time was on the edge of my seat wondering where the story is going next.

SOUND:the opening is a little long at 1 minute 40 seconds but it is trippy and the techno beats throughout this show fit perfectly.

STORY:This is based on Go Naiagis original Devilman manga and changes a lot of things around so don't expect a close adaptation but for the majority of us who havent read the 1972 manga this wont matter.

CHARACTERS:Every time something bad happens to a character you feel it. The show sets you up for tears and by the end I really felt the connections between Miki, Miko, Akira, and Rio.

The show also has its problems that Im overlooking as well such as at certain parts the story seems sort of rushed and the characterizations are moreso implied at different points then explicitly told to the audience (probably due to its 10 epissode length) but goddamn is it a crazy ride.

thank you Netflix for making this and I hope that they adapt a sequel Devilman story as well.

BOTTOM LINE: if you like boobs and blood and a badass techno soundtrack then watch this, you won't be disappointed. If you like lighter fare then you should probably steer clear and let us masochists have our fun.
