Review of Devilman: Crybaby
I LOVED this show. I watched this show knowing NOTHING about it's manga or past anime background & was pleasantly surprised. STORY: They did an excellent transition of making it a shock-value comedy to a dark, "realistic" anime. Realistic as in it addressed a lot of human-issues towards the end. And here I thought this was just a shock-value comedy because of the insane nudity & running animation. JOKES. ON. ME.ART:
The animation really turned me off because I hated that animation style since it was similar to that Ping Pong anime, but I got over it because the plot evolved into something phenomenal!
SOUND:
Sound was great. Nothing AMAZING, but it fit the story.
CHARACTERS:
BOY OH BOOOOOOOY was I conflicted with the characters lol
They were annoying, but for whatever reason I cared about them! I didn't want anyone to die. I didn't want anything bad to happen to them.
I was shocked at everything that happened to them & genuinely upset at what happened.
I never like annoying characters so this was a surprise.
ENJOYMENT:
I watched this with my boyfriend & wanted to cheat-watch so bad! We usually watch 1-2 EP's a night & I was itching to watch each night.
OVERALL:
I highly recommend this.
After reading up about the manga & how drastically different the older anime was from the manga, this is something I think everyone should watch & learn from.
Also, frick the ending.
