Review of Devilman: Crybaby

Warning: Big boy words are used in this review, so if you can't handle mature language, go watch Clannad or something People need to understand that sex, violence, death and other similar content is very prevalent in this show and for good reason. Devilman: Crybaby depicts what would happen if humans ever had to face a more powerful species; we'd get fucked! The human race has a lot of dark themes hidden from the public eye: drug abuse, group sex, stabbings, murder, etc. and the fact that this show doesn't shy away from this is certainly commendable. It has been a long time since an anime hashad the balls to push the envelope this far, yet never entirely promote satanic affairs like in other previous anime. It's refreshing for a guy like me who wants more adult cartoons that aren't comedy crapfest to see a show that rids itself of PC culture to tell a powerful story that will affect anyone that chooses to watch.

Not to say the anime is great in every way. The sound is unremarkable, the pacing is erratic and Yuasa still shows his incompetency to design actual human beings, but this is a step in the right direction. Overall I recommend Devilman Crybaby.
