Review of Devilman: Crybaby
I was not traumatized but that anime haunted me for a while after I had watched it entirely. God, I finished watching the whole thing at around 11 pm, I was completely sleepy, I just wanted to sleep, but Devilman Crybaby left such a bad taste and uncomfortable feeling in me that I went to watch another anime to wash those bad feels away and to forget about it. Though, the next morning it was back to haunt me. I actually did not read the summary before I started watching it. I just saw horror in the tag and didn't see anything else and I just madethe big jump. It's really sexual(I did not know that it was mature), had to put on my earphone at some point, and the gore is there and some scenes are really - like really - hahaha...
I listened to the opening once and it was so creepy that I did not watch it again.
The running is super funny.
I like the art style though. The art style is my style. It's dark and stuff and I really like some of the characters design.
The story is well, how should I say, stuff happened, I did not always understand those stuff, but I can sure say that it was intense. It's really near the end that the story as a whole impacted me. Seeing how humans react when they get scared is really scary. How cruel they can be, even more than demons and it's sad and wow. And episode 9 really, the end of episode 9, mama mia it made me feel so so bad, like wowwww. I did not expect such an end to be honest.
The characters are well, I have no words to describe them. They do stuff, say stuff and overall, they are not the greatest out there. I like Akira and Ryo, again they're not the greatest but me like them.
In the end, I will never watch that thing again and I have absolutely no idea how I ended up watching all of it. I just wanted to see how it ends and I was left with feeling empty.
