While not entirely faithful to the source material, I think Masaaki Yuasa captured perfectly well its themes and essence, particularly its blatant anti-war themes, as well its overall disturbing bleakness.
A very effective horror tragedy anime series.

So basically, this is an adaptation of the darkest manga of Go Nagai: DevilMan.
Go Nagai was also creating TV Shows for kids (like Gurendaizer - Goldorak -, BomberX and Mazinger Z), so a manga as dark, crude and violent as DevilMan from the same author can be quite unsettling. However, the anti-war theme that we find in most works of Nagai is present here nonetheless, yet the exposition of this discourse involves a lot of disturbing violence. Graphically, this adaptation may look quite different from the original work of Nagai, it is narratively very faithful to the source material. The storyline follows the manga, but modernizes a lot of things in the storytelling. Smartphones, internet, social networks, among other things are included seamlessly in the plot without denaturing it, on the contrary, it adds a lot to the message of the original work. The unique animation and direction style of Yuasa adds a lot to the freshness of the overall experience.
However, this is still DevilMan, it is raw, harsh, there is abuse, sex, drugs, nudity and violence. The overall experience is a cruel, nihilistic, emotional rollercoaster. The story is quite grandiloquent, and we can still feel a certain narration style from the 70s. But it is definitely a good anime that reminds of pre-2000s mangas, when nothing was ever half-baked if it serves the discourse.
If you are prone to get offended, do not watch DevilMan, but if what I said above still appeals to you, go watch it ! It's damn good. (no pun intended)
I am happy that Netflix supports this kind of uncensored productions. I've recently watched "The end of the F***ing World" and "Black Mirror Season 4," it definitely feels good to have more things with substance on Netflix recently, and DevilMan Crybaby is definitely on the Anime side of this good wave that makes me like Netflix again.

Devilman embodied everything anime was about when I was younger. Fantastic animation, brutal, shocking blood gore, and simple disdain for taboo.
If you are familiar with Devilman, you will appreciate the throwbacks and wall breaking references, and reworked scenes from the past, however, if you have not read the original manga, the themes that follow in Devilman Crybaby are actually a mix of the original anime with the manga (which varied a bit), consolidating the story in glorious fashion.
Devilman Crybaby is packed with symbolism, scenes that are funny and real, the relationships are believable, the animation style works fantastically, while the OST is outright jaw dropping. Even if you aren't a fan of anime, you should should give Devilman Crybaby a chance, especially as Netflix has done a fantastic job creating a high quality English dub so it doesn't sound like a corny kids TV show. A perfect example of what anime is really about. (Hint. its a scarily realistic reflection of mankind and our strained relationships.)

As I long time fan of devilman i was highly surprised that Netflix was making a total new anime of the master piece created by Go Nagai decades ago. I tought that maybe we would see a censored version of this horror and adult anime, but God, i was wrong. This is one the best anime that i´ve seen in my life. The gore, the sex, the violence is all there. But this anime goes even further. Explores subjects as drugs, the good and bad side of every single human, fate, religion, friendship and love. The animation and the music is also superb. The Ost is so good that you´ll found yourself listening the songs again and again. Maasaki Yuasa, thanks for Making Akira Fudo fights evil once more!

Even though I am not familiar with the source material, I decided to watch this anime. The first couple of episodes, I felt were ok-ish. What I did not realize is that this was setting up the story for the second half of the series, which is where the show really shines. It is then that it becomes immensely brutal and uses the background of the first episodes to build on. Blood and gore go hand in hand with the drama that unfolds in front of your eyes. I was shocked to see just how brutal it becomes and had to fight against the tears on some moments. If you're looking for a feel-good anime, this is not for you.
If there is one bad thing I can say about this show, it is that it's too short. With 1 or 2 episodes more, they could have clarified some background stories and made the final battle more intense. The ending is thought provoking (in fact much more than neon genesis), but if a bit more time had been invested, it would have gone into the history books as a classic for sure.
One of the best animes on Netflix and highly recommended.

I have not watched any of the previous Devilman movies/series/read the manga. Actually, I randomly stumbled upon this and decided to watch the first episode. And all I have to say is WOW.
The art is awesome.
The story is awesome.
The psychological aspect of the anime is awesome (Black Mirror-esque).
This is like Black Mirror, crossed with Hellsing, crossed with awesome.
If you like fantasy, scifi, anime, you will be a fan.
You will not be a fan if you do not like blood, killing, action, fun, life in general.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

The Good:
Devilman Crybaby is certainly worth a watch if any of the promotional imagery or description tickles your fancy, and was my first delve into the franchise. It's filled with aggressive sex (that's only a short walk away from being hentai), visceral gore, superb synthwave style music that gives a real "underground" vibe and explosive animation. The character designs of the demons are also quite aesthetically pleasing/intriguing, particularly of Devilman himself. The fantastic action scenes, intense soundtrack and fast pacing of the show make it so that you'll never become bored, which is a blessing as the show probably wouldn't hold up without them. The very ending was also unexpected and somewhat refreshing, with an interesting moral and a conclusion that makes it possible to tie in Devilman Crybaby as a sequel/prequl to every other previous/future Devilman story respectively. The show is also apparently very faithful to the original manga.
The Average: The (dub) voice acting is not exceptional but still perfectly acceptable by anime standards so there are no real issues there. There are also certain moments where the animation quality seems to take a bit of a nose dive, but whether this is the result of the director's (Masaaki Yuasa) fairly unique style is up for debate.
The Bad & The Ugly: Where the problems really begin is with the story. The story's basic plot points are interesting enough, although they never really have a chance to develop properly and there are plenty of moments that bring up questions that are never actually answered. This ranges from "world building" related questions to characters that just turn up, act like we know that they're a big deal and then vanish, never to be spoken of again. These instances are fairly unimportant and can be glossed over quite easily but as a Devilman first-timer it's very confusing. Some people may take more issue than me with the logistics of the story not making much sense at times but... eh, it's an action anime so y'know. The characterisation is also pretty flat. Almost all of the characters stay exactly as they start off as which makes any twists or revelations either entirely predictable from the start or just dull, not because the twist is bad, but because you just don't really care. The only characters that I kind of felt for by the end were the rapper guys (who can basically be treated as one singular character for the most part), Miki "Miko" Kuroda, Akira Fudo (Devilman) and Ryo Asuka (within the show's closing seconds). That's not to say that they're bad character templates, but that's all they ever are, templates.
Conclusion: If it looks cool to you just watch it. You'll have a fun time and at worst you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. If it gets a sequel I'll certainly be watching it if you want to put it that way. If you're looking for something more emotional, in-depth and that is a bit more intellectually stimulating however, this probably isn't it.

This anime is actually true to the manga, not like the 1972 TV version. It is cruel, bloody and in the end, it really touched me.
It may look very strange at first glance, but it got really interesting from episode 3 onwards, so give is a little bit of time if you are hesitant on the first two episodes.
Devilman has a good length (although I wouldn't have complained about 1-2 more to explain the archaeology part/demon background a bit more - the manga did a bit of a better job here I believe), since it's very common with Anime's nowadays to stretch it out over many episodes and seasons.
It's visually stunning, the narrative style very different, and the soundtrack great. An amazing anime, I loved watching it. It touched some sensitive topics, how humans treat each other and what's the real evil in this world.
I'm actually happy that Netflix supported this kind of production - I kind of would've expected them to censor it more, but it's perfect the way it is.

Devilman Crybaby, Netflix's anime adaptation of Go Nagai's manga, is a wild ride through violence, gore, and philosophical exploration. While praised for its animation, unique visual style, and tackling of mature themes like religion and identity, it's equally criticized for its graphic content, sometimes gratuitous violence, and pacing issues.
If you're looking for something intense, thought-provoking, and visually distinct, Devilman Crybaby might be your jam. But be prepared for its brutal content and uneven execution. It's definitely not for everyone, but for those who can stomach it, it offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

I really like dark stories, but I never connected with Devilman Crybaby. The story is very dark to the very end, but it feels less than satisfying if you want something more than violence and gore. Characters feel flat; the sense of justice of Devilman is very warped (a human killing others is a murderer and it is not spared because he has emotions); the points raised by the anime are not fully explored, and easily discarded; story seems rushed and superficial, specially the end. And the animation, although a lot of people will disagree with me, bad.
I didn't expect the end, but I will not comment to avoid spoilers. It was a surprising end.

Very good anime. Even though I rated the show a 10/10 it could have done with a couple more episodes. The art style is amazing. And the first few episodes are the best out of the mini-series but all of it is without a doubt is amazing. If you've never seen it before you should definitely watch it. Some parts are sad, funny, and happy. The music is also amazing, especially the 2nd episode I think it was... but you'll now what I mean when you watch the series. The intro is also very cool and the design is really well done in my opinion. There are also some weird scenes throughout the series as well.

Let me tell you, I was not expecting it to get that crazy. I initially found this anime through a social media platform, and honestly started watching it without knowing absolutely anything. The first episode was quite unexpected and I wasn't sure why some things happened and was slightly confused. Then I dropped it for a bit because it wasn't exactly going as fast as I wanted it to and the plot wasn't that intriguing. However, after a couple of episodes everything got so much more intense and I felt every single bit of it. I really love how this anime shed light on very human aspects of life and the true nature of humans, it offered a wonderful perspective and got me to ponder about a lot of things. Would highly recommend this is you don't mind all the gore, sexual actions and just want to think about life while also feeling every emotion in this insane rollercoaster.

Devilman Crybaby is an interesting show to say the least; it's a modernised adaptation of Go Nagai's classic manga, Devilman, from the 70s; and boy what a change from the source material's aesthetic this went through. Devilman: Crybaby is an interesting slice of animation from Netflix; it's not an American import but rather a Japanese anime that was exclusively licensed for the Netflix service. It starts off strongly with its edgy and fast-paced premiere episode, but for me it fizzled out around episodes 2 & 3, and then started picking up the pace and focus again by episode 6. It's tonally uneven at times and doesn't seem to focus on any one given thing in the story, but it's still an ambitious effort nonetheless.
Devilman is as classic an anime property as Lupin the Third, Astro Boy, Cyborg 009, Space Pirate Captain Harlock and even Kimba the White Lion. It's been in the background of the Japanese pop-cultural scene since 1972, and it's cool that properties like these can be reimagined in several ways, kind of like how there are various adaptations of iconic characters, such as Superman and Sherlock Holmes, around the world. I wonder if this will result in a Mazinger Z series or movie?
Devilman: Crybaby; perfectly okay stuff that's well worth any otaku's time on the internet. Beware though: recommended for otaku aficionados only. Anyone outside that demographic will fall most likely fall asleep while watching it.

Wasn't sure about the animation style after watching the first couple of episodes. But, after halfway though, I started to enjoy the style and colors used during the brutal scenes. I thought the story was interesting, just seemed like a lot for only 10 episodes. If you watch it with an open mind and do not compare it to the 3 films from he 80s-90s. Devilman:Birth; Amon, etc. This was well done. Worth watching if you are a Devilman fan. For anyone who knows about Devilman, its over the top brutal. This just seems like a brutal/psychedelic hybrid. Would like to see more Devilman on Netflix :)

Devilman: Crybaby is about a sensitive boy who merges with a demon. It is animated by Science Saru.
This show is very dark. It is also very sexual and violent. The plot is structured well and is also good. The animation is very fluid and crisp. It captures the mood very well. The characters are interesting and their character designs are great. The show is a bit unrealistic, to how humans act.
The voice acting was great. I preferred the sub to the dub.
I would recommend this to people looking for a violent, dark and sexual anime.

I'm very picky but this is not an anime for everyone.
If you've had enough of the same anime cliches over and over and you want something amazing and different then watch it!
Fantastic job in all fronts.
I'm in awe.
