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.
