Devilman: Crybaby

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.

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.

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!

Yeah, first and second episode may seems illogical but in the end they explained it well, the ending is good.

Art, characters, sound everything is great.

I'm not even anime guy, but this is truly a masterpiece. From the scoring, story and animation it just beautifully perfect. Really worth to watch.
