What the fuck did I just watch? Apart from the name which is absolutely retarded, who in their right mind thinks this anime is good, or even worth an award for that matter?

>animation

Weird and inconsistent. There's a noticeable dip in quality midway through the season as if they ran out of money. I can understand that there is a distinct style of animation they are going for, same goes for the colour scheme its like complaining about Space Dandy's animation when it is done so purposefully and not necessarily to cut corners and be jewish about expenses yet it just seems like they're being lazy/cheap about it.

>plot

Non-existent. It changes so much that it makes you wonder what the character motivations are. This begins as a psychedelic horror, becomes a plot about hunting down demons and then becomes a poor analogy of "othering" and race.

>characters

Where to even fucking begin. The main villain Satan is perhaps the best written one only because everyone else is retarded by comparison. At least his motivations are somewhat clear, only in the last two episodes but still. The protagonist is a faggot, his relationship with the villain is wishy-washy at best. They should be fighting each other by the 3rd or 4th episode seeing as how the villain changes his mind quite rapidly, but they still have an established rapport for some reason.

>Music

Only enjoyable thing, had that 80's techno vibe.

>Gore/nudity/miscellanea

Was definitely different from other anime/manga, at least at the beginning. The demons do begin to look stupid midway through the season, as if they decided to go with the first drafts of their ideas/drawings. If naruto running is a meme, I don't know what to make of pic related.

Devilman Crybaby is a (poor and clumsy) Netflix propaganda attempt. Their idea was to take something "hip and violent" and remake it as a subversion of "toxic masculinity". The crybaby part is literally just because he cries a lot now, that's all it means and it was a change pushed by Netflix to fight toxic masculinity.

That might just be the adaption fucking up in the original manga and Devilman Lady God doesn't give a shit about humanity and treats them more like pawns in his war against Satan which he loses anyway. Crybaby is just part of a repeating timeline as God punishes Satan for rebelling against him by repeatedly tricking him into killing Akira. This finally ends because Satan splits into a man and woman to hide from Michael so that he can have sex with himself and give birth to Akira. Humanity still gets wiped out.

I don't think we ever figured it out. Now, we know that Crybaby is just another repeating timeline, but does the original manga ever show a moon? If not, Crybaby could be considered the direct sequel timeline to the original manga.

Crybaby did this retarded. In the manga and OVA, a greater amount of time was spent developing their relationship and Ryou's connection with his dad and all that. In Crybaby it just kind of exposition dumps with no love at all for the characters, and then they are at odds with each other. In the original they never really have a falling out until Ryou's betrayal.

Crybaby expects the audience to already know the story and the history of the manga's influence on the industry, so it kind of just skips all the important details.

Crybaby is a sequel. You should have read the manga already.

The series became a meme because of Netflix. Shitty normalfags with no taste and no real sense for animation see this weird, silly, ridiculous, violent show that has a Choir of rappers popping in, and they think it's the best thing ever because they've been raised on awful, lazy media which is poorly composed and relies on direct, predictable content.

One thing ill say is that the OVA still tries to have this mystery vibe around it that the new anime drops entirely. It also did not show enough time of Akria being his innocent self with Miki protecting him to him changing into his "chad" Devilman Akria with Miki lusting over this new badboy side

As far as I know violence jack is just a different part of the cycle, there is a part 3 to devilman but very little of it was translated. I was hoping the popularity of crybaby would get people interested enough in the manga that someone would pick up the translation again, but it seems like the crybaby only crowd can't seem to understand that devilman lady is the best part of the series and they drop it.

Agreed. They did some shitty exposition dump to try and fill the driving scene, and the atmosphere of the manga was never reproduced. The OVA was close, but we'll never see anymore of that. I liked the demon hunting at Ryou's mansion and subtle things like what they were doing with hinting at God with the Stonehenge thing and Ryou's smile when he killed the demon with his shotgun. Siren was done justice as well.

It's too bad we didn't get the full OVA back then and are left with Yuasa's "modern" take. I wish we had delinquents instead of rappers.

Yeah it was a shit reimagining with very poor animation and he didn't even do the devilman pose, only the main theme was good, it sounds like they asked the guys who did the hotline miami soundtrack to remix the devilman theme.

The new anime was okay but they should have kept the nuclear warfare and being forced to use a demon to fight demons comparison really gave a bigger meaning to Devilman as a whole
