SynopsisDemons exist and their power is beyond what humans can fathom. In fact they are so strong that humans do not stand a chance against them in a fight. The only thing strong enough to defeat a demon is another demon and it is trough this logic that Ryo Asuka hatches the plan to have his good-hearted friend Akira Fudo possessed by a demon. If a person is of pure of heart then he might be able to control the demon that posses him and thereby acquire power equal to a demon. After raising some hell in a club the plan works and Akira is possessed by the powerful demon known as Amon. Now Akira is humanities sole champion of justice against the hidden demon menace that has plagued humanity since the dawn of time. -ANN |

Both Devilman and the Getter Robo series come straight from the twisted mind of Go Nagai. Most of the work done on Getter Robo is by Uncle Go's co-creator, the late Ken Ishikawa, however, their storytelling and general theme is very similar.
In the recently-scanslated Shin Getter Robo manga, the Getter team goes through several... very "extreme" scenarios, including alien invasions and lack of control on their own power sources. Devilman also has invasions (demon invasions!) and a generally gritty depiction of life. Both have tons of blood and violence, following Uncle Go's traditional style.
