Synopsis

Demons 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.

Okay remember how the first Devilman movie had a lot of explaining and build up until the last 15 minutes before the awesome gore fest began…well this movie does not follow that same formula. Mostly, it just gets straight to the point.

Storyline

This movie to me feels like three separate action sequences crammed into one great movie. The first involving a demon who lures Akira into his hideaway just to torture him with a horrifying revelation about his parents. Second is an ambush attack at home targeting the family that is providing Akira with his temporary accommodation. Then lastly the movies core focus is on the read more

If the first ova has most about exposition and few action scenes, then this one is the opposite with plenty of action scenes and few exposition. Kind of.

Instead of explaining what the demons are, we see them now in action. The OVA in 1990 is made by the same company and has most of the cast from the previous OVA.

This OVA now follows Akira Fudo who has now become Devilman, a demon who fights demons hidden in society for sake of justice and humanity. As he gets more used to his power, an old lover to the once demon Amon appears in order read more

Part 2 of the 80's/90's OVA Devilman trilogy is Devilman: The Demon Bird. As the title implies, this anime is largely just about the fight between Devilman and the "harpie lady" known as Sirene. It's funny because this fight doesn't even happen until like halfway through the hour long OVA, with the first half consisting of Akira battling 2 other demons. That's it. There's really no story or character development to speak of here. The art/animation is once again very detailed, far surpassing the Netflix Devilman Crybaby in that department. I'll also praise the sound design here, since the "buzzsaw sound effect" when Sirene shot her homing missile arm was very effective. I do think it's beyond dumb that she can detach her arm and use it as a projectile when she's purely organic--and it always comes back to her somehow---and I need to stop thinking so much about this anime!!

Akira and Ryou have lost all sympathetic traits from part 1 and are now just hungry for battle alpha males. I will say that Miki's personality is better here than in her Crybaby version, where she was just the perfect "good girl." This Miki doesn't take shit from ANYONE, and is even willing to punch Akira in the nose if she thinks he deserves it! She's got spunk and that goes a long way with me (I just hope she has a better fate in store for her than her ending in Crybaby). Sirene herself has a cool, sexy design, I admit, but she's just a monster of the week, nothing more. I really don't remember much about her personality. We don't know why she hates Akira so much, or how she even tracked him down in the first place for that matter. When her friend the rhino guy sacrifices himself so they can combine, we don't really know why. They had an off-screen romance I guess? Instead of killing himself so an already-dying Sirene could use his body, why couldn't rhino guy just finish off Akira himself? Also who was this Xenon guy teleporting monsters in to help Sirene at the end? Couldn't he just fight Akira himself (and probably win)? Will Xenon be showing up in part 3? I feel like the show will forget about him, even though he seemed important. So yeah I had a lot of issues with the Sirene fight, mainly that went on WAY TOO DAMN LONG! Literally the last half hour of this OVA is the 2 of them fighting back and forth changing location like 10 times, no joke.

Out of the two earlier fight scenes (this anime is just a collection of fights btw, no exposition this time) we have one against Jinmen and one against a pervy water demon. The water demon fight was OK but clearly just an excuse to see Miki naked in the bath. I liked the part where a possessed Miki attacked Akira, but he back-handed her and knocked her out almost immediately. So anti-climactic! Why couldn't they drag out THAT fight!? And the Jinmen fight was just terrible. They make the same mistake as the Crybaby version, where Jinmen just shows up out of nowhere and has absorbed Akira's mom somehow and we're supposed to give a shit even though we've literally never had a scene of Akira with his parents until now. Wait, didn't Akira's mom die in the Arctic? What was Jinmen doing there?! How did he travel from the Arctic to Japan and track down Akira so quick!? Also there's a super cringe moment where Akira starts crying after killing Jinmen and his tears drip down through a hole in the floor and JUST SO HAPPEN to land right on his mom's face on Jinmen's shell on the lower level. Oh my God WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Ughh.

Devilman: The Demon Bird is a poor anime, 3/10. Oh boy, I just CAN'T WAIT to see how they wrap up this mess with part 3...

Prologue -

The problem with this movie was the story was set up correctly, but it had a bad flavor to it. I've summarized the key points below.

Pros -

There are actual nasty demons generals sent by Satan to fight against Devilman which could've led to some potentially good fights.

Cons -

Devilman is useless and not a good fighter. No Jeet Kune Do, no Chun Kuk Do, no Tae Kwon Do, no nothing.

Devilman has very few special powers compared to the demon generals. Ironically, Devilman is known as the strongest. That's not even feasible.

Devilman gets his ass kicked like the cover implies. He literally gets tossed read more
