| It honestly took a while to see any kind of batch up for this anime as I only saw seperate files for it and I'm too lazy for that shit >B The Beginning - [2018] - Web MKV h264 1080p AC3 5.1 Dual Audio Softsubs Is what I'm watching, and I'm going for subbed as I've never really been a fan of dubs but I'm sure it's atleast decent given it's produced by Netflix. |

| Isnt this on Netflix? |
Oni-Baku said: Isnt this on Netflix? Yup it is and although I do have an account (or atleast share) I just like watching it on my PC instead of netflix video player. |

| What a weird mix of realism and supernatural, not sure if like that yet but there was much to like about the debut episode. |
|
| Well this was a very noteworthy first episode, also im watching this in dub and its excellent. They got ray chase to voice Kieth and he just does a stellar job in everything hes a part of Overall cautiously optimistic. I think it will be a real waste if this show drops the ball especially since I think alot is riding on this to be good as it'll be truly representative of the stuff Netflix can produce in this medium and prove devilman isnt just a good fluke. |

Every single one of them have something weird about them and I guess people will call them edgy just from those designs alone in contrast to the people working on good side of the law like Keith, Lily etc. But hey they are terrorists so wtf do I know, gotta have some sort of fashion sense I guess. |

| Ignoring the flaws this show has it's a pretty easy watch so far.. Gonna finish it before Friday atleast when AICO releases I think. But I think @Pullman is enjoying it the most so far? I'm not even sure where my score will end up being as there are pretty cool eps with "shocking" moments but then they kinda undo them or cop-out. No need to stay so safe. |

I'm not even sure where my score will end up being as there are pretty cool eps with "shocking" moments but then they kinda undo them or cop-out. No need to stay so safe. Well I kinda see it the same way, it's pretty easy to watch even if the writing isn't great and some of the dialogue/comedy is kinda cringey too. Not the best script, but I don't care too much about that when the show has plenty of mystery stuff going on and just a generally nice atmosphere and visuals. It is a bit disappointing that it seems like wasted potential because of the mediocre writing but at the end of the day if it's easy to watch and somewhat enjoyable I'd call it a positive experience, and that seems to be the case so far. I see this ending up as a 6/10 or maybe 7/10 if it stays more consistent in the second half or ups the focus on stylish action rather than mediocre exposition. |

I'm curious how it will wrap up the story if it's pretty conclusive or open ended, as netflix haven't released too much anime produced content yet excluding devilman crybaby (which was based on a complete story anyways) and not anime original like this show. Don't see it having a S2 anyways and not sure it would need it so I hope for atleast a good conclusive ending. |

Knowing Netflix they're probably at least gonna include something that leaves the option of more seasons on the table in some way. But maybe for anime they're taking a different approach. |

It was a rather short scene with this guy in a curch saying this line |

okay, thanks. Well, I knew Netflix likes to have options but I kinda hope they try some more new projects instead until they make something that's really good and not just meh like B and AICO. |

I'm talking about Original stuff. Devilman was still an adaption from what I know. Harder to screw that up, but their issue so far seems to be writing decent original scripts. They got the animation and directing talent down, but I'm still waiting for an original Netflix anime that actually has a well written script. |

I do hope for more origionals with better execution, but really only B was the one that will let me down cause as ive said for months, aico was going to be abysmal at best. Epsidoe 1 all but confirmed that to me it will be a 4/10 at its absolute best. |

It's just hearsay for me one way or the other since I haven't seen it yet and I don't know the manga but that's the impression I got. In any case I do think there's quite a difference between wholly original scripts that have to make up a setting, a universe, a cast all of their own, and adaptions, even liberal ones. It takes a different kind of imagination/vision to create something from scratch compared to editing something existing to improve on it. Plus we both know Devilman is a Yuasa anime first and foremost, and a Netflix anime only as secondary nature :>. I have seen a bunch of really good Original Netflix series with amazing scripts in the live action department so I'm just hoping that this will eventually translate into anime originals too, but so far it hasn't really. |

Pullman said: well the thing is netflix has quite ltierally no input on what these shows wind up being, they are pretty well known for better or worse to just throw money at projects and let the creators do their own thing. Its a double edged sword and im sure it will be exactly that for anime if they keep it up, which i think they will really depends. I appreciate the effort at the very least from B, not aico though that shitheap was gonna be awful no matter what.JizzyHitler said: Nah I consider incredibly loose adaptions like that as original cause of how radically different almost all of it was.

I also dont see how devilman would be a faithful adaptation, it adapts certain key points but everything else from the cast, setting, style, and even said plotpoint being altered drastically are really different and completly its own, emphasis on the characters specifically i think sets it really apart from the source. |
