Go Nagai is one of Berserk's primary inspiration. The Devilman manga is classic. It really pushed boundaries as to what was acceptable and what wasn't. Miura is a fan. It also served as an inspiration for Evangelion and Anno is a big fan of Devilman along with Mazinger (Another Nagai work, which will be receiving an anime move this year by Toei). Also people should stop looking at scores especially when old properties like this is concerned. Devilman is nowhere near perfect, but when you consider that it was made in 1972, it's impressive. The only roadblocks I can see is that people might not like the old school art, but I personally enjoy it. The Devilman tv series (Which is different from the manga) was also a hit back in the 70s achieving 15% ratings, but if you saw the score on MAL, you would think it's some forgotten anime that no one wanted. Very wrong. My point is, just read, watch and judge for yourself. I don't know how many gems I would have missed if I solely looked at the score. I'm really enjoying Tiger Mask W this season even though I'm not into wrestling, but if I wouldn't have watched it if I took the score into consideration. I also stopped using MAL for that very reason. I'd rather just stumble on random stuff and watch, without researching anything about it. |
| @DocJangarly @Rei366 @Cabron erm thanks, maybe it wasnt the best one but it was a joke since the score of Amon is 666 fitting his devilish nature :) I really dont care about MAL scores so no worry. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| This is great news. |
| This is what Devilman needs; a new anime directed Yuasa that looks great. Can this be the series big breakthrough in the west? |
 |
| Didn't care for the 80s OVA but I'm rather looking forward to this nonetheless. Yuasa's da bomb. |
Take care of yourself |
| Yuasa is GREAT however Geass and Kabaneri writer working on this is a giant red flag. |

No worries. I'm just saying this because I found out that tastes are very subjective, way more than I previously thought and vary hugely from person to person. Amon is also partly based on the spinoff Amon: The Darkside of Devilman manga which wasn't by Go Nagai. AFAIK, Devilman is best experienced as a manga. The OVAs are just cherry on the top. That said, the 70s tv series was manly as fuck. I mean, just watch this OP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVj-4uiOt4 Basically the main difference between this version and the manga is that here, our hero actually dies and the demon Amon takes over, and falls in love with a human girl, while in the manga, it's the other way round where our hero manages to conquer Amon's consciousness and gains his powers. |

| A Yuasa-Nagai project? Sounds perfect. |
     |
| I can already tell it's gonna be filled with tears and personal drama cause he killed people, crybaby indeed. |
 |
| Bleh, this looks like one of those old action school mangas that people liked for being edgy at the time but when you look at it from a modern eye it's not that well written. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
| This is like a fucking dream! I hope this adapts the manga to the end. |
| Can't wait. Some changes to make it a bit modern will be fine like they did with Parasyte, but still good and adapts the whole story. SkyDrop said: Hmm, spring 2018? No way I will remember this for long time! I wished it could come this year.. **sigh** anyway from the look of pv, it looks like we will be expecting 3d cgi animation.. btw who planning to watch 1970s devilman? well rating seems low for this series but i hope they will devise carefully and show us that devil man is really devilish. Anyway I will be looking forward to this 70's anime TV series is different from the manga, but it is still fun to watch. If you like stuff like Ultraman, Godzilla or cheesy B movies, give the TV series a watch. However the manga is fantastic. |
| Yuasa.... Insta-drop and 1/10. Why the fuck did they give a classic anime like Devilman to this idiot, is beyond me. That's like asking Fellini to direct Terminator. Give me a break... |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |

Correct me if I'm wrong. Very wrong. It's not a school manga and some violence doesn't make a manga "edgy". That's just ignorance speaking. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

When a man with nothing on his drop list speaks such words, you just gotta stay away from a safe distance. Don't look at him and you will be just alright. The storm is gotta pass soon... |

SuperRed said: Bleh, this looks like one of those old action school mangas that people liked for being edgy at the time but when you look at it from a modern eye it's not that well written. Correct me if I'm wrong. People like it because it has a good story. The manga is a anti-war story with demons and handles its story very perfectly. It's classic just like how people still like Jojo and Parasyte today. |

| This is going to be fucking awesome |
 |
| The style looks too cartoonish for my taste. Still hoping for the best. |
 |
| It would be great if they adapt the sequels too (violence jack & devilman lady) |
| Never seen the original Devilman series but will have to now. Demon Lord Dante was one of the series that got me into anime though so this is gold |

| So glad more n more old mangas are getting anime adaptions. I want to read em but old mangas from the 80's n 70's tend to bore me for some reason, even though there very interesting so this is awesome! |

| A devilman adaptation... By Yuasa... brb, gotta change my underwear. SuperRed said: But maybe Yuasa will make something decent out of it. Lol. Clearly shows that you haven't read it. Getter Robo is edgy old-school action schlock (tho it's important for other reasons). Devilman is just fucking sexy and excellent. Tho I have no doubt that Yuasa will make something different out of it, and still good. I'd like to see his style meet Go Nagai's. Some panels in Devilman are just brutally beautiful. |

| I seriously wonder why this manga gets so many adaptations but they're all subpar to what they should be. I'm excited, nonetheless. |

DatRandomDude said: Oooooh myyyyy. So this is the TV anime project that Yuasa was talking about Surprised that its a new Devilman anime ! Sad that we'll be waiting a year for it tho :/ If it's on netflix they'll need to put almost all of it up at once so I assume they'll be making it for the next year (if it's a long show) or something. |
| |
| I have been dreaming about this... New Devilman anime and holy shit there's some serious talent behind this, just wishing this will hold up to the hype. |
 |
| Well I guess it's about time that devilman finally got a proper adaptation. I really don't like the title, thought... |
