| Because the anime should have be MechaJellyfish said: I don't understand why everyone is using the manga as a basis of everything that makes this show good or bad, an adaptation doesn't have to stick purely to the original material and just because it changed many things from the original, it doesn't mean that it's inherently worse. Not to mention the manga Crybaby originated from is literally 40 years old. Introducing the story to an entirely new audience, changes need to be made. I came into Crybaby completely fresh, I don't care what happened in the original manga, this is its own series and it should be taken as such. A lot of changes are inherently worse, and therefore prevented the show from becoming as good as it could have been. I expected Crybaby to fix some of the issues with the original manga, not make them worse. |
Hagorama said: Fuck that was really powerful, Quite literally everyone dies. Ep 9 and 10 were really great. Why Did ryo grew a pair of breasts?? A solid 8/10 for me, Art and sound were 10/10 though. If it would have had more sol moments would have given it a 10 Liked it way better than the other stuff made by science saru. Because he. they. are Satan. They had a penis and breast, meaning they weren't either male nor female. |
| I did not expect this ending... at all... I should have though. People were dying left and right... :/ |
| i cant believe i gave in to the hype... it looked quite promising at first but uhhhh im so disappointed. The best thing out of the show were those random rap sequences |
| hmm.. |
| Still heartbroken even if i expected it... kinda wish theyd include the part where Satan realises he did wrong and just imitated God by destroying humans like in the Manga before Akira is fully finished I think this anime did put an extra punch on what the manga could not pull off, with a modern twist. At the same time i do think they kinda chucked in some unnecessary nudity but whatever. I also think how Satan got his Ryo identity was better and much more straightfoward in the orig manga. Also he finally has nipples 9/10 |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| Nice style, animation and all, but otherwise a huge letdown. Definitely the worst Yuasa work by far. Is it the source material? Haven't read the manga myself, but I've a feeling that there's just too much silliness thematically and in the story itself. |

| I love these netflix anime projects. I'm hopeful for more older manga/games adaptation from them. I really love the 1:1 manga adaptations that most of the japanese studios have been doing, but this kind of adaptation is also great when the studio can pull it off and have a good director working on it. |
| What a nihilistic, destructive tale this was. Yeah, this is definitely superior to the original source material, the manga. the plot is more self-realized with much better foreshadowing. the characterization for the cast of characters, especially for Akira, was handled much better and was much more well-written. the relationships were established and explored better. i actually felt something for Miki's death, other than pure shock. god, i wanted her to live so bad. Only downside is, the art was far superior in the manga. i'm okay with Akira's character design, i think i even like it more his original one, but Ryou's design was such a huge downgrade compared to his original, iconic design in the manga and OVA. same thing goes for Demons, too. also, the horror elements were presented better in the manga. Yuasa did the best job he could probably do. i love it when directors take control of the original source, improve it, and turn it into a better piece of work with their own vision. 10/10 |
| Yeah, i guess. It's pretty gritty and dark. Every Episode force me ask basic question about god, human, and my boner for miko. Good job Netflix. |
| God is silent. Now if only man would shut up |
| So, that after credits scene... It would appear that Satan and his demons lost to God an his Angels. Am I to assume that the charred planet is what remains of the 'old' Earth that was the battlefield, and there is a brand new Earth? It's probably not even a significant point, but I am a bit curious as to others thoughts. Having not read or previously had any exposure to the source material, the constant build of despair hit me hard. Just when I thought it would culminate with Miki's death, time goes on as humans are eradicated while Akira and Satan fight their war. I'm not really sure how I feel about the depiction of Akira's death. The way it was presented to the audience was powerful, but his death made me feel like everything was meaningless - which may have been the intent given the recurring theme of despair. What I did not like about this show is that often the plot seemed disjointed in that i may have missed key points, but that was just the way the information was presented. Overall, this was a great anime. A solid 8/10. |
| I don't see the appealing in this anime at all. I decided to watch it after all the hype people were showing in social media, but I didn't see it. It may be because I didn't read the original source, but the story in general was really meaningless, not profound at all. It's watchable at most. The animation and OSTs were really good, but the story was really cheap. I barely felt any connection with the characters presented... Wamu and Miko at most. And yet, not really. Anyway, I just felt like I had to say something after seeing so many reviews calling it a masterpiece and so on. For me, it was a 5/10. |
 |
| that ending tho... oh my god. ryo why did u just finally realize a done fucked up? it pains me that he was finally able to feel emotions UNTIL he started an apocalypse. okay :/ anywayss, definitely one of my fav anime now. i would consider re-watching this uhh like.... 10 times... 9.69/10 no wait 10/10 does anyone think there will be another spin-off or anything of the sort? i need. |

| Binged this Yesterday. Better then the original manga, IMO. |
| Although the art style is not top notch for me, it ended as a pretty solid show for me, great ending, now that I read that the manga has a sequel I'm looking forward to see if they also adapt it. Overall 8 or 8. something/10 |

Overall 8 or 8. something/10 It's not that likely that the sequel (Devilman Lady) will be adapted again, it was adapted already back in 1998 - https://myanimelist.net/anime/1629/Devilman_Lady?q=devil%20 Though the adaptation was pretty much an alternate take on the story and is not in canon with anything else. It is great on it's own though and I feel better than the manga. |

It is great on it's own though and I feel better than the manga. I wouldn’t say it’s better but certainly different. I kinda like the manga for its completely bonkers plot so there’s that. |
Oniifam_ said: I hate how people look at a vague and incoherent plot and say its the "deepest thing they ever watched" This would probably be the main reason one would give this show more than 8/10. It's not that vague and it's not particularly incoherent. Paced a little hapdash maybe, even I recognise the manga sort of changes in plot about midway through, and this was because from what Go Nagai said, many of his ideas for the second half came to him midway through publishing, but with chapters already released he couldn't really go and retcon them. He did make additions to later editions of the manga that help this a bit. If Crybaby's guilty of anything, it's in not really fixing this when it had a chance to. And it's not deep. It's quite sad, but as I keep saying, it's a very simple plot. It's the plot equivalent to a bludgeoning with a hammer. What I like, is the honesty of it, the fact it really doesn't try to dress it up but instead just focus on intensity. But I fell in love with Devilman originally without the full plot, but because the OVAs which were stupendously animated and fucking cool. You might see where the appeal of the concept comes a bit more if you watched them. |
MrHawky said: deku2 said: So I never read Devilman and went in watching this anime completely blind... It ripped my heart in half and tore it into pieces lmao that was absolute mindfuckery, in the best way possible. I wasn't expecting Ryo to be Satan and that end /end/ with Akira torn in half... I have to admit it did felt bit rushed (both 9 and 10, a lot happened in just two episodes) but it all came together nicely in the end 10/10 to be honest The only thing that I didn't completely understand, did the world like "reset" at the final scene? Because that was the feeling I got. Not sure, but I think the moons are the previous earths, because in the first info dump where we see the demon earth there was no moon present (I seem to remember it that way), so after the earth faced destruction the first time it became a moon and a new one took its place. That's what happened here, pretty sure. Dude. NO! They split the moon in 2 halfs during the battle so you get two smaller ones. It's jsut emphasizes that the world just keeps going on even if the previous one ended...this kinda stuff.... |
| I gotta say, the ending took me by surprise, it felt kinda rushed too; but overall this anime was fucking great. I would give the Soundtrack a steaming 15/10 if i could though. |
 |
| Yep, I'm just never gonna like these types of endings. Makes everything seem pointless, it was a really fun show but Miki's death ruined it for me. |
 |
| I missed this kind of anime, reminds me of those OVA from late 80s early 90s that I used to watch as a brat with uncensored gore, sex, horror and despair, ala genocyber; midori; jack; etc. I'm dreaming this trend achieves momentum so that uzumaki get an adaptation. |
| i liked the last episode but i was pretty upset because of you know what.. |
| Watched all 10 episodes between last night and today. Predictable ending imo, and the amount of fuckery in that war was certainly something. This series was certainly...something. With everyone dead it seems like one of those anime where sex and violence is what shaped the world as well as destroyed it; even for the demons. 2/10 for effort. |
 |
| Yuasa will be on reddit for real??? |
| This was a great ride so I'm giving it a 8/10 for enjoyment, but could have definitely done better in the plot,pacing, and character development. The animation was unique so I won't really fault all the bleh faces since it still worked with the action. A trippy predictable jumble of action, gore, and sex. Recommend you watch this with other people for full enjoyment because that's what I did and had a good laugh. Music was 10/10 (I didn't read more than 2 volumes of the original manga nor seen the Anime so I can't judge on faithfulness.) |

| Very fast pacing in the end, but holy shit I loved it. 9/10 for me. |
| What an incredible ride. I'm not familiar with Nagai's manga so that probably makes it easier for me to have enjoyed this on its own terms. Love Yuasa's art and animation styles and i thought the fast pace and soundtrack really gave this a kinetic energy that is quite lacking in anime in 2018. Will recommend and watch again. |

| Fuck, things just kept getting more and more extreme. Serious end of eva and berserk vibes, I'm not too sure I liked the pacing of this show. Somewhere between episode 7 and episode 8 things starting going way too fast and we lost some crucial explanations. I love this show so much though, the music was amazing, the characters felt real and the episodes had a lot of weight to them. I really wish things had slowed down a bit to fit in an extra two episodes. I've got to give it 9/10, it could have been a 10 and it was so close but I didn't feel like things were just right. So close though. |
| I've been here way too long... |
TheConquerer said: That's how I feel too. It was so close to a 10/10 but the last few episodes just weren't good enough for me. It could have been so much better if Satan explained everything before the climax rather than during it. Fuck, things just kept getting more and more extreme.

Overall, this was a great anime. A solid 8/10. I'm in the same boat and am very glad I got to watch such a classic that I had no clue about that as I understand, was adapted for our modern era. While having some likeable characters die and having some left standing may make people feel that individual death more impactfull,there's still that feeling of hope that some very valuable lessons were learned at a great cost, but things can still work out. That happens in a lot of stories we're fond of, where the main character(s) loose some of their friends,family,mentors,etc in order to learn a valuable,even if tragic, lesson. But here, it doesn't matter if Ryo/Satan learned a valuable lesson at the end, because it was simply too late given all the damage he's caused. Yea, all the hysteria is overblown but it nevertheless manages to drive it's point across. While the anime still baits us with that hope for a while with the kids & people hugging Akira & someone like Miki influencing people for the better in a crisis, it just wasn't enough. It's also interesting,sad but also somewhat hopeful just considering that if more people like her,Akira,Miki no2 & the rappers were around, things would've been completely different in the end. |
