| Man. What the hell. Everyone is dead and it look like the world reset. Again? |
| That was a great fight, and overall a nice way to end this one. It was never gonna be a happy ending! 8/10 |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Wow. What a series. This is pretty much the ending I expected around ep 7 or 8 tho. Literally everyone died. I'm pretty sure god "nuked" the world at the end there as well, and after the credits it looks like earth got reset with the old earth as a new moon. Pretty nice touch. |
| The plot's pacing was all over the place, with many twists happening before I could really manage to care about them or already knew was happening. Maybe the sheer brutality of some of the death scenes were supposed to shake me up instead? It's felt like halfway into making the anime, they realized they had only a few episodes left and had to rush through everything. Ending was solidly okay though I guess. Though does contribute to that pacing issue considering this episode was an exposition dump for Ryo. Anime had its moments, animation and soundtrack were splendidly great to experience at times. However wasn't "AOTY" for me. |
| I don't even know what to think about this. From this point on I am going to assume this adaptation kinda have the same vibe as the manga (but I don't have a clue). -Very surprised by the ending. I will say it is a reference to the End of Evangelion, but Devilman came first so maybe is the opposite. I actually liked the ending despite not liking how they came to that point. -Devilman was the biggest inspiration of Miura to make Berserk and the Guts/Griffith relationship. I really wonder if he is going to end up the series like this (I actually think so). -Honestly, this show was the definition of a Fuster Cluck. The plot was messed up, the pacing as well. The characters are either one-dimensional, with no fucking common sense, deep, or just annoying (like Miki, I mean she did not have to die like that but still her personality and her Mary Sueness really were off). -Regarding the sex scenes and the gore, that was maybe the point I liked the less of the show. I don't care if a show have those themes, but at least make a point out of it, don't put them just because you want more audience to make controvers (but I mean this is on Netflix, it is practically begging for attention). -The animation and the music were the best. Yuasa was definitively the best option for an adaptation of Nagai's strange artwork. The series felt gritty, EDGY and all over the place. The ost was phenomenal. I don't liked it because of how pretentious it was, and how it went full political/sociopath at the end. There were episodes that I think are complete garbage, and other ones that are good. That scene when they "burned the witch" was strange honestly, but again, it felt like in the show people were some mindless fuckers (literally and figuratively). I guess they were trying to show humanity at it's worst in the most edgy way. 6/10. The ending scale it a lot honestly, if it wasn't for it a 3 would have been my best score. |
| I was thinking about why Ryo and Akira's love has lasted so long and has been so powerful to so many and I think it's because their love is pure and innocent. It's true and unconditional, they both truly care for each other. Yet Ryo doesn't understand his own feelings. He can be cruel and awful and monstrous but there's always an air of innocence to what he does, he feels childlike. I think this is best seen when he reaches out to hug Akira after Miki is dead, like he doesn't understand how things are different now. Ryo and Akira's love can be encased in horror and tragedy and abuse, but at the core of it there is this strong and mostly unconditional love. They are such a great duo in my opinion and this is some Shakespearean tragedy stuff.. I love thinking about Crybaby so long after I first watched it. It left a huge mark on me. |
| I heard about devilman before but never tried to watch it. But after hearing about this anime adaptation I got curious and thought about watching it. The unique animation style is the main thing that gave me push to try it. The story was doing well before episode 8 episode bit then it took a massive turn I haven't thought the entire earth would be destroyed. Even tho the ending makes me sad but I cannot neglect the fact that it was started good ( can't neglect those first 7 good episodes) It is a solid 8/10 for me. |
| Easily one of the worst anime i have ever seen. I want my 3 hours back |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
245678 said: Why such a low note for such an acclaimed anime? Because critics and the audience are slightly different things. Not to mention the fact that the Western media have a strong tendency to exaggerate the quality of everything that has pro-leftist messages and LGBT representation. |

| When i decided to start it in my Netflix, my expecations was "a remake of 70's work wich i've never watched or read, well, lets see" Then... "what crap animations and drawnings, is it on purpose, does it want to be 'cult'?" Then... "haha grafic violence, was it like this in the 70's original?" And finally: "Wow, i would never know that this work is a classic that inspired both Miura (Berserk) and Hideaki (End of Eva)" I still didnt check the original manga, but i trust people above who say this anime did a better job on the plot and storytelling. So a just 9/10 in tribute! |
 |
| Strong 7/10 for me, slightly better than a pointless harem show, but nothing particularly note-worthy. Some fights were cool and the themes were nice, but it needed about double the amount of episodes because christ I could not have cared less about any of the characters outside the main 3. I do applaud the uniqueness however, but that doesn't matter when the execution has been done so poorly. |
| wow |
| This was the most fucked up shit I've ever watched. I thought I've watched some shit, but by episode 2 I was like yo, what in the fuck is this. I've no idea what the fuck I've just watched. 8/10 |
| Heard about Devilman before but didn't know anything about it so I pretty much went into this blind and tbh this was fucking great. I would’ve liked the animation to be more detailed but this style is very fitting. OST slaps like a mf. Even though I was invested, nothing really shocked me (666 as his unit number... y’all ain’t slick lmfao). Maybe if it was longer and had more time to build up like it would’ve given us more shock value? idk. Nonetheless, it was v much entertaining and I can see why this is still loved by a lot of ppl after all these years. Best characters were Ryo and Miko bc they are bad bitches. Akira is okay and Miki is the typical Mary Sue like her cat had more personality than her lol. Hopefully in the next time loop, Ryo can be happy. Poor boy just wants some love ;( |
| This show was all over the place, all the nonsensical nudity just felt like they were trying to be edgy, what was the point of most of it? Switching tones willy-nilly from lighthearted violence to serious violence, the pacing was just bad at best, the ending felt like a cop out, I really wanted to like this show but just couldn't. I didn't like any of the characters and all the problems I just pointed out really made me question what their intention was with it, I love dark animes, but this is not how you do it, being "edgy" just for the sake of being edgy doesn't make it dark. 5/10 and only because some of the scenes towards the end were done quite well. |
| 4/10, feel like I wasted a couple hours of my life |

| As interesting and fascinating as the story is ... I don't know if the original manga builds the foundation of the story and characters, but... the constant abrupt developments of plots lost me in caring for any of the characters. The concept of Satan reincarnating as a boy who befriends Akira (a caring guy who cries for others, but never himself) and subconsciously builds towards the extinction of humans, with demons ruling ...until he remembers who he is, leads to the death of Akira's loved ones and ultimately Akira himself, which gives him sadness for the first time for losing his friend in the end. To then, with the extinction of humans, god finally destroying earth once more. In thought it's amazing in its own way but... somehow it's lifeless with how the pacing and plots were formed. Even the animation is mediocre to an extent. I respect how unique it is but somehow it was poorly produced in a way that I never really cared for the characters and their development, with a lack of sense to some factors. 7/10. |

| It was terrible in every single way. |
 |
| when do i get to stop crying.. :( the more i think about the rest of the parts & everything makes more sense i just cry MORE.. |
| This is the most fucked up show / anime I've ever watched |
| That ending tho... |
 |
| So in this ending, they basically reference the first episode and end with Ryo making the revelation that he loved Akira. I thought it worked for the most part but was a little too repetitive. From eps 7-10 they focused more on the literal fallout of Ryo’s actions during the race at Koshien(playing the footage from the Sabbath), which resulted in devils being revealed to the world. I liked the first 6 more because that was before devils were known to exist, so it maintained a sense of secrecy among the devils that was fun to see. One thing I was confused about is if Ryo knew he killed Akira towards the end. He was just talking to him like he was alive. I know he loved him, that’s the “thing” he felt- but did he know he was dead? It doesn’t really make sense because Ryo is shown holding a weapon from episode 1 and it’s weird that he doesn’t know what death is? |

| I expected it to be brutal, but in the end it still was more than I expected. While I enjoyed earlier episodes, last few were just too much. Like, it was pretty extreme but at the same time felt pointless, as it didn't affect me enough. The most emotional (and overall best) scene imo was father trying to shoot that kid. All the massacre and deaths after that felt like cheap gore and shock value in comparison. As for the ending itself... it's ok I guess? Pretty much everybody lost. Not exactly my taste but it works. Tho it felt rushed at the very end. I'm also rather disappointed with art, or to be pricse, animation. Seeing the art style I kinda hoped for some cool animation, especially in action scenes. Sadly those were very weak. Overall I really liked the story and general idea behind it. The way it was presented... not so much, |

| Trippy.......is all I can say. That was a really thought-provoking ending Also kid Akira is the cutest, I love Akira (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) I just felt emptiness when I watched those last few minutes when they were star-gazing. Then I re-watched it again & I just started bawling..... |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The final episode had some awkward pacing but for the most part, felt incredibly surreal in a way and had so much going on to it, especially surrounding Ryo's characterization and the ending with him realizing feelings in a bittersweet, tragic sort of fashion. I had a great time overall with this show while rewatching it again, expected to feel a mixed bag opinion for this show but instead, I feel glad that the show's maintained the same level of quality that I experienced when watching it the first time. It's by no means perfect but it's surely adventurous, twisted and just exciting to watch in a medium where the creativity and thrills have been lacking in the past couple years. A unique anime for the generation its at, and a good adaptation overall while bringing in new material to help improve the world building, character development (especially for Miki and Ryo) and stunning choreography at times despite the budget not being out of this world. Plus the music was an absolute blast to listen to, top 20 soundtracks for me in anime I'd say. 8/10 overall. |
| I want to hate this anime for it's chaotic and violence!! (but I don't) So many things I don't understand but I like some episodes but some are so messy. The ending deserves by Satan. That's what he wants so he should live alone forever! 6/10. also, I loveeee the RAP scenes. |
 |
| Trash. The whole show didn’t follow the original storyline. It didn’t even explain well. This is why I prefer the original one. I didn’t get the Netflix one. It wasn’t bad compared to the og |
| This "anime" is a pinnacle of absurdness and ugliness on inside and outside, everything here was awfully made obviously in a rush by some untalented inadequate people. It's like FLCL (ugly and primitive) met with Shinsekai Yori (perversions are foreground when a pathetic plot is in the background) and Elfen Lied (brutality is only for an emotional manipulation here). This "anime" is kinda unique because it has high scores, big fanbase (are they just bots or BL fans?) and even some prizes but in the same time it's so niche and unknown by masses, so cheap made and worthless that even makers could only made 10 episodes of this garbage. Also this "anime" is unique because it became worse and worse with each episode, dialogues became more dull and naïve, characters became more caricature, animation became cheaper, music became less and less noticeable. It's another one trash marked by Netflix hand, so my personal prize for a such degeneracy is 1/10. |

| Makes me want to read the manga. Berserk and Evangelion got me deep into anime after all. The bit about dinosaurs being demons was interesting, makes me wish it was a big part of another anime. |
| Well I didn't expect an ending with many survivors but this is litteraly an everyone died ending. All in a all it was quite a dark show with a weird animation style. Still pretty enjoyable. |
 |
| Ryo was Satan afterall. The door back in the hotel foreshadowed it. Well, that was quite an ending. The art and animation got way better in the last episode. It would have been better if Ryo died or together with Akira. This had lots of amazing OST, some good action scenes, few likeable characters and it was kinda enjoyable 7/10 |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Damn didn't expect Ryo to be satan. I knew Akira was dead when he was lying there listening to Ryo go off. |
