Global streaming platform Netflix announced during the Netflix Animation Studio Focus Panel at the 2021 Annecy International Film Festival on Tuesday the main staff and a character visual (pictured) for the anime adaptation of Mark Millar and Leinil Yu's Super Crooks comic book.

Synopsis
One last heist. That's what they all say, right? Just one final score, and everyone can retire and take up fishing. Thing is, the jails are filled with super villains who thought the same thing, and got busted. But the Heat's in a jam. He's run up the kind of gambling debt that - if he can't pay it back in cash - will be paid in blood. Nobody wants to see the most beloved supercrook of all time rubbed out by the mob - especially his biggest fan, Johnny Bolt. And Johnny's got a plan to help the Heat and make all his buddies disgustingly rich at the same time. Unfortunately for Johnny's recruits, they have to head to Spain and rob the world's most notorious super villain blind. And that's where things get tricky. (Source: Marvel Comics)

7.82 is absolutely a good score, its above a 5, meaning that it is better than the average anime. Something that is "not a good score" is below a 5, not above. Also what has any of this got to do with Devilman fans' ages?

I was about to say I didn't know Bones is still alive, since I can't remember anything made by them since Concrete Revolutio, but looking at what they got themselves into, guess no, not really.

Deviman is hard to watch & understand, doesnt mean its garbage.
Yes, Yasuke is trash.
But if u tell that Beastars, Dorohedoro, Great Pretender & Violet Evergarden is trash, I think u need to refresh ur taste.
Netflix make a lot of bad stuff, I agree. But that doesnt mean they dont make good stuff.

how? WIT STUDIO AND BONES BOTH KNEW ABOUT IT?
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

Not everyone is entitled to have your opinion on shows and getting a 78/100 is anyday a good score.

Netflix is the publisher. RoR's produced by Warner Bros Japan. The anime was announced in 2020 and Netflix wasn't mentioned at all. It was suddenly announced in 2021 that they're gonna stream it. I can't understand why you all can't comprehend that Netflix didn't make RoR.

No, it's just simply a Japanese anime animated by Japanese studio and Japanese staffs and adapted from American comic (just like X-Men, Wolverine, The Animatrix)
