Katsura's a yandere
Sekai is a hoe
Setsuna's a poodle
Taisuke's a bro
Nanami is Kanbaru
Otome's a bitch
Makoto has negative braincells and all he wants is tits.


Makoto is the embodyment of " dude what the fuck? " moments :
... Everytime he cheats on his gf with someone " dude, what the fuck "
Whenever he bangs someone and asks for more " dude...what the fuck "
When he impregnates a girl, doesn't give a shit and goes to insert himself in 5 more chicks..." dude...wHat THeFuCJk "
Every time he says anythin or tries to socialize with other humans is a " DudUE whajTaE ThhE FIuCk?? "
EVERY TIME HE BREATHES IS A " Dude...not cool "



This man is a nation-wide phenomenon - for some stupid reason, girls swarm around him like flies, and he gets laid twice every episode in the later stage of the anime. My dude is so horny, they should change the phrase "being horny on main" into "Makoto syndrome" because this man only thinks of booty all the time (literally) and doesn't give a flying fuck about consequenses, he just "Itadakimasu" 's a classmate's ass and zooms off to his next victim without even putting his pants back on.

Conclusion?
Makoto is Monke brain

Watching this alone is borderline torture. Watching this with a friend is torture with some fun, so please do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece with someone else, it will be way easier to endure and you might even enjoy it a little, but I can't guarantee you won't come out scarred for life.

And to the people who genuinely, seriously, wholeheartedly gave this show more than a 6 - you are either mentally insane or you just have trash taste.

There you go. I said it. You can try and trash talk me on my profile. I don't care.







But if you gave this show a 10 for the meme I totally agree with you

I just read the most "upvoted" review that was bashing this anime to the ground so I decided to write a review (basically defending the show) sharing my opinion and explaining some of the things that, that reviewer totally misunderstood or just didn't care to understand.

[MINOR SPOILER WARNING]

Story 8/10 : The plot is decent, it isn't some "Quentin Tarantino Masterpiece", but it does the job well. The pacing is good, the events taking place always have something to add to the main scheme of things. They also add small details from the real world and politics.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The questioning of humanity's ability to descend into chaos ... and violence and whether or not human beings are worth saving at all is not new. It's been done over and over again, which is fine, but at least develop the story. Every decent anime would at least have a decent backstory"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a quote taken from the review mentioned in the beginning and I wanted to adress it. Yes, the main point of the series has been REPEATED over and over by OTHER shows, the devilman manga is one of the first source materials showcasing an apocalyptic setting (being released in 1971) which then inspired well known works like Neon Genesis Evangelion. Devilman crybaby isn't a copy pasta - it is THE original.

Art and Sound 9/10 : You know when you go to the art gallery and see paintings of plains, meadows, montains e.t.c and then you see a painting or a sculpture that is just so out of the ordinary, so outrageous. Standing out so proudly you could think It's just trying to show of, but it's somehow refreshing, to see something so different from all the other repeatedly plain paintings? That's the only way I can describe the animation in this show, It's unorthodox, yes, it is weird, maybe even creepy at times, so I can see how some people might get put off , however, it gives the anime a very varied and interesting feel to its world. It can shift the scene from a silly conersation to a wild and chaotic fight in an instant. It is part of the reason why there was so much uncensored nudity many people were so displeased with. And why wouldn't they be. This show displays more nudity than arguably even Interspecies reviewers. Sex scenes didn't look erotic at all. They were made violent and animal-like to showcase how primal and simple minded humans are if you strip them of their limitations and social norms that they impose upon themselves.

The sound and music are absolutely remarkable, you don't often get too see an anime that has such fiting music to compliment the menacing, mysterious, apocalyptic atmosphere. All the tracks are absolute head boppers and they fit in perfectly.
Now another quote :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's address the English dialogue. Can we stop it? If you can't speak English, just stick with Japanese and subtitle it. The English dialogue was so cringy and unnecessary. Just stop it."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn't that big of a deal, but I still wanted to mention it.
In my opinion the English was bearable. Don't get me wrong, It was obviously not perfect, but many shows fail at making the english dialogue even sound english at all. I'm sure you've already seen many shows do way worse than this. The show also tried doing Russian dialogue so that is also worth some praise, in fact they managed to do it better than the english one.
But for real though, if you are upset about THAT level of english, then it is obvious that you haven't seen enough anime. *Ahemm...says the guy who hasn't reached his first hundred yet*. But my point still stands.


Characters 8/10 : The main character Akira is not complex, but his simplicity is what makes him so endearing. He is a pure, kind and an extremely empathetic person turned into one of the most powerful devils and manipulated in pretext of "saving" humanity from demons. He experiences various horrible hardships ( like come on, imagine being in his place ) in order to protect his kind and his family. He is a tragic and a decently written character.

Ryo - ...I don't know what to say about this guy, he is an unstable, sociopath genius, every single episode you see him say "It's for the sake of humanity" and then proceed to do something completely inhumane and intolerable. And with each time, his actions get more and more severe and troublesome. His transition from being a precious childhood friend to a heartless villain is smooth as hell. He is the main driving force of the story and overall an amazing villain.

Miki is the main girl of the show and in the end the only one you will care about when shit hits the fan. As a character she is mostly there to support the mc Akira and add reason to his actions. Her honesty and desire for justice compliment her airhead-like attitude, which makes her a bubble of happines and positivity strong enough to compensate for the constant hatred, fear and sorrow that everyone around her experiences.
Now onto the supporting cast
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's with the constant rapping in the first few episodes? We get it, some kid likes to rap. Congratulations! Can we develop a story now?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the show everytime the plot advances a bunch of guys appear and start rapping in the background. To put it simply - each time the plot advances so drastically that it changes the world of the show, these guys come around and fill us in on what the people are doing, how are they reacting, what they think is good, what is bad, why they think that way e.t.c. They develop the world around them while also forming their personality as a group. Being able to understand and accept harsh reality and fight it, to think open mindedly, that is why when everyone has lost their minds, this bunch were able to keep their sanity. It is in my opinion an amazing and creative way to develop one set group of characters.



Enjoyment 10/10 : I loved this anime. It had its issues, but it definitely didn't deserve as much beating as it was given in some reviews.

Overall 9/10 : It is not meant for everyone - some will hate it, some (like me) will praise it, but it is undeniably one of the most distinct and unique shows that you will find. The animation is it's own thing, the music is otherworldly, an absolute vibe and anyone denying it is either lying or fucking lying. If you can ignore extreme violence, nudity and some weird scenes, I'm sure you'll enjoy this show. And at the end you will cry inside like the little crybaby you are.

Thanks for reading my endless rant about Devilman Crybaby
