Devilman is a strange series. 39 episodes long and directed by Tomoharu Katsumata, Devilman is an adaptation of the very popular Go Nagai manga of the same name. However, the manga only started publishing about a month before the anime was released. Basically what this means is that Devilman is not so much an adaptation of the manga as it's just using the character of Devilman. The anime is actually more of an adaptation of Nagai's other manga called Demon Lord Dante. Never the less, Devilman is a classic, so I decided to give the anime a shot.
Devilman is about, well, Devilman. A boy named Akira Fudo goes to the himalayas with his father. There his father is killed and Akira gets possessed by Devilman. And that's basically it. After that cue monster of the week type tokustsu show and pair that with ridiculous scenes that you are not sure if they are supposed to be funny or horrific. It was really a strange show and not at all what I was expecting from "Devilman".
The first thing I noticed about this show was that visually, the show was not very good. The production was just a mess. For example there were multiple times where they didn't remove previously used key frames, so they just hung around on screen. After 10 episodes I felt I had seen enough of this show. It did give me a few laugh in the beginning, but as soon as you get used to the ridiculousness of the show it just completely stops being fun. I did not enjoy watching this show and because of that I could not make myself watch more than the 10 episodes I have. Overall I was very disappointed.
