Dove into this series without knowing anything about it. So let's just say the heavy sexual themes did stun me a bit. But letting the sex and the gore aside, I got to see a very very convincing, touching and heartwarming message come through. The plot for Devilman:Crybaby encompasses the trope I love in shows -- two sides; two perspectives, each with their own reasons, their own "justice" and the conflict. How the main character slowly learns more about both sides, and then trying to end it all by urging people to have more humanity, through the power of love. Sounds cliche, but the symbolism in the show, truly ties everything together well and delivers the message in a strong, convincing way.
Next, the animation. Honestly, you can see the director's style, but, not the best animation. Lots of scenes the characters looked floppy, but well that was entertaining to watch. Still, the unique style made it pretty refreshing to watch. As for the music, while I'm upset that "Devilman no Uta" wasn't the official OP, the opening was very "Netflix", and the animation visuals aren't that bad, I have no problem. Definitely would check out the OSTs when released.
This show has made me curious in Nagai Go's other works, and if time allows it, I will be reading Devilman or even watching the older series.
