The most outstanding feature of the series is by far its overall scene and sound composition. The original soundtrack is very good, even if a little redundant, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better blending of sound effects, music, and imagery in any series across any medium.
Devilman: Crybaby ultimately tries to determine what humanity is, and under what circumstances people tend to lose it. It’s an interesting premise, and it packs a couple of unexpected twists and turns. The problem is that at just 10 episodes, things go from very ridiculous to very serious very quickly...Too quickly. This leads to some occasionally awkward and/or confusing moments where plot points are just dropped out of nowhere or hastily explained through dialog.
The series doesn't hit with the full force that it could have, but it definitely shook me, and is worth a try if you’re looking for a series with a dark, surreal feel, and don’t mind violence, sex, and drugs as reoccurring themes.
