My Anime List requires more words in this review. But there isn`t anything that hasn`t been said. However, after that ending I was thinking of contrasting it with Evangelion.
First and foremost, I have Evangelion. There isn`t an anime that I hate more than Evangelion. Even School Days had a reason, it was the bad ending of a terrible game novel. The Evangelion is: ok, you have your religious references down to a teeth but your whole theme is awful and terrible, all your characters are awful too and there were probably 100 diferent ways of telling the same point with all that depression enveloped in depression
Well, Devilman Crybaby doesn`t have that problem, simply because is so bad developed and rushed that even slowing the pace and reading the original work wouldn`t fix it. But the anime makes more obvious the flaws of any point the author was trying to make. This is a BAD anime and a BAD plot with AWFUL development and horrendous ending. I could`ve rewatched Full Metal Alchemist or Cowboy Bebop instead of this garbage. Ryo`s motivations are awful, it makes no sense, even with the plot twist I cannot imagine another thinking person getting that motivation and THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS PLOT. Demons trying to destroy the earth and we humans only making it worse is kind realistic and also unrealistic at the same time. We humans are mudafukers about suvivability, we survived through a LOT, it makes no sense at all how humans react in this show to apocalypse at all, they are so ridiculous they went straight through the threshold and went into being CARTOONISH. I didn`t see one realistic human in that show besides the rapper falling in love with Mi-ko. EVEN THE MC, when his parents died was basically one scene crying, boom, next scene, "I`m fine". MIKI`s reaction was way more realistic after losing her entire family.
It baffles me how many people liked this terrible show and it is holding at 7.7 stars with 600 thousand reviews.
And still, is not the worse anime I`ve had the displeasure of watching. But only because it had Miki and the MC here.
