Devilman crybaby review

Devil man cry baby is a classic manga and series avaliable on Netflix, with its intense spine chilling twists to its relatable scenes this is a perfect watch with no downsides that I can pick. Not only does it entertain, but it devastates.

Devil man cry baby features the protagonist Akira Fudo an empathetic human who feels alot but is possessed by a demon. The series focuses on the challenges of Akira as it takes a relgious turn showing all the sins in humanity from things such as drugs to lust as he overcomes physical changes. We are also introduced to his best friend Ryo Asuka where he is revaled to be more than human. But as the series progresses there is a devision in both the friends as the world begins to spiral off and society crumbles into an inevitable rage of chaos.

However, it is not just the plot that makes this anime so well calculated but the deep dove lore of each individual character. Akira Fudo takes his new form (half human, half devil) and uses it to protect others and save humanity with what little hope he has, whilst Ryo is tormented by his feelings and doesn't understand Akira, whilst it isnt specifically said, Ryo seems to have feelings for Akira whilst Akiras love lies somewhere else for Miki. A deep hearted character is Miki where she is seen to be perfect. Miko becomes jealous of her and feels like a let down as she can never beat the joyous Miki who always does better. In the end they make a bet that if Miko wins a race she takes over the name of Miki. Regardless what's shown Mikis life isnt so golden, as she is perverted on by an older man who is relentless to get what he wants from her. Despite of of this there still lays a painful portrait as Miki the character meant to show innocence and hope is later ruthlessly killed. Each character is symbolic in their very own way as the anime shows the effects of sin and war as an anti-war anime. Not only does this anime show relationships but it shows the rawness of some people's lives and the ugly nature in society.

The most cog turning scene is the opening, which typically isnt expected. The opening starts of with a flash of the earth being exploded but only for a split second but this was intentional, this small scene is a foreshadowing that lingers through out the series. Where at the end we see this scene yet again leaving the audience to theorise. Akira lays dead and Ryo turns to him asking the ironic question "Akira why am I the only one who's speaking". Through Ryos rage Akira is ultimately lost due to his drive for power. This ending gives a biblical shocking story that Akira is being punished for his sins in a constant loop until his lesson is learnt through pain and agony.

Overall this anime is a gut wrenching watch that is intended to leave the audience distraught. It is definstly not a watch for children with its graphic episodes such as one in a bar of prostitutes but other than this it is perfect. ☆☆☆☆☆

this is something i wrote back in 2024 so my views are very different now, just thought id share this.

had to add the white text myself,since there wasn't any text for those lines.
