- The era of the hyper-violent OVAs of the 80s made it fertile ground for adapting the work of Go Nagai. Specifically, one most famous works Devilman. We at the Devilman OVAs of the late 80s and see how they are so horrifically beautiful.

Funny Story: I quoted the infamous. "Oh of course, it's my old friend Ryo, how the hell have you been keeping then?" Line to Kyle McCarley (Ryo in Devilman Crybaby) at a Convention, and he laughed out loud. He LOVES that cheesy Manga UK dub!
On a different note, I find it interesting how the U.S. fandom did a 180 on this OAV after Crybaby came out. I remember all the reviews of the 80s OAV being negative, describing the 2-parter as violent schlock with no ending. But now that the U.S. has proper context for Devilman, people have come around on it, and rightly so! It's pretty good in spite of its faults.
I've been a fan since I was in elementary. My mom got this for me at blockbuster when I was a kid (every tuesday being new movie night) and she let me pick out whatever. Honestly it's my favorite anime based purely on nostalgia and the only real media we've had for devilman for so long. The fact that it's just now being recognized as genuinely good animation makes me happy, but there's a part of me that's kind of disappointed and sad it hadn't been recognized for so long as one of the greats. The dub isn't very good, but all in all, it's still a wonderful story.
@@GroovyDude00 damn. That's how I was finding anime as a kid as well. Going to Blockbuster and renting Yu Yu Hakusho (the movie before we got the show in the states!), Fatal Fury movie, Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll. Some of this stuff NOT suitable for my age at the time at all lol.
I actually loved the OVAs for what they were. I do enjoy Crybaby but as its own thing.
The devilman dub is a treasure. A TREASURE.
@Natendowii
Huh, you actually got meet--- Hold it YOU MET KYLE McCARLEY AT A CON?!
Fun fact: "Сирин" (Pronounced "Serene") is the actual woman-bird hybrid creature from Slavic mythology. Sireen is a pair to Alkonost in the duo of "The Birds of Paradise", the first of which is moody and mournful, and the latter is happy and joyful.
Fun Fact: Kazuki Takahashi drew some inspiration from Devilman when he designed two Monster cards from this series for Yu-Gi-Oh, both of which were featured prominently in the anime:
Archfiend of Gilfer, who drew inspiration from Devilman himself and Zennon whose design served as the inspiration for Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare
Fun thing to bring up, TECHINIACLLY there is a conclusion to this OVA in the audio drama Devilman Armageddon. It's on UA-cam translated and has the cast from the OVA.
thanks for the information!!
Love this. Thank you
Fun Trivia: Sho Hayami, the guy who voiced Akira Fudo/Devilman for both Devilman OVA series: "The Birth" and "Demon Bird", also appeared in Super Robot Wars DD as well.
Ryo and Akira, the two inspired so many duos in manga and anime tinged with varying degrees of homoeroticism.
I love me some go nagai stuff. The guy is a total asylum of creativity and I love that
Asylum? More like madhouse!
Nurse: It's time for your medication, Mr. Nagai.
Go Nagai: MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@funkyweapon1981 too good 🤣🤣👍
4:08 - at least Crybaby gave the audience the much waited ending to this story, so I personally have no hard feelings towards the Netflix version of Devilman's adventures.
Shounen Hero Devilman from the Cyborg 009 crossover is best Devilman. He's practically just Danny Phantom
There’s something really special about this particular era of the anime industry, when they clearly had the money and clout to produce an entire series of the era, but the high budget loose regulation format of the golden age heyday is what gives these Devilman OVAs its identity .
underrated
Manga Entertainment knew what's up, that Dub is the only way I'll ever want to experience Devilman in english
@@vicentgalvan70 we must've fucked up!
@Demon Prince Kiavala honestly there's so much quote potential I'll just go with
"okay, open the door and let's take a swing at the motherfuckers"
.............
Fuck you.
(But seriously, I love that dub.)
Fucking hell!
The dub ruins the film. Subs are the only good way to watch this movie.
Is it terrible that I love the English dub more then the subtitled version because of its fowl language and gross innuendos, it just comes off more like stuff you'd actually hear ultra violent evil demons to say. Same with hearing Devilman say because he is still a teenager who is just hopped up on demon aggression and hes trying to sound cool & intimidating but is also partly out of it so isn't going to say something poetic or smart.
Cursing in the bunny scene is my fav 😄
No
Fun fact: Go-Nagai has made a manga adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s divine comedy
I have a sensitive stomach so i was not able to watch Devilman or Violence Jack type anime. The ultra violence anime was very popular in the 80s 90s it feels like. Because a lot of anime from the 80s 90s were very bloody and gory.
I would recommend the OVA Shin Getter Robo Armageddon, it's based off of the series Getter Robo that was created by both Go Nagai and his friend Ken Ishikawa. Its 13 episodes long and is about Getter Robo and its pilots trying to save the world from parasitic aliens, it has some good animation but the story is a bit of a mess since the original director left after episode 3. There are some elements of horror especially with the aliens.
It was interesting learning some tidbits about Go Nagai. The Devilman OVAs are a testament of how the types of stories Anime can tell and did a amazing job staying a more truer adaptation of the manga. I even like the dub in a "So Bad it's Good" sort of way.
From Twink to Twunk!! YES!!
(Plus I still love the ME dub of this OVA...it's on another level)
Thanks for another great video!!
21:17 killed me lmao
You summarized the two sides of Go Nagai flawlessly!
Hey looky here, a Devilman review that is better than a certain anime reviewer's who couldn't be bothered to do a background check on the source material.
This is Bennett shade, right? I'm here for it lmfao.
@@dabunnydabunny1243 Sage was such a goddamn SJW when it came to anime like this. He calls himself an "Oldtaku", but I've got him beat on that.
@@funkyweapon1981 I do like Sage most of the time ( will say Kyoto's intro is leagues better then his recent ones after he stopped using KMFDM's music), but yeah Kyoto did a better job and I thought it was an odd detour opening talking about "otaku" culture before going into the OVA itself. Also found it disappointing when he reviewed Jungle De Ikou he couldn't even make it to the final episode with the giantess element cause that got funny as hell I don't care how "sus" that anime was. LOL
I love Sage! He's one of the people who reignited my love for anime! And though I disagree with some of his critiques on some of my favorite titles, I respect his opinions and find him entertaining.
@@Kaizer617 He's a hypocrite that thinks he's better than what he's reviewing, assuming he actually reviews the anime that's in the video's title (no, I'm still not forgiving him for Violence Joe).
It’s so funny how the quality of Nagai anime adaptations can swing so wildly. On one side you have stuff like The Devilman, Getter robo, mazinger z and on the other end you get Iron virgin June, Kama Sutra, and Delinquent in Drag. I do have a soft spot for Kekko Kamen and the Abashiri family even though they fall somewhere in between
I dunno if anyone is interested in this but Violence Jack may be Amon from the Devilman 1972 cartoon. Violence Jack is canon only in his own universe but it is revealed that he is Amon. He does the same moves that Devilman does in the Cartoon and wears a yellow bandana that may be his shirt >__>
Akira Fudo is in the Violence Jack universe. He is that skinless Skull King. He is probably skinless in reference to Amon stealing his identity/body.
Skull king quote
"The skin on my face was stripped from me along with my memory"
ive read comments and articles on that. that's interesting, but i don't have the guts to watch devilman or violence jack lol.
Great stuff, KB!
Keep up the good work.
I just found your channel and subscribed after this, I love Devilman and love this vid!!!
Really enjoyed both your Lupin videos. They really are 2 of the greatest entries in the franchise and the direct oposite of each other. If you want to introduce someone to the franchise these 2 are a perfect way to do so. Both present extremes. If your taste lies somewhere on the axis these 2 movies are endcapping chances are, you will find something in the franchise for you to enjoy. Hope there is more Lupin from you in the future.
My favorite movies could also be described as direct oposites. One realistic with a serious plot and all plot points resolved in a satisfying way. The other insane without any care about any of it's plot points whatsoever.
I am of course talking about Voyage to Danger and Green vs Red.
The former being almost a Bond movie that takes itself very serious. No weird faces. No over the top slapstick. The plan is to rob the money of an international arms dealer by infiltrating his organisation with the promise to bring him nukes in order to stay afloat in an increasingly competitive arms market. The later being simply about the thrill of being Lupin. It introduces themes, oddities and topics only to go. "Hey, that's weird. Anyways - moving on."
Voyage to Danger was my entrypoint into the series. In Germany MTV just took 3 or 4 specials that were modern at the time, cut them into several episodes and aired it as a series. It was the only Lupin media available in Germany at the time. It really did have quite the impact on me.
green vs red was a movie i avoided for the longest time as the internet never had to say anything good about it. A promising premise with every Lupin adventure being canonized as there are just many many Lupins. (Interesting for a franchise that has no canon between entries) Yet it failed to deliver on any topics it introduced. Watched it earlier this year for the first time and loved it unironically. It's like a movie from Lupins perspective. He cares about one thing only: to have the time of his life every waking moment. And that makes sense as he lives life in a way where he could die any moment. Why should i have a stand-off pointing guns at each other? Let's raise the stakes by pointing my gun at a nuke. That's how gvr works. Lupin just goes with the flow without question. If something disappears he won't care about it. So the only way to watch the movie is to not get invested about anything but the excitement. Because if you do, you will hate the movie for not resolving anything.
Hi, I'm a recent subscriber and I gotta say I love ur editing hahaha esp with the two sides of Go Nagai segment
Keep it up, I really enjoy your content on retro anime! (prolly cuz thats my preference even tho they were made way before i was born XD welp to each their own)
I freaking love this movie! The dub is the only thing that ruins it. Subtitles are the only good way to watch it.
Great video.! At the right time also.
I like the Symphony of the Night soundtrack at the beginning
I love that you go through the history of how the franchise was created. Keep it up. 👍
Personal Timestamp for later : 9:53
Psyched for violence jack!!!
That castlevania SotN sound track though
Wait this mean that next vid it will be on Violence Jack?
I think so, really excited cause other anime reviewers had said they won't touch it or it will be their final review if they ever do. I've looked into it via wiki but never tried to watch it so I'm excited if it is.
@@demiraichan I've been watching anime since the early 90s. Violence Jack is pretty damn rapey. I know some people have no issue with it, but that's I assume why people won't want to touch it. I've watched it. Just wanted to give you some honesty regarding it.
@Porfirio Rubirosa I can see what you're saying about Genocyber for sure
Is he driving a Miata at 18:00, why didn't you mention that in the review?
Nice
I need to read some Akira & Ryo slash now; I'm sure it's out there somewhere.
You can see the whole manga Story Animated if you Watch these two OVA then Amon the Apocalspe of Devilman then Episode 10 of Crybaby and it still makes sense as a story If you do not want to watch Crybaby.
I really need that "stunned bisexual silence" scene as a gif
15:03 To be fair, when I go into an ultra-violent go nagai anime, I kinda want the dub to be hilariously harsh and swear-filled 😆 I wonder if it was a bit of an "outlet" for the english dubbers since they rarely could swear in many other animtion dubs.
6:10 I have never related more to an artist in my entire life than now.
Would anyone else be interested in an episode on a Shotaro Ishinomori anime? Just me?
Anthem makes the OVAS so fuckin' EPIC!!
Fuck yeah
Devilman is one of two favorite Go Nagai works the other one been Cutie Honey. PS its sequel Voilance Jack is the worst thing I ever watch that I call a anime
Yeah, Even Go Nagai himself hated those anime’s . But hey 80s bubble Japan money!
c see bubble Japan all I see is the anime Bubblegum Crsis is that wried 😅😅😅
@Porfirio Rubirosa I believe Evil Town I the easiest to have a talk about because Jack is interest character there but I dislike Humen suck stories I believe mankind is a beautiful thing and is a great thing VJ show us as tribble things
@Porfirio Rubirosa I dont know I read it i seeing the human with their arms and legs cut off and force to be pets and i was like HELL NO and leave that manga behind me
@Porfirio Rubirosa I think I should trying it than
Must have been hard to censor this video..... whoops, missed one
shoutout haircuts for men at 5:45
yunno the uk really gets ignored when it comes to anime releases, i had the ova on vhs, but we never get the dvd or blue rays for these older animes, a few sure but not alot its frustrating
I don't know if you've read the original manga, since you mostly mentioned the novelization, but that endless exposition is there in full force as well. I love Devilman to death, but I gotta say, so much of it is Ryo talking endlessly - that's my major issue with it. It's been a while since I've seen Crybaby but I've considered it my favorite version of the Devilman story because it seemed to flow so much better than either the manga or the OVA.
Yeah I loved devilman crybaby, and cyborg 009 meets devilman
So scary
Nice use of BFG Division.
Oh shit guys! Amon's here!
It's not a party until Amon shows up!
I'm no longer Amon! He's eating poo poo in heck right now! I am DEVILMAAAAAaaa hack cough cough ack
I love the Manga dub. I know its sacrilegious to some, but I really do love watching it in its edge lord dub haha XD.
Both adaptations are pretty great. I think crybaby is better just because it’s art style fits the story better
Heh. 'Titular.' .. I'm sorry, I'll show myself out.
I see the way how most people don't censor the area between Shirenu's thighs. Those feathers are like pubic hair.
I never read the manga but watched the ova. Its fantastic. But I really think sometimes is gore porn. I really hate the way they kill the little boy in their house. Is very gruesome in a way that feel more like enjoying the death of a child than trying to show something. And overall I like Crybaby more. Is so much more emotional. I actually felt empaty for every character for the first time. And even the death of the kid there was made in a much more sad and depressing way with much less gore. I also love that weird animation of studio Saru. But visually the ova is impecable. Specially the colors. And the sniper shot shot. XD
Why I'm commenting in such old video...
i only know this one with the questionable Dub. but it's very quotable in way with how out there it is.
Manga was perfect for Ciber-City, but not for much else.
the *stunned bisexual silence* made me laugh way harder than I am willing to admit.
...Why do I suddenly have a very bad feeling about next time...?
Oh, and uh.... not to tell you how to do your job...
But I think you missed a bit there...
Well I'm not demonetized yet so don't tell UA-cam about this error.
@@KaiserBeamz Should I delete the second part of the message?
Don't worry about it
There is nothing equivalent in the west.
It truly sucks that this was never finished. After reading the original manga, this was not only extremely faithful, but it actually improved the clunky, pretentiousness of the manga execution.
I honestly love these Ovas a lot more than that compresssed Netflix remake, these two almost perfect episodes are a testament to the untapped potential of the manga and what a really good Go Nagai adaptation could look like. when Sho Aikawa is far far away from it. Leave that to Konaki Chiaki.
Demons fusing to become stronger?
So Shin Megami Tensei is accurate?!
I think I am one of the few with the unpopular opinion that Go Nagai works are just way too hardtry edgy with his stories no matter if it is the nudity part or the gory part just because at the time it was not very common showing those elements.
IMHO. More with the other OVAs I have watched from his works.
And then there was Devilman Crybaby…yikes
