The ending is proof that no matter how hopeless it is, we still touched the devil's soul, we made the devil care about humanity. It is never hopeless even if everything feels lost.
I feel mostly bad for ryu as he has to keep reliving the only person he genuinely loves die over and over until the a different reincarnation of akira kills him technically
Yes, and i believe this Is simbolized in the show with the bit of the ill cat. Ryo try to kill It (if im remembering well) and Akira try to care for It even thought both of them knew that the cat will surely die. I doesnt matter if we are 100% doomed because there is still worth in this life to experience. Im sure the cat last days were happier because of Akira althought he couldnt change the amount of suffering in the end, just as he fought an unwinnable match agains the devil himself that he lost but at the same time make ryo feel love for the firts Time.
True, but it's also accurate at how easy it is for human to be evil. All it takes is a few bad people to spark that fire. That's why it's important for good people to keep pushing back against the bad ones.
Tbh, the real meaning of this anime's message can be something entirely different from what you described. Imo, it tells us that everyone has goodness, more or less. Anyone can redeem himself/herself. Everyone has the ability to feel sorrow. Everyone has the ability to love. Even the Devil himself can love. Even the Devil can become a "DEVILMAN" and a "crybaby".
If im right this whole anime was about Satan learning to love. If im right God banished satan in the human world and there is a forever loop until satan learns to love
What I got from the anime is that even when presented with evidence that refutes ones belief, some people are so convinced that what they believe is true they will deny truth even until the end. While others will accept this new truth and use it to their advantage. Ryo refuses to believe love is real and to prove it he plans to incarnate himself in human form and feel no love, but he loves Akira. Akira is constantly accepting truth and when presented with the fact that demons are real, he adapts and uses this knowledge and new power to his advantage. I’m going to rewatch the anime and probably revise this because it’s been like 3 years since I’ve seen it.
I think society is too obsessed with the idea of right or wrong, good or evil. In the end, we are all just human beings, we do good as well as bad things.
Devilman Crybaby is an anime masterpiece. It embodies everything a proper anime is supposed to be and turns it up to 100. The original Devilman movies it was based on were no less gritty but Crybaby gave the real heart that it eventually ripped right out. I think sometimes we need a good reminder of how truly lucky we are.
I was really touched by the ending all three times I've seen it; I do agree it's about the horrors of humanity but also about the dilema between humanity and nature (the devilmen vs the demons), also it's about hope thats why at least one group of humans could listen to Akira at then, and finally part of that hope is love to quote the very first line of the show "Love does not exist, there is no such thing as love, therefore there is no sorrow. Thats what I thought" words said by Satan himself once he understood why was he crying too
what killed me inside the most, is how full of drive and life the characters were in the beginning, and as the show progressed, all hope and light slowly faded into gore and despair. all of their lives were taken in seconds and all they’ve strived for was for nothing. like the scene where akiras uncle finds his child as a demon, and he gets shot down to pieces after having a breakdown. or the scene of mikis death.
Devilman is a story that always makes me feel sad and that’s what I LOVE about it. It’s not a typical story about a character transforming into a monster to save the day, but a bleak story about how you can’t save the world from its inevitable destruction. I should also mention, Go Nagi was inspired by the Vietnam War (that’s when the manga was first made) and how he feared it was the end of the world.
Not sure how this made you more angry. I thought it was much more sad. The last episode of 1997 berserk anime is what breeds true anger. I was super pissed.
No, the protagonist fights against the inevitable nature that you talk about, so there's hope just in trying even if it means nothing at the end. It shows when Ryo shows love(sadness) at the end. So at the end we have evil in us but love too, and is just as strong as the evil inside of us, you have to choose.
Imagine ur childhood friend who’s a prof. in the states picks u up with a super car or whatever and a machine gun and then makes u become a demon?? like we’re not friends anymore??
I think you really misunderstood Devilman lol it is a story about love and humanity even in the most horrible, hateful, humanless circumstances. It's really about even Satan not being immune to love.
This is the only anime I think I've ever cried to, I came across it completely by chance on Netflix and thought, why not? I couldn't believe the ending, I was honestly in such disbelief as it descended into madness thinking that at some point it had to turn around, and it never did :,)
I love this anime, one of my favorites, but every time I finish it, I get depressed. I make sure to watch it once a year because it's an amazing story and I don't want to forget it, even if the ending fucks me up every time.
The anime's message is "What makes a man human", and the last two episodes completely showed all the evil and goodness of those who are left to the chaos and those who decided to join Akira and called themselves devilman
I got this recomend in my anime list so I started watching starting it was a simple anime but when episode went on I was freaking shocked that this is not the same anime the sudden phase it took from humans to gods and then to demons
hmm sometimes you can let yourself feel things other than anger and disgust. the show deffo had a lot of emotions for me. But then again I let myself feel things and try to empathize with what's going on in the story. I remember a loooot of wholesome, feel-good scenes where you think ''ahhhh life is great, people are so nice sometimes'' and it all gets contrasted with some pretty horrible people living among the good ones. And in the final act the same thing happens but vice versa which makes it very poetic, you get most people being horrible and gruesome to everyone getting contrasted with some very wholesome, nice ones living among them. even if they are part demons.
horror and sadness was the vague feeling i got from watching the devilman movie when i was 7 (from what my young mind could get from the whole film). and then watching the anime when i was 19 made me cry a lot.
personally i dont think so because devilman crybaby exept the horror part it shows that the life that this two best friends had actually had a reaon and if you loo carefully till the end satan or ryo actually felt bad thta time that aira died beacuse since he was stuck in a cycle that would repeat in any life in this one he understood what aira really meant for him and the actual point of life
@@dreamyfacts8811 Nah bro this anime basically told us about Satan that how he was close to God he had everything he wanted but he wasn't happy with that and hated God for giving him a miserable life even though he had what he wanted he was just blinded by his hate and when God took action you know what happened He took away the thing he loved
That dark blue sky, Red water with that ending still fucks me up. I well just randomly think about it at times just like the berserk ending. Two of the best anime’s ever.
The true meaning of this show is how even the most evil thing cried because his friend and everyone has feelings and how God showed the devil friendship since at the end of the show the devil shed a tear because the only person that had cared about him was dead and he would never get to see him again.
I wouldn't necessarily say this is true. One of the core messages of the show is that, despite the inevitability of everything dying, we still care to preserve that which we've come to know and that's what makes existence meaningful to us. Our attachments define us. The lesson of attachment is a punishment that God repeatedly puts on Satin before restarting the world on him.
Akiras line in one of the last eps where he says to everyone “you guys are the real devils” really hit me because it’s so true with society and where we’re headed today……
I kept crying around the ending, valuable loveable characters dying brutal deaths. The cruelty of both humanity and demons on both of their own races, the brutality of humans. Humans are monsters both in reality and fiction, as you see in the show. The humans who are filled with fear and hatred killed countless innocent people. (Major spoilers) they even killed Miki makimura and Miku they chopped their corpses into 5 pieces separating the head, torso, legs, and arms. They proceeded to dance Infront of miki's burning house as they paraded with her corpse on large skewers outside of her home. And the MC Akira was left there seeing the people he loved and only had left, in lifeless pieces being swung around as a trophy of Victory.
This anime is very deep but very depressing. I don't think I can ever watch it again. Everyone dies horrifically and at the end even though it finally shows some good in humanity and shows there isn't just evil-- its too late. But the fact that the devil was able to love and regret makes the show that much deeper
Dude I honestly feel like Evangelion was a harder watch especially the newer movies. That shit was depressing on an entirely different level. I mean I've watched Crybaby like 4 times. Not sure I'm ever putting myself thru Evangelion again.
did... did you not pick up on love and compassion winning in the end? The earring? How at the end it's finally passed to even Ryo and even when there is but one person left alive on earth love will still survive?
As Mencius once said, all human beings share an innate goodness which can be cultivated through education and self-discipline, or neglect and negative influences. I want to believe him especially because he said this, as he lived during the warring states period.
Thought the ending was symbolic of devilman being able to retain his humanity. Ryo wanted to corrupt hi to prove that deep down all humans are evil and should join him. In the end, he wasn't able to corrupt the one he lived and was left dying alone in the apocalypse.
Couldn't agree more! The seed of evil is in human is far greater than the devil itself.. the disparities, discrimination humans had created for themselves will lead to doom of humanity. we will not be saved nor by god nor by devil nor any alienated being they have understood our behaviour, our thinking pattern, our greed.
Compared to older version the violence and gore in nothing pls turn on the 70s 80s version and 90s movie/ ova . The neck cutting scene was brilliant the screams

First ep : fine
Last ep : Wtf what is this ending no bro Akira rin wil the earth again be reincarnated

This anime left me feeling feeling despair and hollow. I'd still watch it again, sick music.
When ryo started randomly shanking people in the club, in my head i went "wow, he is the devil himself" didnt expect him to actually be satan
This anime was pretty... Interesting. Also how did this get so many likes
What app did you watch it on?

I would say it’s more of a tragedy rather than a soulless series.
He thought this was a s h o u j o going in?? Oh you poor soul, nobody warned him
Its a shonen but borderline seinen
Its not about destruction when in the end ryo shed a tear, he thought he lost the fight then realized why akira cared so much about others
Not sure how this made you more angry. I thought it was much more sad. The last episode of 1997 berserk anime is what breeds true anger. I was super pissed.
Pure facts
when i saw the scene of devilman is literally making my brain BURN and that is pure ANGER
yea ngl that was insane
Yeah i agree with you with that, this one is full of sadness while the berserk one ah nah we don't talk about that griffith traumatized me
No, the protagonist fights against the inevitable nature that you talk about, so there's hope just in trying even if it means nothing at the end. It shows when Ryo shows love(sadness) at the end. So at the end we have evil in us but love too, and is just as strong as the evil inside of us, you have to choose.
If you understand this shit it's the best anime.
It shows human nature and also a good plot.
I cried so many times
Imagine ur childhood friend who’s a prof. in the states picks u up with a super car or whatever and a machine gun and then makes u become a demon?? like we’re not friends anymore??
My man's got to watch some shojo anime if this seemed like one
its definitely with a meaning, thats the whole point.
There’s a sequal to devilman no one talks about. Violence Jack.
I think you really misunderstood Devilman lol it is a story about love and humanity even in the most horrible, hateful, humanless circumstances. It's really about even Satan not being immune to love.
Me watching the s1 ending if bojack horseman and the ending of devilman in the same day
Didn’t look like a normal regular shojo anime to me 😂
This is my top3 favorites, i finished it in One night and i was left speakless for days
This is the only anime I think I've ever cried to, I came across it completely by chance on Netflix and thought, why not? I couldn't believe the ending, I was honestly in such disbelief as it descended into madness thinking that at some point it had to turn around, and it never did :,)

Honestly I just felt like the anime was one huge high or fever dream
You didn’t understand the show if you thought it was about nothing 💀
I mean...I gotta say I 100% disagree with it being pointless lol. It offers all of the things you want.
Whenever you think you're on the good or bad side, just remember,
*If you're a hero on one side, you're the villain to the other.*
Sure, freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.. but objective truth exists, and some things are right, some are wrong, and some are grey
The anime's message is "What makes a man human", and the last two episodes completely showed all the evil and goodness of those who are left to the chaos and those who decided to join Akira and called themselves devilman
the moment i saw they jiggling around with Miki's head i cried so hard
I got this recomend in my anime list so I started watching starting it was a simple anime but when episode went on I was freaking shocked that this is not the same anime the sudden phase it took from humans to gods and then to demons
You’d be confuse if you miss a episode real talk like when did that fool become a devil

“Without meaning” yeah man id rewatch the show and rethink that a bit harder next time.
It’s…. It’s not shoujo but ok lmao
It was so depressing. I felt so weird after watching this. If you want to watch this anime you should prepare your heart for anything
Whenever I hear about this anime I remember miki and spike scene man😢
This anime shows that, the humans are the real devils 😢😢😢
I was left sad and empty wanting more from the ending I fell asleep but then began to have nightmare smh
I was 9 when I first watched it and my first response to "did you understand the moral? " was "we are the true monsters. "
"Akria, why am I the only one speaking?"
Anime fans finally discovering sad stories and shows that critic something
This show traumatized me I saw the first ep and still continued I truly regret it 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Bro its a social critic of how destructive humanity is
Ending made me cry for sure
Literally finished this last night and I audibly said “what the fuck” like 5 times, super depressing, glad I watched it but once is enough. 10/10
It was so disturbing, but i have to say a good anime indeed
Akiras line in one of the last eps where he says to everyone “you guys are the real devils” really hit me because it’s so true with society and where we’re headed today……

It's a story about chaos fighting chaos which obviously resulted chaos
Not really lol
did... did you not pick up on love and compassion winning in the end? The earring? How at the end it's finally passed to even Ryo and even when there is but one person left alive on earth love will still survive?
This actually shows that the small good that we instill on others can lead to changing even the devils heart..
I don't think a single person on Earth other than this man went into Devilman Crybaby thinking it was a Shojo anime.

“You’re crying too”
It's worth it trust me
The ending threw me off gaurd.. everyone just died
shoujo?
Compared to older version the violence and gore in nothing pls turn on the 70s 80s version and 90s movie/ ova .

Honestly I loved the show but the ending left me speechless
First episode of goblin Slayer got me. Now the little boy and his sister 💀
i was in tears when humans brutaly killed miki
and i still cant get over it that hits hard
but its still a good anime tho
10 ep this show is a work of art its my top 2 probably forever
I was a completely different person before this anime, the human being, as portrayed... can indeed become that
I almost teared tf up at the end
