So much great symbolism in this show. When akira transforms the evil and innocence combine to form the ultimate weapon against evil. Notice how he is under the cross and depicted under it various times to convey that he is basically a force of good using the power of evil for the light hence it shows him fighting under the cross(good) vs the actual evil devil's. The end where Satan says he made his greatest enemy says it all as he is the root of evil saying that against the ultimate force of good in the show, Devilman.
Satan isn’t entirely malicious in this series, he doesn’t say he “made his greatest enemy” because akira is strong and he can’t beat him, but because he loves Akira and unlike him, Akira fights for humanity which creates a barrier between them ultimately ending in the other’s death
Funny you read it that way as Go Nagai has on numerous occasions stated that Devilman is an allegory for war and no one person is good or evil within it.
I freaking love that roar at 1:20, it reminds me of a quote from the Wolverine origin comic “it was an awful, revolting noise, not a scream, but the birth-cry of a new creature that surely had no place on God’s earth”
honestly it wasn't that bad I didn't even cry when Mika got killed I just felt bad for her. I did cover my mouth when they saw what they did with her body though.
That low angle shot of Akira leaping into the air at 1:38 is so unbelievably well animated, and most of this show is well animated. God damn I love this show
@@gangstaelegantproductions2780 "lacks soul" is just another way of saying "I don't know anything about art, but I don't like this so I'm gonna come up with a vague complaint about it to sound smart."
So this was one of the first animes I ever saw. Interesting choice I made. Left me scarred. But at the same time got me into anime, and I´m glad it did.
i don’t think a lot of people see how beautiful this anime truly is, i remember reading the manga and when the new anime came out i already knew the story was going to amaze me once more, being animated differently. & the symbolism in it…it is genuinely a piece of art.
YESSS most people just say how it scarred them and it was traumatizing, or it was very weird. however it’s my favorite anime of all time and the show was done amazing. the meaning behind this show is so important and like you said, it’s Art.
When rewatching the scene again, the dead bird demon on top of ryo 1:45 seem to be a forshadowing of ryo being satan. Ryo fallen down and the dead bird demon's wings being visible as well connects with fallen angels, satan is one of them.
1:21 this music played at the beginning, middle and end. It’s what made me get chills after rewatching this scene, and cried a lot of tears. If you watched this anime you would understand.
i was too busy being confused when i first watched this i didnt realise the visuals were so good. How are akira and ryo so good looking in all frames lol
i heard its good animation and thats exactly why the art style and backgrounds are kinda simplistic. this is from gikkuks video and iirc he said something like this is where no key frames are sacrificed and each one looks good
@UghIdfitit's both really, 10 episode stories that r very well animated and do more in 10 episodes than most anime can do in 100 Just personally, crybaby is sadder and is paced much better, but yes both shows r great
This show fucked me up so hard... I literally have to imagine an ending when humans and devilmen win together to overcome the depression after watching this...
I can't remember the last time I got so hyped watching an anime. The godlike animation, the kickass soundtrack, the TURN TABLES, it all combines for such a raw, badass experience. This show is amazing.
The best anime on earth, rewatching it 9 times and more to come. Every scene has so much symbolism and meaning throughout THE WHOLE anime, the ending, god, the ending was amazing, just that "why am I the only one talking" ahhg it was beautiful, the most tragic love story of all time. Edit: It's been 2 years and I'm at rewatch count 19 Edit: rewatch count is at 27 now
This anime sent me through a loop. Basically I watched the first two episodes skipped to the end then watch the middle cause I couldn’t emotionally take it. Then I started reading the original work then watching or reading the spin offs, ovas, and just man I still can’t believe this series I love back in 2018. This is the show that allow me to start watching more darker themes
@@wudez Violence Jack? since Violence Jack in manga turns out to be Akira Devilman vs Hades was Mazinger Devilman(both Go Nagai IPs) crossover where Akira went to hell
What is there to be? Season two with no plot? People like asked for a season two of B: The Beginning. Look how that turned up. İt's good that it has no season two. And ten episodes. İt is more of a gem because of it

Recuerdo cuando lo vi con mi hermano, el capítulo era lento y muy explicativo, casi y lo ponía de aburrido, pero cuando ya estaba listo para desecharlo y dejarlo en el capítulo 1,sale está escena 0:58 . Ahí me di cuenta que lo que estaba apunto de ver en los siguientes capítulos no sería una serie más del montón, sino una obra maestra.
Me paso lo mismo, pensaba por que es tan explícito y desp te das cuenta que es parte de un todo mucho mas complejo y oscuro q simplemente tetas por doquier
This anime series was good (both for the style and for the staging) but the original manga is a masterpiece in everything! Grest story, drawings, themes and the ending is poethic! 50 years from the publishing in 70s but always shocking for universality of his themes)!
Man, it's been so long since I've watched the actual series/first episode, I completely forgot that's what Akira looked like before he got his demon powers
I know the highlight of this scene was Akira turning into Devilman for the first time but you have to give credit for Ryo pulling out a machine gun from his jacket.

A scene where someone is in danger and actually gets saved. That's quite humorous
If u havent watched it yet SPOILER!!!
He wasnt really in danger, so yeah still no one rlly saved
*spoilers about ending, but I doubt that's gonna stop anyone from reading this*

Everything belongs on God's Earth, again and again and again
Even Devils? Yeah no.
The Roar even now sends chills down my spine.
Wolverine and Devilman in a way are similar (OG Devilman as well) especially when he goes Berserk like OG Amon. So it's not surprising
@DevilRayRex666 Sorta like Wolverine roars especially Berseker Wolverine
