I like that on the surface it seems like Crybaby dumbed down the character of Ryo by seemingly stripping away his compassion, only to make it Ryo's final revelation laying beside Akira's corpse that he was capable of love all along. Akira was the only one who ever saw him that way ("you're crying too, Ryo"), and Ryo had to burn up all the love and compassion from Akira's heart to be able to see it himself. Shit was beautiful.
It's good, but I wish more characters got to see ryo and actually know him like akira, but not get him like akira does. If more people met him in the anime I feel like the ending would be better than what it is.
Honestly I’m happy devil man crybaby took as many liberties as it did and changed up things. To me, if you’re just going to copy and paste the source material, why not just read the source material? As long as it captures the spirit is the important thing. And I think devil man crybaby does do that. It just does it in a different way.
Well. It's good. But i think before having a story with a lot of liberties, we must get a proper adaptation first. Besides, it's just not fair, there hasn't been an anime with 60's and 70's style in years since Shin Mazinger Z in late 2000's. And "outdated" is not an excuse, as 90's had a 60's Giant Robo adapted into anime which both had old-school atmosphere and modern animation. I mean, come on. With Bioshock and Fallout games being popular you cannot say that having 60's and 70's designs would make anime look outdated.
I couldnt agree more. I like the liberties that were taken. The story in crybaby is also more relevant to our times now,due to discrimination being a huge topic now.
i think he was like the anime original guy that liked to run, while he lost control every time he lost control of his emotions and cried, the kid lost control every time his hunger got too great.
@@OGfromGst In Manga, there can be only one left after demon and human merged into one, otherwise they both die. As for Crybaby, it seems such problem does not exist, and two consciousness could possibly fight each other anytime. I think Miki's cat is purely a demon but she just didn't like Satan. Manga stories revealed that demons did have their social lives and sense of moral before went to slumber, but they were far less rational than humans.
毛利沢东 yeah, you may have a human heart as a devilman, but the instincts and urges of the demon are also there. The poor kid could barely control his demonic hunger. Akira suffers bloodlust. Miko wasn't able to control her initial abilities in the manga such as spraying her bullies. Yeah being a devilman doesn't mean you're 100% in control. Your emotions and willpower needs to be in check.
Crybaby is a more streamlined experience, which puts more weight on emotions and symbolism, and less on story/action/character complexity. And this kind of approach fits more with yuasa's surrealist style. The original manga had a stronger story and a more detailed world/realistic characters, reading the original felt like reading a novel (comic), on the other hand watching crybaby felt like reading a poem. Emotions felt more raw
I still wish we could have seen the demons fleshed out more. To me, nothing undermines an anti-fear/distrust message faster than having an entire race who is treated as evil.
As much of reduced role they gave him, I actually liked the change of Xenon not being on board with Ryo's scheme, indeed he was not even entirely aware of it to begin with
As much as I love devil man crybaby as I think its probably the best adaptation of the original manga so far Fixing pacing and character issues I think the manga handled the the feeling of dread better And I was a little disappointed when they didnt add the count down as that was my favorite part Also the death of miki was more horrific in the manga and I wish they had kept her final moments having to fight a horse of strangers in a closed in area is something straight out of a nightmare
@@squidsona8509 true, I never said I preferred the original I'm just saying the crybaby makimuras had a....... Cleaner death compared than the original
Well in the original manga their deaths were more scary and creepy (Miki's brother for example) but in crybaby they were more emotional and impactful especially Miki's
I have some ideas about that. Certain episodes of The Real Ghostbusters dealt with demonic forces such as Cold Cash & Hot Water & the ep Ragnarock & Roll.
I understood that Miki’s mother sacrificed herself to feed her youngest son. She was the one who tied the phone around him and in the tent turned on the radio to conceal him from the demon hunters.
Crybaby was very good and while I don't have a problem with the art style but I would love to see a return to the original art style from the OVAs, The Birth and Demon Bird, along with the godly music (granted I know that'll no doubt never happen but that's my dream!) I'd also like to see Seven Seas pick up the Amon manga and possibly the the Neo Devilman trilogy too. The art in the Amon manga is fucking amazing!
I want a Mokushiroku Amon figurine so very badly, I fell in love with how he looks like this weird Geigeresque alien reptilemonkey THING. Darkside of Devilman and VS Hades are seriously my favorites as far as the non-Go Nagai art styles go. The only thing I don't like from the original OVAs is Devilman's tail. It's just so... Lifeless, next to how in the AMON OVA it flows and coils like a proper limb instead of the original's robot cosplay tail. (says a lot that it's the only thing that got to me!) As for the OVA music, you ever checked out the Japan-only PS1 Devilman game? BEC has a knack for composing tracks that sound like they fit the franchises they make the games for, and they even threw in a second "plotline" that's basically full of shout-outs to the '72 anime in the Special TV mode.
Crybaby basically got me to watch Cyborg 009 vs Devilman and got me to enjoy both series. It’s nice to hear about the differences from the original source material.
I've been a Devilman fan since 2013, I think. I was really upset that the 2015 Devilman wasn't what I wanted till 2018. 😆. But even now I'm still hoping for a 2022 Devilman anime that's manga accurate.
You didn't mention how demons were different as well. In the manga, they were able to merge with other beings to become stronger, but they were stuck in ice during the ice age and started to get out due to global warming. In crybaby, they were killed during the ice age and became spirits which gave them merging abilities, Ryo was the one trying to bring them back
Tbh devilman lady is garbage. If they ever wants to made season 2 they should combined elements from violence jack, elements from amon and the elements from devilman vs hades into one.
I really enjoyed crybaby. I think the themes worked a bit better. I liked the makimura deaths better. Mikis death felt more real. The whole track and field thing worked well. Loved the ending. Bravo for accomplishing so much in ten episodes.
You see a bit more of Zenon in Crybaby as the leaders in those “demon council” scenes. The younger guy with the haircut as well as the older woman exclaiming about “that idiot” when Koda was exposed to the world.
Those Demon Busters werent in Crybaby... or were they kinda? I like to think the Spear-Rocket Troops as the end were a version of the Demon Busters, especially since that entire building/structure was modeled after the manga battle.
Two year late, but in episode 10 you can actualy see 3 "Demon Hunter" killing Psycho Jenny, but with an "Earth Defence Force" like design (hover craft and Shield Sword)
I still dream of an accurate Devilman Anime Adaptation in style of 70's science horror that original Manga had. And to anybody saying that this style of story would be too outdated for modern audiences... Well, look, 90's had an anime adaptation of 60's Giant Robo and it was done in style of 60's science fiction, and it looked so fantastic. Felt like an old movie, but with a lot of modern (At the time of 90's) twists, designs were from 60's, but quality of animation was 90's. I really wish to see a modern anime in style of 70's... but sadly modern anime industry is oversaturated in pleasing today's audience... I'm also confused why there hasn't been a 70's styled anime in years since Shin Mazinger Z and Enma-Kun. I like that Dororo has a new adaptation... but i'm sad that they didn't used Osamu Tezuka's style. Look, today style is good. But it's just not fair that they haven't done at least one anime in style of 60's or 70's anime in years. ...Osomatsu doesn't count, it's a comedy. I'm talking about serious plot.
My least favorite part was the Jinmen fight, it was so much better in the OVA. Overall, I did enjoy Crybaby, but of course, like anything, there was room for improvement. I just got the Classic Collections and Crybaby follows the manga pretty closely in some areas.
Xenons and overall appearance in Crybaby was a quick one but man I still loved it when he put the drop on Akira. That kick he did was just top notch. I was excited to see Jinmen, didn’t expect it to be that heavy emotionally wise. Crybaby totally caught me off in general on how much they modernized and how they changed a few things here and there. It was something definitely familiar yet a breath of fresh air. It had its flaws for sure, but heya, it definitely put our favorite Demon back into the spotlight, especially here in the states. Loved the review, still a big thanks to you for introducing me to Devilman years ago when you reviewed the series. Keep up the good work my dude
Maybe a new adaption of the manga might happen for 2022 just in time for Devilman's 50th Anniversary. Note: Not the Crybaby one, but staying truth to the original manga.
@@diejobWHO To be fair enough, I also too love and prefer Crybaby as well. But there's a bunch of Devilman fans felt Crybaby is loosely based off the manga which the readers felt it's too different compared to the Devilman OVA which they hail as the only anime that stands true to the original manga. For Crybaby, it does show similar elements from various Devilman series as well. Miko "Miki" Kuroda's personality, sexuality and overall domineering character, who shown jealously and love for Miki Makimura, seem to be strongly indicative of Aoi Kurosaki, a character who also shown rivalry and affection for Jun Fudo in the Devilman Lady manga, and the ideas of Zennon's three forms combining into one mighty demon is similar to both Devilman Lady and Devilman Saga. And a rape scene occurs where Akira/Devilman humiliate Sirene is the idea from Gekiman as well. I hope that this Devilman could at least get an anime adaptation for its 50th Anniversary in 2022. To me, it felt like it misses an important scene until they're altered or replaced.
@@Next-xm2dh It could be anything. An animated movie, TV series, or even OVA. But who knows what Go Nagai could pull something out of his sleeves. Just brace yourself of what's he gonna throw at us.
That's why I argue Devilman Crybaby is more a reboot than an actual adaptation of the manga plus its takes elements from diffrent Devilman series especially Devilman Lady manga. Just another universe in franchise lore.
I mean the director for the new anime did suggest he was making it if the original author was not constrained by a shonen magazine which makes sense. It did adapt a lot more and a bit better than some of the other anime at least
For me, Crybaby is an amazing adaptation despite how different it is from the source material. That is because it still manages to capture the feeling of dread and tragedy that the original had. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen, since I read the manga and watched the OVAs, I was blown away by all the new content and the changes they did to some characters, both in their roles, personalities and fates. It honestly worked well, since not only did the show surprise those that were new to Devilman, but it surprised those that were already familiar with the original.
now that we're a year out from Crybaby I wonder what people think of it. I was entranced by it at first viewing, but to be honest it didn't really leave much of an impact now. I think it was mostly shock value that kept me watching. I never felt the urge to rewatch it after the first time.
@@salsamancer I have heard mixed reception from Go Nagai fans & non fans. Cutie Honey can be pornographic depending on the version you're reading/watching. Most people like the 70s anime & Re Cutie Honey although Cutie Honey F has been getting some traction lately.
I have heard of devil man/devil man crybaby but I never watched or read. My husband and I just finished it this weekend. All I can say is WOW. It kind of left me depressed because I have completely blind to the series. I’m going to pick up the manga as well. Really good stuff!
Thank you. The original manga is what got me into the series many years back. While there's certainly a lot of Crybaby fans, I have rarely bumped across people who want to read the manga and related material.
Great video. While already getting the Manga all the Devilman Classic, Devilman G as well as Devilman Vs Hades manga adaptations all of these versions of the story of Devilman points to different pieces of information and how they can be interpreted differently. While I got the Devilman OVA on DVD over a decade ago from MANGA Entertainment, I didn't really know the original story until years later when I started finding out all the different versions of Devilman thanks to the manga fan translation sites like Manga Fox. Then there was the original Toei Anime that I got when Diskotec released it for the first time on DVD which I had to import it from America to Australia and I am so thankful I had a multi region DVD player to watch it. I also remember that in the Toei Anime, the ending theme was a song that was parodied years later in the Anime OVA Puni Puni Poemy that was a parody of Magical Girl that included the ending theme song of Toei Devilman anime during I think it was episode 2 of the Puni Puni Poemy OVA. I hope that Gekiman gets released physically else I may have to read it online from the fan translation sites like I often have had to do with so many manga series that have had no physical translated releases.
TBoneTony hey, I really enjoyed Crybaby and read the original manga. I want to read more of Devilman, but I dont know what manga i should pick, is there a chronological order or something to read the mangas?
I believe that Devilman Vs Hades is the next step after finishing the original Manga from the 70s. (however each version of the Devilman Manga is it's own separate story so keep that in mind when reading Devilman Vs Hades) And for a completely different story of Devilman I highly Recogmend Devilman G (Devilman Grimoire) as Miki plays more of a heroine role in the story. Out of all the other interpretations of the Devilman story (outside of the original manga story) this is my fav overall. And for manga you can read online on the fan translation sites, Devilman Lady is perhaps the best to read up in my opinion and even get Gekiman as the video here did mention it was Go Nagai's own biography of how he created the series and each chapter covers the events of the original manga as well as what Go Nagai was going though in his life when trying to come up with certain events. Such as when he was drawing the scene where Sirene and her other demons were about to attack the Makimura family, Go Nagai was drawing the intense build up to that scene of Miki in the bathroom all night that he ended up sleeping in the Manga studio all night and fell asleep on the table he was drawing it on. You may also want to check out a Devilman manga that is more in tune to the original 70s Toei Anime, just view the videos from the Manly Anime Hero (The Anime Hero) to find the one that is most likely that version and try to find the manga of that name. Or the fan translation sites that list every search result in Devilman or Go Nagai would be the best possible path to more Devilman content that have been written over the years. Also the most recent one Devilman Saga is another one to check out if you want something that puts a completely different twist in the Devilman story. And finally, read the series Violence Jack, as that character is more like a reincarnation of Amon if that can explain the apocalyptic world.
I liked this video man. Good stuff. I thought Crybaby was disturbing enough in its own way, although there is some darkness missing from the manga it seems. I feel like the OVA's focused more on the exploitation of violence and camp.
Looking back I did feel that was the weakness with the ovas. I notice both Crybaby & The Birth struggled a bit with the introduction of Akira & Ryo and the overall debut of the demons. The tone doesn't feel that scary when compared to the manga.
Great list, I actually forgot about some stuff of the manga (like Miko's role), and when Jinmen showed up in Crybaby I was very surprised because of the similarities with True Devilman and the OVA. - V.D.
While this series did nicely modernize the series I feel the anti-war message is undercut by having the villains' sympathetic traits largely cut out. It's a series that goes into detail about the horrors of war and dangers of mistrust and paranoia, that has an inherently evil race in a conflict that is a black and white "us or them" where our only chance of surviving is genocide, which is completely guilt free because the other side is pure evil.
Crybaby was fine in it's own way, but I definitely prefer the Manga for it's darker tone and horror elements (I also think that the OVAS had better music, I just associate Devilman more with Rock and Metal than Rap and Electro) Most manga and horror movies haven't shocked me like the ending of the original Devilman (here's to hoping for an anime adaptation of the Manga)
I checked. The name Demonbusters or Demonhunters weren't used. If the spearmen were supposed to be them they didn't have a name or the sci-fi gear; they could just be military.
From the clips of Crybaby I've seen, Ryo is just kind of an asshole instead of being charming and actually feeling like Akira's best friend. Also they turned a normal looking guy with cute hair into a weird twink and i dont like that.
Actually In Devilman Lady, Sachiko along with the other souls of Jinmen were casted into hell in which Akira once again defeats him and her soul is sent to heaven. It's weird because A. In the original, Sachiko tells Akira to finish him off because she had already died and holding back served no purpose, but in hell she's berating and shit talking Akira for letting her be damned to the underworld And B. Her soul stayed with Jinmen after his death despite them inplying that her soul along with the others would be set free.
Ahh, I see devil man really was an influential piece of media for Japan manga creators. You see the character in chapter one of mha. You see the ending in Naruto. You see it in yugioh where miki becomes yuugis childhood friend and crush. Such passion!
I'm mixed with the Jinmen one, mostly because I liked Jinmen being this despicable monster that ate people and used them as leverage to attack Alita, but like having the parents be involved more in it...I thought kind of worked, but I was not a fan of making the dad be Jinmen's host. Would have preferred if both of them got eaten instead. I do like these co.parisons, though...and the plot twists legit made my jaw drop...like holy cow.
Great timing! I just watched Devilman Crybaby yesterday. :p Can you explain in detail about that "foreboding sensation" Crybaby missed please? What exactly do you mean? In any case Crybaby is still the best adaptation, right? Because it actually follows manga.
It comes down to fear & anxiety. I felt Crybaby relied more on shock factor than actual horror. Many events do move quite fast as it was designed for viewers to quickly consume the show as possible hence with every ep having a cliffhanger. The choice of music is immersive but not every track makes you feel terrified instead you're bobbing your head to it which removes the fear. The art style is meant to grab your attention with it's odd motion and colorful palette. While they were gross & violent imagery it doesn't make you feel scared at what your seeing. For some people it did manage to make them feel sad & maybe shocked at its explicit nature but I dont think anyone really felt fear. While Crybaby does cover the most manga events than previous Devilman it doesn't have its ominous spirit. The manga was made during the Vietnam War & the story reflects that. Go Nagai relied on numerous shadows, silhouettes & some unique angles to help sell the idea of being tainted by evil & worry for the future of mankind. While 10 episodes should be enough time to cover the whole thing I felt reading the story to be the most leisurely paced. Reading it for the 1st time & having no idea what would happen the story has a way of swallowing you with a grip of history. The only other manga that gave me the same experience was Alabaster by Osamu Tezuka.
@@THEAnimeHERO I see. Thanks for detailed explanation. Is there any anime that successfully accomplished doing so though? I heard anome is kinda notorious for not being able to make viewer feel fear in comparision to manga or movies for example. Crybaby's episode 9 and 10 sure did make me feel empty inside though.
Probably Naoki Urasawa's Monster. Meanwhile Hell Girl leans more towards depression than fear although that was originally an anime first. The 1969 Dororo anime did feel spooky.
@@THEAnimeHERO I dunno about other anime you mention, but Berserk wasn't scary either. It did impressed me a lot though probably more than Crybaby's levels of violence and gore though.
8:05 Here is a correction with very strong SPOILERS of the Devilman Lady manga. Sachiko appears in hell still attached to Jinmen's body with the other souls, when Akira was helping Devilman Lady to lower the levels of hell so that she would leave that world, and after having a second confrontation against him (One very well drawn by the way) after killing him Sachiko's spirit is released and she goes to heaven. In fact, in the chapters of hell, Go Nagai took up ideas that he could not in the original manga, such as: The romance of Siren and Amon, which literally after a confrontation, he calls Akira Amon and Kailm tells him that he already It's not her beloved Amon, making that relationship canon in the manga.
This is manga/anime is disturbing, but I guess if the name of it is Devilman, you would expect, well, DEMONs, some religion, lots of gore and horror. Edit: I only watched Crybaby and its pretty good, still disturbing but its good.
Omg 12:51 had me dying. This video was awesome! Whenever i get into some new series i wanna want to invest time in where it came from and its other media works. Absolutely great as I knew Devilman was a long running series but i had only jumped into from crybaby. Was wondering if crybaby followed the manga or not.Would love to get into the ovas as well
Devilman is not an anime or manga to enjoy it; It's a message from it's creator. However I like seeing somthing like a fanmade good ending one day that doesn't crush our heart 😂💀
Even if the drawing, (in characters) aren't that good, it's still a good read today, definetly a classic if you want to e ter un the World of classic manga.
Ryo was my favorite character in the manga, imagine my disappointment when i watched Crybaby and he wasn't even the charming kind of asshole, just hateable. I also missed Devilman's abilities, went from melting stuff with his eyebrows to breathing fire ONCE.
It needs that Go Nagai absurdity. I'm sure if I rewatch Crybaby again, I'll find all kinds of problems. I know for certain that I've been questioning how are Akira & Ryo friends in this version. Ryo is just straight up evil from the start.
man i wasn’t planning on reading the manga bc the art style is so ridiculous, but now i really want to for the sake of observing the visual storytelling strategies. you mentioned the paranoia aspect of the manga a few times, and i take that to mean that imagery and certain layout schemes were used to sort of pull the reader’s mindset apart, pushing them further into the story as an experiencer, instead of just a viewer. i find the concept of that absolutely thrilling, especially with that three page warning you talked about. i will definitely be reading an taking notes on the original media. thank you so much for your work on this video!!
I really did enjoy Crybaby and I think is does a better job of Adapting and Modernizing a near 50 year old Manga/Comic than other. That being said I wouldn't mind a Mazinger Z Infinity style series that keeps the art style and tells the full manga story while making updates (like Miki being more involved and modernizing the setting).
@@THEAnimeHERO I'm still waiting on Getter Robo vs Devilman and Mazinger Z vs Transformers to get animes, the world needs Boss Borot riding Grimlock in stunning 8K HD!
@@AAAAAA-hv5qp i had, i felt the manga quite dated character wise, other then a few main characters, most of them are pretty shallow and 1 dimensional, crybaby improved this significantly
@@AAAAAA-hv5qp i mean, it's been like 2 years since i watched the anime, but i do remember i prefer the main girl in the anime compare to the manga, i felt like in the manga she was just a tool for shock value when she get killed, while the main girl in the anime felt a lot more like a real character with more personality. It's a 2 years old comment lol, i can barely remember some main characters let alone compare each one of them
I heard about this anime and now I want to watch it. Too bad they changed the setting to be modern. I would like to see the 70s setting in anime. Oh well, I guess I can watch Crybaby and then read the manga
Animehero is just me or did Yusa use elements from the Devilman Lady manga example devilman have the constant fuel and urge to have sex and indulge in violence, is a key point in the story.
Ever since Lady & I think Neo there has been more sexual elements in Devilman material. Not sure what were Yuasa's influences but his previous works did have sex subjects such as the majority of Kaiba and stuff like Kemonozume. The author for Grimoire did say his 1st Devilman manga he read was Lady.
The only change where I wish they hadnt made was Xenon TBH. He could have retained his role by smashing up a city immediately after the anouncement was made to cement it in the minds of the people witnessing his recording
@THE AnimeHERO That was a great explanation, though anything regarding DEVILMAN's sequel VIOLENCE JACK? I believe that many people in modern times that have first experienced DEVILMAN don't know that VIOLENCE JACK is the actual sequel to DM and I still don't get why that storyline has not also gotten a remake as well.
There's a new manga called Violence Jack 20XX that came out in Feb 2021. It's from Yu Kinutani; the same artist of the Amon stuff. I don't think any of it is translated yet.
@@THEAnimeHERO Awesome, even if you cover the old series should be ok, since DM itself originated in the 70s as you know and then many were introduced to the DMCB, but knowing abouth VJ would also bring a lot of knowledge to the initiated lol. Go Nagai made a very interesting series with DM and VJ as sort of a weird Lovecraftian nihilistic universe. He too had also made the Grandfather of all Mecha, Mazinger Z in the 70s and recently it received a sort of culmination in the Mazinger Z Infinity OVA. Great stuff man, keep it up :)
But in the end the demonbusters concept was kinda used in Crybaby, no? I remember Psycho Jenny getting killed by such kamikaze demonbusters with umbrella technology cutting through her psycho-waves.
It's a kinda. Those lancers did succeed in killing Jenny and are likely to be the closest thing to a Demonbuster but they served a different purpose. I think the Crybaby military took some scenes away from them. In Crybaby, there was no special forces going door to door and taking people away. The lack of the scifi gear was the biggest departure for me. In the manga, their approach was a big deal as they became a way for humans to fight back against the demons. But that same hope was twisted to fear as anyone suspicious would be "arrested" by them but in truth they were often experimented on or killed. It was the hunted becoming the hunter and the indiscriminate losses they brought. They scientists and the Demonbusters delivered the paranoia unto people and those frightened people are the reasons why Miki and her brother are killed. It started with Ryo's exposed recording of Akira's demon transformation which made the Demonbusters take Miki's parents. When people found out that the Makimura's were living with a demon, they developed a mob mentality to kill them. This was changed alot in Crybaby with Miki's brother becoming a demon/devilman and their parents getting killed that way. The social media posting of demons during the Devilman hug scene is what replaced the demonbusters and paranoid mob.
I really want to know about the final wars in the different endings, and when did god decide to do the timeloop, hell a video about the timeloop in general would be really fascinating.
I like that on the surface it seems like Crybaby dumbed down the character of Ryo by seemingly stripping away his compassion, only to make it Ryo's final revelation laying beside Akira's corpse that he was capable of love all along. Akira was the only one who ever saw him that way ("you're crying too, Ryo"), and Ryo had to burn up all the love and compassion from Akira's heart to be able to see it himself. Shit was beautiful.
Made me cry like a little baby 😭
OMGGG WOWW THAT WAS EXPLAINED BEAUTIFULLY I AGREE
Thank you for this explanation I couldn’t bring myself to watch the last episode after the heart wrenching ending of episode 9
It's good, but I wish more characters got to see ryo and actually know him like akira, but not get him like akira does. If more people met him in the anime I feel like the ending would be better than what it is.

Actually in Crybaby Miki’s brother became a Devilman (or Devilboy) since after he eat his mom he cried
Not really a Devilman since he didn't keep his human heart, so he just became a demon.

@@OGfromGst In Manga, there can be only one left after demon and human merged into one, otherwise they both die. As for Crybaby, it seems such problem does not exist, and two consciousness could possibly fight each other anytime. I think Miki's cat is purely a demon but she just didn't like Satan. Manga stories revealed that demons did have their social lives and sense of moral before went to slumber, but they were far less rational than humans.
毛利沢东 yeah, you may have a human heart as a devilman, but the instincts and urges of the demon are also there. The poor kid could barely control his demonic hunger. Akira suffers bloodlust. Miko wasn't able to control her initial abilities in the manga such as spraying her bullies. Yeah being a devilman doesn't mean you're 100% in control. Your emotions and willpower needs to be in check.

Crybaby is a more streamlined experience, which puts more weight on emotions and symbolism, and less on story/action/character complexity. And this kind of approach fits more with yuasa's surrealist style. The original manga had a stronger story and a more detailed world/realistic characters, reading the original felt like reading a novel (comic), on the other hand watching crybaby felt like reading a poem. Emotions felt more raw
HelloOnepiece omg love that view!
ilove the way you put it
Perfectly said
well put. That would explain the depressions I got after watching Crybaby
I still wish we could have seen the demons fleshed out more. To me, nothing undermines an anti-fear/distrust message faster than having an entire race who is treated as evil.
Miko is more based on Aoi from Devilmanlady and her relationship with June,also I'm still salty about how Crybaby treated Xenon.
Me too
Even un devilman lady he had a better role
True, I totally missed that although Aoi took it to more extreme levels, especially by the end of it.
I am THE Xenon. Give me a bigger part.
Yeaaah they really fucked Xenon over with how brief they had him. Oh well. They only had so much space per episode so I can kinda understand.
As much of reduced role they gave him, I actually liked the change of Xenon not being on board with Ryo's scheme, indeed he was not even entirely aware of it to begin with
the rappers were the greatest addition, every freestyle was basically a recap and preview of the last and future episodes
11:20 I thought someone broke into my house😂😂😂
I actually jumped i was like dafuq made that noise
I screamed and jumped. 😂
That took away my soul OML
As much as I love devil man crybaby as I think its probably the best adaptation of the original manga so far
Fixing pacing and character issues
I think the manga handled the the feeling of dread better
And I was a little disappointed when they didnt add the count down as that was my favorite part
Also the death of miki was more horrific in the manga and I wish they had kept her final moments having to fight a horse of strangers in a closed in area is something straight out of a nightmare
count down? What's that about?
Bro, the original 2 OVA are way better. Story and animation way superior.
I still think the crybaby makimura deaths are pretty tame compared to the manga version
i prefer the one in crybaby. it doesnt have to be super gory or anything.
@@squidsona8509 true, I never said I preferred the original I'm just saying the crybaby makimuras had a....... Cleaner death compared than the original
The anime version was very effective in my opinion.
Well in the original manga their deaths were more scary and creepy (Miki's brother for example) but in crybaby they were more emotional and impactful especially Miki's
The Amon OVA by far had the most gruesome version. I also think Miki's death was more emotional in the Amon OVA.
12:52 Well now I want a Ghostbusters/Devilman crossover.
I have some ideas about that. Certain episodes of The Real Ghostbusters dealt with demonic forces such as Cold Cash & Hot Water & the ep Ragnarock & Roll.
Ghostbusters would get slaughtered
How about a devil may cry devilman crossover
I personally would like to see a Hellboy/Devilman crossover.
How about a Ghost Rider and Devilman crossover? That would definitely be interesting.
I wish Berserk could get an adaptation as good as DMCB. Lets hope that castlevania guy can do it justice if he ever ends up doing it...
I also heard a potential Devil May Cry adaptation.
Oop, didn’t age well lmao
@@jeremias-serus yeah lol
What happened?...
@@luna6691 There were sexual harassment allegations against the guy who made castlevania so he's probably done writing.
i love that part you added with the poor guy listening cutey honey before getting crushed by koda
0:11 I just got flashbacks to the Devil man series were Akira lifted up her night gown and talked about washing her tata's
Ah, I see you watched that treasure of an english dub!
hunii Trash WAAAYYYYYY
I absolutely LOVE Ryo's facial expressions from the early chapters of the original manga....
Something about it makes me laugh.
SAME, it's so smug yet expressionless, and memeable.
That smashing sound around 11:00 + made me jump out of my pants.
I laughed so fucking Hard
Omfg I love your pfp
FUCK ME TOO
Jesus 😂
Same
I like the fact that you pronounced Amon correctly
I understood that Miki’s mother sacrificed herself to feed her youngest son. She was the one who tied the phone around him and in the tent turned on the radio to conceal him from the demon hunters.
Crybaby was very good and while I don't have a problem with the art style but I would love to see a return to the original art style from the OVAs, The Birth and Demon Bird, along with the godly music (granted I know that'll no doubt never happen but that's my dream!)
I'd also like to see Seven Seas pick up the Amon manga and possibly the the Neo Devilman trilogy too. The art in the Amon manga is fucking amazing!
The bullies were also given names in the Amon manga, right? It's been a while since I read it but I think they were given more character.
@@dragonwarriorz1 not sure, I do have the books but they're in Japanese and I don't know Japanese.
@@dragonwarriorz1 yes
Dusogi(something like that) and I forgot that other one
Same I love that art style but I think this one is good in it's own way
Reminds me alot of 70's anime and manga
I want a Mokushiroku Amon figurine so very badly, I fell in love with how he looks like this weird Geigeresque alien reptilemonkey THING. Darkside of Devilman and VS Hades are seriously my favorites as far as the non-Go Nagai art styles go.
The only thing I don't like from the original OVAs is Devilman's tail. It's just so... Lifeless, next to how in the AMON OVA it flows and coils like a proper limb instead of the original's robot cosplay tail. (says a lot that it's the only thing that got to me!)
As for the OVA music, you ever checked out the Japan-only PS1 Devilman game? BEC has a knack for composing tracks that sound like they fit the franchises they make the games for, and they even threw in a second "plotline" that's basically full of shout-outs to the '72 anime in the Special TV mode.
"and then Akira made one of my favourite faces"
you and me both, man. you and me, both
Crybaby basically got me to watch Cyborg 009 vs Devilman and got me to enjoy both series. It’s nice to hear about the differences from the original source material.
I've been a Devilman fan since 2013, I think. I was really upset that the 2015 Devilman wasn't what I wanted till 2018. 😆. But even now I'm still hoping for a 2022 Devilman anime that's manga accurate.
the fact that the baton represented tears is amazing.
A Go Nagai title and the word tame in the same sentence without the word not, I never thought I would see the day.
You didn't mention how demons were different as well. In the manga, they were able to merge with other beings to become stronger, but they were stuck in ice during the ice age and started to get out due to global warming. In crybaby, they were killed during the ice age and became spirits which gave them merging abilities, Ryo was the one trying to bring them back
I'm gonna have to look at the series again. I honestly don't remember that detail in Crybaby.
I would kill for an crybaby style adaptation of devilman lady
that would be awesome. Not sure they can do it tho with all the rape depicted.
Tbh devilman lady is garbage. If they ever wants to made season 2 they should combined elements from violence jack, elements from amon and the elements from devilman vs hades into one.
@i live inside your house But all those are from different timelines. I think it would be better to do one season at a time for each timeline
@@rosenrot234
Which is why i said they should combined it all into one.
@i live inside your house It would be a mess. I'd rather give each story breathing room on their own
I really enjoyed crybaby. I think the themes worked a bit better. I liked the makimura deaths better. Mikis death felt more real. The whole track and field thing worked well. Loved the ending. Bravo for accomplishing so much in ten episodes.
11:20 to 11:40 is some of you’re best editing so far. Good stuff.
The Old version of Akira looks like my uncle and my uncle loves this show
You see a bit more of Zenon in Crybaby as the leaders in those “demon council” scenes. The younger guy with the haircut as well as the older woman exclaiming about “that idiot” when Koda was exposed to the world.
So they made the audio for the last OVA but never animated it, damn
Is that true?
@@kennylauderdale_en There's a drama cd as a bonus feature in the Devilman ova which is basically episode 3.
right, but is it an audio drama because they scrapped an ova, or was it originally created as a stand alone audio drama from the beginning?
@@kennylauderdale_en Not sure. I will have to research it.
@@THEAnimeHERO Can the drama be watched online
Those Demon Busters werent in Crybaby... or were they kinda? I like to think the Spear-Rocket Troops as the end were a version of the Demon Busters, especially since that entire building/structure was modeled after the manga battle.
Two year late, but in episode 10 you can actualy see 3 "Demon Hunter" killing Psycho Jenny, but with an "Earth Defence Force" like design (hover craft and Shield Sword)
I like the rappers way more then deliquents mainly because of kun kun and them fighting for miki
You know the delinquents fought to help protect Miki and his brother right?
@@osakatales9228 i didnt know back then
@@osakatales9228 still like them more tho
I still dream of an accurate Devilman Anime Adaptation in style of 70's science horror that original Manga had.
And to anybody saying that this style of story would be too outdated for modern audiences...
Well, look, 90's had an anime adaptation of 60's Giant Robo and it was done in style of 60's science fiction, and it looked so fantastic. Felt like an old movie, but with a lot of modern (At the time of 90's) twists, designs were from 60's, but quality of animation was 90's. I really wish to see a modern anime in style of 70's... but sadly modern anime industry is oversaturated in pleasing today's audience...
I'm also confused why there hasn't been a 70's styled anime in years since Shin Mazinger Z and Enma-Kun. I like that Dororo has a new adaptation... but i'm sad that they didn't used Osamu Tezuka's style.
Look, today style is good. But it's just not fair that they haven't done at least one anime in style of 60's or 70's anime in years. ...Osomatsu doesn't count, it's a comedy. I'm talking about serious plot.
I've been wanting a identical Devilman, too. I mainly want to see the usage of the white silhouettes.
wether the manga and the adaptations may be different devilman is still the greatest piece of Japanese works of all time
I’ll raise you one Berserk
that to and fist of the North star and jojo, dragon Ball, sailor moon, gundam, etc
@xlrmeg21 feel better?
@xlrmeg21 weeb
My least favorite part was the Jinmen fight, it was so much better in the OVA. Overall, I did enjoy Crybaby, but of course, like anything, there was room for improvement. I just got the Classic Collections and Crybaby follows the manga pretty closely in some areas.
Xenons and overall appearance in Crybaby was a quick one but man I still loved it when he put the drop on Akira. That kick he did was just top notch.
I was excited to see Jinmen, didn’t expect it to be that heavy emotionally wise.
Crybaby totally caught me off in general on how much they modernized and how they changed a few things here and there. It was something definitely familiar yet a breath of fresh air. It had its flaws for sure, but heya, it definitely put our favorite Demon back into the spotlight, especially here in the states.
Loved the review, still a big thanks to you for introducing me to Devilman years ago when you reviewed the series. Keep up the good work my dude
The devilman crybaby anime is fantastically fun to watch
Yugi Muto the ending was fun to watch? Ok the fight was but still
Maybe a new adaption of the manga might happen for 2022 just in time for Devilman's 50th Anniversary.
Note: Not the Crybaby one, but staying truth to the original manga.
That would be interesting, but I prefer the crybaby version. It develops characters that would otherwise be pretty useless (Miki included)
@@diejobWHO To be fair enough, I also too love and prefer Crybaby as well. But there's a bunch of Devilman fans felt Crybaby is loosely based off the manga which the readers felt it's too different compared to the Devilman OVA which they hail as the only anime that stands true to the original manga.
For Crybaby, it does show similar elements from various Devilman series as well. Miko "Miki" Kuroda's personality, sexuality and overall domineering character, who shown jealously and love for Miki Makimura, seem to be strongly indicative of Aoi Kurosaki, a character who also shown rivalry and affection for Jun Fudo in the Devilman Lady manga, and the ideas of Zennon's three forms combining into one mighty demon is similar to both Devilman Lady and Devilman Saga. And a rape scene occurs where Akira/Devilman humiliate Sirene is the idea from Gekiman as well.
I hope that this Devilman could at least get an anime adaptation for its 50th Anniversary in 2022. To me, it felt like it misses an important scene until they're altered or replaced.
It could be a Movie Maybe?
@@Next-xm2dh It could be anything. An animated movie, TV series, or even OVA. But who knows what Go Nagai could pull something out of his sleeves. Just brace yourself of what's he gonna throw at us.
That's why I argue Devilman Crybaby is more a reboot than an actual adaptation of the manga plus its takes elements from diffrent Devilman series especially Devilman Lady manga. Just another universe in franchise lore.
11:20 that scared the shit outta me
Sorry, I was humorously expressing a point.
11:20 watched at 12am in my dark room full screen with earphones on and that startled me holy shit
Sorry. I didn't expect it to be that loud.
I mean the director for the new anime did suggest he was making it if the original author was not constrained by a shonen magazine which makes sense. It did adapt a lot more and a bit better than some of the other anime at least
The first two OVA's are the best adaptation of Devilman. Its a crime the same studio didnt make more of them to continue the story!
For me, Crybaby is an amazing adaptation despite how different it is from the source material. That is because it still manages to capture the feeling of dread and tragedy that the original had. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen, since I read the manga and watched the OVAs, I was blown away by all the new content and the changes they did to some characters, both in their roles, personalities and fates. It honestly worked well, since not only did the show surprise those that were new to Devilman, but it surprised those that were already familiar with the original.
now that we're a year out from Crybaby I wonder what people think of it. I was entranced by it at first viewing, but to be honest it didn't really leave much of an impact now. I think it was mostly shock value that kept me watching. I never felt the urge to rewatch it after the first time.
That can be an interesting topic; the subject of replay value. Were you aware of Go Nagai or Devilman before watching Crybaby?
@@THEAnimeHERO not really, i had heard of things like Cutie Honey but I just assumed it was mindless softcore porn.
@@salsamancer I have heard mixed reception from Go Nagai fans & non fans. Cutie Honey can be pornographic depending on the version you're reading/watching. Most people like the 70s anime & Re Cutie Honey although Cutie Honey F has been getting some traction lately.
I have heard of devil man/devil man crybaby but I never watched or read. My husband and I just finished it this weekend. All I can say is WOW. It kind of left me depressed because I have completely blind to the series. I’m going to pick up the manga as well. Really good stuff!
Thank you. The original manga is what got me into the series many years back. While there's certainly a lot of Crybaby fans, I have rarely bumped across people who want to read the manga and related material.
The rap was and always will be fire
Great video.
While already getting the Manga all the Devilman Classic, Devilman G as well as Devilman Vs Hades manga adaptations all of these versions of the story of Devilman points to different pieces of information and how they can be interpreted differently.
While I got the Devilman OVA on DVD over a decade ago from MANGA Entertainment, I didn't really know the original story until years later when I started finding out all the different versions of Devilman thanks to the manga fan translation sites like Manga Fox.
Then there was the original Toei Anime that I got when Diskotec released it for the first time on DVD which I had to import it from America to Australia and I am so thankful I had a multi region DVD player to watch it.
I also remember that in the Toei Anime, the ending theme was a song that was parodied years later in the Anime OVA Puni Puni Poemy that was a parody of Magical Girl that included the ending theme song of Toei Devilman anime during I think it was episode 2 of the Puni Puni Poemy OVA.
I hope that Gekiman gets released physically else I may have to read it online from the fan translation sites like I often have had to do with so many manga series that have had no physical translated releases.
TBoneTony hey, I really enjoyed Crybaby and read the original manga. I want to read more of Devilman, but I dont know what manga i should pick, is there a chronological order or something to read the mangas?
I believe that Devilman Vs Hades is the next step after finishing the original Manga from the 70s. (however each version of the Devilman Manga is it's own separate story so keep that in mind when reading Devilman Vs Hades)
And for a completely different story of Devilman I highly Recogmend Devilman G (Devilman Grimoire) as Miki plays more of a heroine role in the story. Out of all the other interpretations of the Devilman story (outside of the original manga story) this is my fav overall.
And for manga you can read online on the fan translation sites, Devilman Lady is perhaps the best to read up in my opinion and even get Gekiman as the video here did mention it was Go Nagai's own biography of how he created the series and each chapter covers the events of the original manga as well as what Go Nagai was going though in his life when trying to come up with certain events.
Such as when he was drawing the scene where Sirene and her other demons were about to attack the Makimura family, Go Nagai was drawing the intense build up to that scene of Miki in the bathroom all night that he ended up sleeping in the Manga studio all night and fell asleep on the table he was drawing it on.
You may also want to check out a Devilman manga that is more in tune to the original 70s Toei Anime, just view the videos from the Manly Anime Hero (The Anime Hero) to find the one that is most likely that version and try to find the manga of that name.
Or the fan translation sites that list every search result in Devilman or Go Nagai would be the best possible path to more Devilman content that have been written over the years.
Also the most recent one Devilman Saga is another one to check out if you want something that puts a completely different twist in the Devilman story.
And finally, read the series Violence Jack, as that character is more like a reincarnation of Amon if that can explain the apocalyptic world.
TBoneTony Going to start w Devilman G, Miki was my favorite char of Crybaby. Thx!!
I liked this video man. Good stuff. I thought Crybaby was disturbing enough in its own way, although there is some darkness missing from the manga it seems. I feel like the OVA's focused more on the exploitation of violence and camp.
Looking back I did feel that was the weakness with the ovas. I notice both Crybaby & The Birth struggled a bit with the introduction of Akira & Ryo and the overall debut of the demons. The tone doesn't feel that scary when compared to the manga.
Yeah it wasn't so much scary as just kind of shocking.
It would be good making a video like this for Berserk and adaptations.. Idk Just a sugestion. Great video btw.
Its been already YEAR!!
Great list, I actually forgot about some stuff of the manga (like Miko's role), and when Jinmen showed up in Crybaby I was very surprised because of the similarities with True Devilman and the OVA.
- V.D.
I've been getting really into devilman lately
While this series did nicely modernize the series I feel the anti-war message is undercut by having the villains' sympathetic traits largely cut out. It's a series that goes into detail about the horrors of war and dangers of mistrust and paranoia, that has an inherently evil race in a conflict that is a black and white "us or them" where our only chance of surviving is genocide, which is completely guilt free because the other side is pure evil.
In Crybaby, Zennon is voiced by Avu-chan who is also the voice behind the new version of Devilman theme
Omg
Crybaby was fine in it's own way, but I definitely prefer the Manga for it's darker tone and horror elements (I also think that the OVAS had better music, I just associate Devilman more with Rock and Metal than Rap and Electro)
Most manga and horror movies haven't shocked me like the ending of the original Devilman (here's to hoping for an anime adaptation of the Manga)
I definitely lean more on the Heavy Metal for Devilman. I'm expecting something for Devilman in 2022.
I had to comment again. This video was fantastic thank you. 🙏
The demon busters were still in the final episode.
I checked. The name Demonbusters or Demonhunters weren't used. If the spearmen were supposed to be them they didn't have a name or the sci-fi gear; they could just be military.
Can you do this for the original Baki the grappler manga vs the first 2 seasons??
From the clips of Crybaby I've seen, Ryo is just kind of an asshole instead of being charming and actually feeling like Akira's best friend. Also they turned a normal looking guy with cute hair into a weird twink and i dont like that.
i never knew there was a audio drama of the third ova
Actually In Devilman Lady, Sachiko along with the other souls of Jinmen were casted into hell in which Akira once again defeats him and her soul is sent to heaven. It's weird because
A. In the original, Sachiko tells Akira to finish him off because she had already died and holding back served no purpose, but in hell she's berating and shit talking Akira for letting her be damned to the underworld
And B. Her soul stayed with Jinmen after his death despite them inplying that her soul along with the others would be set free.
I'm gonna have to re-read that for I don't remember Sachiko appearing in Lady. I do recall seeing Jinmen & Sirene.
Jinmen claimed they are alive and part of him
12:51 this is pure gold
Thanks. There have been a few Real Ghostbusters episodes that dealt with demons. Collect Call of Chutulu, Cold Cash & Hot Water, Ragnarok & Roll.
I still find the manga better but this anime was pretty good
That onegai clip was on point😂
Ahh, I see devil man really was an influential piece of media for Japan manga creators. You see the character in chapter one of mha. You see the ending in Naruto.
You see it in yugioh where miki becomes yuugis childhood friend and crush. Such passion!
I'm mixed with the Jinmen one, mostly because I liked Jinmen being this despicable monster that ate people and used them as leverage to attack Alita, but like having the parents be involved more in it...I thought kind of worked, but I was not a fan of making the dad be Jinmen's host. Would have preferred if both of them got eaten instead. I do like these co.parisons, though...and the plot twists legit made my jaw drop...like holy cow.
Great timing! I just watched Devilman Crybaby yesterday. :p
Can you explain in detail about that "foreboding sensation" Crybaby missed please? What exactly do you mean?
In any case Crybaby is still the best adaptation, right? Because it actually follows manga.
It comes down to fear & anxiety. I felt Crybaby relied more on shock factor than actual horror. Many events do move quite fast as it was designed for viewers to quickly consume the show as possible hence with every ep having a cliffhanger. The choice of music is immersive but not every track makes you feel terrified instead you're bobbing your head to it which removes the fear. The art style is meant to grab your attention with it's odd motion and colorful palette. While they were gross & violent imagery it doesn't make you feel scared at what your seeing. For some people it did manage to make them feel sad & maybe shocked at its explicit nature but I dont think anyone really felt fear. While Crybaby does cover the most manga events than previous Devilman it doesn't have its ominous spirit. The manga was made during the Vietnam War & the story reflects that. Go Nagai relied on numerous shadows, silhouettes & some unique angles to help sell the idea of being tainted by evil & worry for the future of mankind. While 10 episodes should be enough time to cover the whole thing I felt reading the story to be the most leisurely paced. Reading it for the 1st time & having no idea what would happen the story has a way of swallowing you with a grip of history. The only other manga that gave me the same experience was Alabaster by Osamu Tezuka.
@@THEAnimeHERO I see. Thanks for detailed explanation. Is there any anime that successfully accomplished doing so though? I heard anome is kinda notorious for not being able to make viewer feel fear in comparision to manga or movies for example.
Crybaby's episode 9 and 10 sure did make me feel empty inside though.
Probably Naoki Urasawa's Monster. Meanwhile Hell Girl leans more towards depression than fear although that was originally an anime first. The 1969 Dororo anime did feel spooky.
I don't know how I completely forgot but the 1997 Berserk anime effectively portrayed the terror of the Apostles & God Hand.
@@THEAnimeHERO I dunno about other anime you mention, but Berserk wasn't scary either. It did impressed me a lot though probably more than Crybaby's levels of violence and gore though.
8:05 Here is a correction with very strong SPOILERS of the Devilman Lady manga.
Sachiko appears in hell still attached to Jinmen's body with the other souls, when Akira was helping Devilman Lady to lower the levels of hell so that she would leave that world, and after having a second confrontation against him (One very well drawn by the way) after killing him Sachiko's spirit is released and she goes to heaven.
In fact, in the chapters of hell, Go Nagai took up ideas that he could not in the original manga, such as: The romance of Siren and Amon, which literally after a confrontation, he calls Akira Amon and Kailm tells him that he already It's not her beloved Amon, making that relationship canon in the manga.
I love your opening. I want it!
The song is Hero Medley by Animetal USA.
@@THEAnimeHERO Thanks.
This is manga/anime is disturbing, but I guess if the name of it is Devilman, you would expect, well, DEMONs, some religion, lots of gore and horror.
Edit: I only watched Crybaby and its pretty good, still disturbing but its good.
Watch the ova's
Omg 12:51 had me dying. This video was awesome! Whenever i get into some new series i wanna want to invest time in where it came from and its other media works. Absolutely great as I knew Devilman was a long running series but i had only jumped into from crybaby. Was wondering if crybaby followed the manga or not.Would love to get into the ovas as well
Thank you for having a good time. The Ghostbusters easily came to mind when reading that Seven Seas translation choice.
Devilman is not an anime or manga to enjoy it; It's a message from it's creator. However I like seeing somthing like a fanmade good ending one day that doesn't crush our heart 😂💀
Even if the drawing, (in characters) aren't that good, it's still a good read today, definetly a classic if you want to e ter un the World of classic manga.
I destroyed my -10 second backward button at 0:25 ❤
Ryo was my favorite character in the manga, imagine my disappointment when i watched Crybaby and he wasn't even the charming kind of asshole, just hateable. I also missed Devilman's abilities, went from melting stuff with his eyebrows to breathing fire ONCE.
It needs that Go Nagai absurdity. I'm sure if I rewatch Crybaby again, I'll find all kinds of problems. I know for certain that I've been questioning how are Akira & Ryo friends in this version. Ryo is just straight up evil from the start.
man i wasn’t planning on reading the manga bc the art style is so ridiculous, but now i really want to for the sake of observing the visual storytelling strategies. you mentioned the paranoia aspect of the manga a few times, and i take that to mean that imagery and certain layout schemes were used to sort of pull the reader’s mindset apart, pushing them further into the story as an experiencer, instead of just a viewer. i find the concept of that absolutely thrilling, especially with that three page warning you talked about. i will definitely be reading an taking notes on the original media. thank you so much for your work on this video!!
10:07 That one didn't age quite so well...
I really did enjoy Crybaby and I think is does a better job of Adapting and Modernizing a near 50 year old Manga/Comic than other. That being said I wouldn't mind a Mazinger Z Infinity style series that keeps the art style and tells the full manga story while making updates (like Miki being more involved and modernizing the setting).
I want to see Shin Mazinger Zero as an anime.

Call me crazy but i think crybaby its better than its source material
Did you read its source material? And in what way it is better?
@@AAAAAA-hv5qp i had, i felt the manga quite dated character wise, other then a few main characters, most of them are pretty shallow and 1 dimensional, crybaby improved this significantly
@@vitocorleone2413 can you say something specific? Try to compare specific characters, with using examples from the manga/anime, to prove your point.

It's a 2 years old comment lol, i can barely remember some main characters let alone compare each one of them
@@vitocorleone2413 i wouldnt call this girl any interesting in both iterations of the story
I heard about this anime and now I want to watch it. Too bad they changed the setting to be modern. I would like to see the 70s setting in anime. Oh well, I guess I can watch Crybaby and then read the manga
Animehero is just me or did Yusa use elements from the Devilman Lady manga example devilman have the constant fuel and urge to have sex and indulge in violence, is a key point in the story.
Ever since Lady & I think Neo there has been more sexual elements in Devilman material. Not sure what were Yuasa's influences but his previous works did have sex subjects such as the majority of Kaiba and stuff like Kemonozume. The author for Grimoire did say his 1st Devilman manga he read was Lady.
@@THEAnimeHERO Thanks for your reply, it makes sense.
The only change where I wish they hadnt made was Xenon TBH. He could have retained his role by smashing up a city immediately after the anouncement was made to cement it in the minds of the people witnessing his recording
@THE AnimeHERO That was a great explanation, though anything regarding DEVILMAN's sequel VIOLENCE JACK? I believe that many people in modern times that have first experienced DEVILMAN don't know that VIOLENCE JACK is the actual sequel to DM and I still don't get why that storyline has not also gotten a remake as well.
There's a new manga called Violence Jack 20XX that came out in Feb 2021. It's from Yu Kinutani; the same artist of the Amon stuff. I don't think any of it is translated yet.
@@THEAnimeHERO Thanks :) that is great to know, I'm going to look for it. Would you cover the AMON Ova and Violence Jack in the near future?
@@EternalRoman I wouldn't call it the near future but I'll cover those series someday.
@@THEAnimeHERO Awesome, even if you cover the old series should be ok, since DM itself originated in the 70s as you know and then many were introduced to the DMCB, but knowing abouth VJ would also bring a lot of knowledge to the initiated lol. Go Nagai made a very interesting series with DM and VJ as sort of a weird Lovecraftian nihilistic universe. He too had also made the Grandfather of all Mecha, Mazinger Z in the 70s and recently it received a sort of culmination in the Mazinger Z Infinity OVA. Great stuff man, keep it up :)
BERSERK CONTENT HERE, PLEEEEEASSSEEEEEE! Love your channel btw!
But in the end the demonbusters concept was kinda used in Crybaby, no? I remember Psycho Jenny getting killed by such kamikaze demonbusters with umbrella technology cutting through her psycho-waves.
It's a kinda. Those lancers did succeed in killing Jenny and are likely to be the closest thing to a Demonbuster but they served a different purpose. I think the Crybaby military took some scenes away from them. In Crybaby, there was no special forces going door to door and taking people away. The lack of the scifi gear was the biggest departure for me. In the manga, their approach was a big deal as they became a way for humans to fight back against the demons. But that same hope was twisted to fear as anyone suspicious would be "arrested" by them but in truth they were often experimented on or killed. It was the hunted becoming the hunter and the indiscriminate losses they brought. They scientists and the Demonbusters delivered the paranoia unto people and those frightened people are the reasons why Miki and her brother are killed. It started with Ryo's exposed recording of Akira's demon transformation which made the Demonbusters take Miki's parents. When people found out that the Makimura's were living with a demon, they developed a mob mentality to kill them. This was changed alot in Crybaby with Miki's brother becoming a demon/devilman and their parents getting killed that way. The social media posting of demons during the Devilman hug scene is what replaced the demonbusters and paranoid mob.
My bad my volume at the Beginning of the video was 100%
Hey animehero can you talk about Ushio to Tora Manga and fujita stuff he's really phenomenal
now my mind was like!! man what the hell did you but ur self into
The demon hunters make a small little somewhat cameo in the Netflix adaptation, I’m pretty sure there supposed to be the spear man
Probably. It was that uncertainty that made me unsure to include them in that segment.
9:33 mines too, besides the *spoiler alert* my father died scene.
I really want to know about the final wars in the different endings, and when did god decide to do the timeloop, hell a video about the timeloop in general would be really fascinating.
16:06 As if the series isn't hellish enough, it curses the readers too sheeesh
One of my favorite parts of the manga. 😈
