spoiler free review!
I absolutely love this show. Possibly my favourite anime of all time , although i will admit this show is definitely not for everyone. Its horny, dark and just fucking weird. But thats why i love it. The art style is stunning , the storyline is intriguing , the characters are absolutely amazing and they have really good character development. I could write paragraphs about how much i love Ryo and Akira. Especially Ryo ohmygod im genuinely concerned with myself , the things i would do for that man. The music is on a whole nother level and it adds that much more flavour. I dont cry at shows or movies but this one had me bawling, the ending totally broke me. It really made me question human nature and morality as well as think about how insignificant each and everyone of us really are. The biblical references were also done very well. Not to mention the rappers, they were fucking dope.
Most of the criticism i hear about this show is the fact that its too gory and there's too much nudity , as well as the fact that the ending came "too fast". Being mostly desensitized to gore, it didnt bother me much but if you cant stand gore i wouldnt reccomend this. About the nudity, it came as a surprise to be but i didnt really mind it , the show is about devils after all. That being said, i dont think this is for anyone under 13. I would reccomend it to older teens and adults simply because i feel it would be easier to relate and understand things at an older age. As for the pacing and sudden turn of events , i think it was done perfectly. It shows how quickly something like that would happen if it were to be real life. It also made the sad scenes hit that much harder.
Overall , this show is phenomenal. 10/10 for me. However , if you cant take nudity and gore this isnt for you. If you can , please give this show a go. It is only 10 episodes although each episode will break you even more as it uncovers the dark twisted story. A heads up , dont ever expect to recover from this show lmaoo im still hurting from it. Devilman Crybaby will definitely turn you into a crybaby. Also, petition for devilman crybaby funko pops please?
if i were to describe this show in two words it would be masterpiece and absolute painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
