Devilman review

I'm going to start this review by writing the story behind my motivations on getting to read Devilman's in the first place. I knew Devilman already. It is a very famous character and the image I had about him in my mind was that goofy demon in underwear. That image of him was something that distanced me from the series for years! However, Netflix started promoting this new series called Devilman Crybaby and it seemed to have interesting visuals. Combining these with some great opinions from my Japanese friends I decided to give it a try BUT I knew that Crybaby had to have some connections with the original series SO I decided to take the original manga and read it as a reference for the story. For my surprise, this manga BLEW-MY-MIND! How can a 50 years old manga feels so fresh?? You might think its old fashioned and all, but its story is impressively actual and has some unexpected (and shocking) plot twists too!! One of the most intriguing (and interesting really) things I noticed in this manga is that Devilman in his demon-form doesn't appear a lot. Maybe less than 10 times I would guess?? That's not what you'd expect from a "hero" - which he, is not? or is.. anyways.. reading the original manga made me appreciate even more the other content based on the original story from Nagai Go. The OVAs, Crybaby and I even started reading the other Devilman mangas - Nagai-san just can't forget the character, right?! This is an incredible history and as my friends told me before starting reading Devilman for the first time, I say to you: You really should read it and you will be surprised on many times during the story! That's all folks!
