Devilman Crybaby (stylized as DEVILMAN crybaby) is a Japanese anime series based on Go Nagai's mangaDevilman. It was directed by Masaaki Yuasa and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, and premiered on January 5, 2018, available for worldwide streaming on Netflix as an original series.
Plot[edit]
In the series, Akira Fudo is informed by his best friend, Ryo Asuka, that an ancient race of demons has returned to take back the world from humans. Believing that the only way to defeat the demons is to incorporate their powers, Ryo suggests to Akira that he unite with a demon. Succeeding in doing so, Akira transforms into Devilman, possessing the powers of a demon but retaining the soul of a human.
The series is more of a direct anime adaptation of its source material than previous works, covering the entire span of the manga. However, many alterations were made to the plot, such as a modern setting, the addition of original characters, and different characterizations.
Cast and characters[edit]
- Akira Fudo (不動明)
- Voiced by: Kōki Uchiyama,[2] Satoshi Yamazaki (child) (Japanese); Griffin Burns[3] (English)
- The main protagonist of the series, Akira is a kind and overly sensitive young man who is prone to crying when seeing others in pain. After reuniting with his childhood friend Ryo, he becomes Devilman after the demon Amon fails to possess his body, giving Akira full control over his power as the titular Devilman. Akira's transition caused him to adopt some traits of Amon's personality, the demon's courage, cunning, and arrogance while retaining his empathy. Despite initially working with Ryo to stop the demons, Akira eventually finds himself betrayed with his exposure causing the deaths of his friends at the hands of a xenophobic mob. It was only after learning Ryo's true identity and plan that Akira ended their friendship and went to war with Satan in an attempt to save humanity, only to be killed in the final battle.
- Ryo Asuka (飛鳥了)
- Voiced by: Ayumu Murase,[2] Akira Fujimura (child) (Japanese); Kyle McCarley[3] (English)
- A child prodigy and Akira's best friend, Ryo recruits Akira to his cause of exposing the existence of demons to the world. Cold and calculating, Ryo will do whatever he feels is necessary to accomplish his goals while also protecting Akira's secret. He is later revealed to be the reincarnation of the series antagonist Satan, explaining his intention to wipe out humanity and defeat God while claiming that he made Akira a Devilman so they can live in the new world together. After Akira ends their friendship, Ryo leads the genocide of humanity and easily overpowers both the forces of mankind and the Devilman army. Ryo eventually kills Akira, admitting his feelings for Akira before realizing what he had done and mourns his friend as the angels descend to initiate a time loop that will result in everything being reset and repeated.
- Miki Makimura (牧村美樹)
- Voiced by: Megumi Han[2] (Japanese); Cristina Vee[3] (English)
- A popular track star and Akira's childhood friend, Miki is a kindhearted girl who cares for Akira. She displays a strong and independent attitude and is not afraid to speak her mind.

- Miki 'Miko' Kuroda (ミーコ/黒田ミキ)
- Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu[2] (Japanese); Cherami Leigh[3] (English)
- A childhood friend of Akira and Miki, Miko has repressed feelings of anger and jealousy towards Miki due to their long history of doing a track together. These feelings eventually allow her to remain herself after being possessed by a spider demon following a rave, becoming a Devilman. As a Devilman, Miko became self-confident enough to freely speak out her mind as she openly resented Miki in front of her friends. She eventually joins Akira and Koda after finding the latter hiding out near the stadium. She later saves Akira's life after Koda's betrayal and is asked to look after everyone in the Makimura's home following Ryo's betrayal. After an insane mob attacks them, Miki and Miko attempt to escape in the cover of darkness but are spotted by a group of armed men who open fire of them. Badly injured by gunfire, Miko commits suicide while trying to buy time for Miki to escape. Her Devilman transformation resembles that of a Black Widow Spider.

- Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka[2] (Japanese); Cindy Robinson[3] (English)

- Silene's partner and a fellow demon, Kaim investigates Amon's disappearance and learns of Akira's power. He is in love with Silene and is not afraid to share these feelings towards her, though she mainly dismisses them. Unlike most of the demons in Satan's army, Kaim is calm and patient in most situations and looks down upon other demons for their lack of control and insatiable bloodlust.
- Jinmen (ジンメン)
- Voiced by: Akio Hirose[2] (Japanese); Michael Sorich[3] (English)
- A large sadistic turtle demon that incorporates the souls and faces of whoever he devours onto his shell, Jinmen stalks Akira's mother back home to Japan and murders her, devouring her and adding her to his shell. Unlike previous portrayals of the character, he possesses Akira's father and slaughters a bus full of people rather than a train.

- A giant, three-faced demon general and Satan's second in command alongside Psycho Jenny, who leads the attack in Japan.

- Psycho Jenny (サイコジェニーSaiko Jenī)
- Voiced by: Yasuhiro Takato (Japanese); Cindy Robinson (English)

He is rescued by his childhood friend Ryo Asuka, a child prodigy and American university professor. Ryo reveals to Akira that his recent expedition to the Amazon rainforest revealed the existence of a race of demons, polymorphic creatures that assimilate other lifeforms to evolve and adapt. While on his expedition, Ryo found that his Russian colleague Dr. Fikira had become possessed by a demon; the doctor self-immolated to end his own suffering while Ryo watched. Ryo explains that similar events have transpired worldwide and that the world's governments are suppressing the truth; seeking Akira's help to expose the demons' existence, Ryo takes Akira to a hedonistic rave called Sabbath, where he suspects demons will be lurking. Akira, inadvertently drugged and believing them to merely be looking for demons, is horrified when Ryo begins slashing people with a broken bottle; the violence causes several demons to appear, and they massacre the remaining humans while Ryo films.

Before returning home, Akira asks Ryo to kill him if he should lose control of himself. The next day Akira discovers Miki secretly talking to a sleazy modeling agent Nagasaki and cuts their call short before telling her that the man is taking advantage of her.

Akira and Ryo, at the airport to meet her, notice their bus has been delayed and follow her cell phone signal to an empty hangar, where they find Akira’s father under Jinmen's control. The demon uses the still-conscious faces of his victims, his mother included, to antagonize and torment Akira. Noticing his father trying to suppress Jinmen’s influence, Akira tries to get through to him, the ensuing internal struggle leads Jinmen to sever the top half of his own head to silence Akira's father.

10 | 'Crybaby' (泣き虫) | Masaaki Yuasa | Masaaki Yuasa | Naoya Wada | |
A broken Akira confronts Ryo on the cliffs they played on as children, carrying Miki’s severed head with him. He demands to know why Ryo betrayed him and humanity. Ryo reveals his true identity as the fallen angel Satan, who was exiled to earth for defying God; there, he discovered the demons and grew to approve of their simple and competitive nature to weed out weakness. When God's angels descended on Earth and devastated it, the bodies of Satan and the demons were destroyed, but their souls endured their physical destruction, and they eventually regained their strength and corporeal forms in the present. Having reincarnated as Ryo and gradually regained his memories through Psycho Jenny, Satan explains that his apocalypse is meant to exterminate humanity for defiling the world, and that he plans to declare war against God afterward. Satan also reveals that he made Akira a Devilman to allow him to survive in the world to come, as his way of thanking Akira for being by his side when he was human. An infuriated Akira refuses to join Satan's cause and ends their friendship, vowing to attack with an army of Devilmen and kill Satan the next time they meet. Akira returns to the Makimura family's burial site and lays Miki and his friends to rest. He then gathers the other Devilmen to fight Satan’s army after the resulting nuclear holocaust runs its course, defending the final bastion of humanity on Earth from the demons. After killing Koda for his betrayal, Akira battles Satan across the planet. Even after the other Devilmen sacrifice themselves to give Akira more power, Satan ultimately cleaves off Akira's lower half. With humanity finally obliterated and the earth a devastated ruin, the victorious Satan reminisces with Akira until he realizes he has already died. Having killed the only person he ever loved, Satan becomes overwhelmed by the same emotions he previously denounced as a weakness and cradles Akira's lifeless body as the angels of God descend, ravaging the earth once again. In a post-credits scene, the molten Earth cools, becoming green and blue once again as a second moon forms in the sky. |
Reception[edit]
Devilman Crybaby has received mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences. The series received 88% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics.[7]
Allegra Frank of Polygon referred to the series as Netflix's first anime masterpiece, praising the visuals, tone and use of humor through the show writing, 'It’s a peak example of director Yuasa’s brand of balancing surrealist art and a real love for young people. The combination makes the show much easier to consume, and every tonal change stands out the more so for it. There’s something striking about an anime that can toe this fine line with such seeming ease.'[8]Eric Thurm of Decider magazine gave the series a more lukewarm review, describing it as the 'grossest show on TV', but still recommended that readers at least watch a couple of episodes for Yuasa's unique art style.[9]
Amon Apocalypse Of Devilman Dvd
The Japan Times contributing writer Matt Schley gave the series four stars out of a possible five writing, 'The 10-episode “Crybaby” starts off strong and ends with a bang, but sags a bit in the middle, and the series’ ambition occasionally exceeds its production values — and there's some pretty cringe-worthy English voice acting in the Japanese-language version. But if “Crybaby” presages what's to come from Netflix's investment in anime, it's going to be an interesting year for the medium.'[10]
Rob Salkowitz of Forbes wrote a very positive review of the anime stating, 'If you can stomach the extreme visuals and neck-snapping tonal shifts, Devilman Crybaby will leave fans of contemporary adult-oriented animation wondering what the hell they just saw, mostly in a good way. If not, it’s a binge that will leave you wanting to purge.'[11]
Mike Toole of Anime News Network reviewed the series giving both the sub and dubbed version a rating of B+ praising the animation style and the unique way the classic characters are presented, but criticized the series for losing much of its story structure in the middle of the series. In the review Toole writes, 'DEVILMAN crybaby is both a thorough depiction of Go Nagai's dark, violent story and a fresh angle at the same time—purists might complain that the geniuses at Science SARU get too creative and goofy with the classic look of Nagai's blocky and muscular characters, but the remarkably creative visuals will keep your interest any time the story starts to waver.'[12]
The series was awarded Anime of The Year at the Crunchyroll's 2018 Anime Awards, along with Yuasa being awarded Best Director.[13]
