Hi, I hope you are doing great! I must admit I'm a little nervous... this is my first post in this community. I want to tell you about an anime series that I really liked, which was released some time ago, it was one of the first great hits of Netflix in the world of anime, and it was very popular the year it was released, I remember that everyone was talking about this series. They even said it was the best anime series of the year. Although it's a bit cliché at the beginning, it soars through the roof, it has a great frenzy of action and violence! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Hola! Espero se encuentren súper bien! Debo admitir que estoy algo nervioso.. este es mi primer post en esta comunidad. Les quiero hablar de una serie anime que me gustó mucho, la cual se estrenó hace ya algún tiempo, fue de los primeros gran aciertos de Netflix en el mundo del anime, y fue muy popular el año que se estrenó, recuerdo que todo el mundo hablaba de esta serie. Incluso decían que era la mejor serie anime del año. Aunque es un poco cliché al principio, se eleva a más no poder, tiene un gran frenesí de acción y violencia! Espero les guste tanto como a mí.

This series has ten episodes, which you can easily watch in marathon... The premise may sound a bit cliché, it has been seen in some other works, the classic demon merging with the protagonist. This time the protagonist is called Akira Fudo, and he becomes a kind of human-demon hybrid. And now he will get superhuman powers, and he uses them to protect humanity from a demonic invasion that is coming soon. Watching this anime I realized that the real gem of this series is not the plot or the fights as such, but the shocking and raw exploration of different important themes such as violence, sexuality, moral duality and the thin line that exists between us humans and demons. Visually, Devilman Crybaby has a rather curious animation. It is simple, but at the same time dynamic, with characters that have exaggerated features at times, but that fit perfectly with the punk tone of the series. Another thing that I have noticed that stands out is the use of colors and textures to deepen various scenes, and this allows to convey different tones and atmospheres.

Esta serie cuenta con diez episodios, que te puedes ver en maratón fácilmente.. La premisa puede sonar algo cliché, se ha visto en algunas otras obras, el clásico demonio fusionándose con el protagonista. En esta ocasión el protagonista se llama Akira Fudo, y este se convierte en una especie de hibrido humano-demonio. Y ahora obtendrá poderes sobrehumanos, y los usa para proteger a la humanidad de una invasión demoniaca que llegara pronto. Viendo este anime pude darme cuenta que la verdadera joya de esta serie no es la trama o las peleas como tal, sino la impactante y cruda exploración de distintos temas importantes como la violencia, la sexualidad, la dualidad moral y la delgada línea que existe entre nosotros los humanos, y los demonios. En lo visual, Devilman Crybaby tiene una animación bastante curiosa. Es simple, pero a la vez dinámica, con unos personajes que tienen rasgos exagerados en algunas ocasiones, pero que encajan perfecto, con el tono punk de la serie. Otra cosa que he notado que resalta bastante es el uso de los colores y las texturas para profundizar en varias escenas, y esto permite transmitir diferentes tonos y atmosferas.

Another good thing that this anime has, are the specific camera movements, which reinforce and support the feeling of discomfort and frenzy of action in certain parts. As for the script, this series has several plot twists, although there are some that feel rushed, but most generally maintain a good narrative rhythm, you can see moments of calm and suddenly chaotic explosions of violence, accompanied by action, which I quite liked. I would have liked to know a lot more about some of the characters. I think it would have increased a little more the sense of shock in relation to their endings, but I understand that this was surely done to reinforce that sense of hopelessness, which transports you to this world where no one is really safe, anything can happen. This series shines a lot by giving complexity to its characters, we have the mysterious Ryo, who is very interesting... Having that duality and personality between cold and distant, but with certain touches of humanity. Even the secondary characters are very well done, have good personalities, and good arcs.

Otra cosa buena que tiene este anime, son los movimientos específicos de cámara, que refuerzan y apoyan mucho la sensación de incomodidad y frenesí de acción en ciertas partes. En cuanto al guion, esta serie tiene varios giros argumentales, aunque hay algunos que se sienten apresurados, pero la mayoría en general mantienen un buen ritmo narrativo, puedes ver momentos de calma y de repente explosiones caóticas de violencia, acompañadas de acción, cosa que me gusto bastante. Me hubiera gustado saber mucho más sobre algunos personajes.. Creo que fuera aumentado un poco más la sensación de shock en relación con sus finales, pero entiendo que esto seguramente se hizo para reforzar esa sensación de desesperanza, que te transporta a este mundo donde nadie está realmente a salvo, todo pude pasar. Esta serie brilla mucho al darle complejidad a sus personajes, tenemos al misterioso Ryo, que resulta muy interesante.. Teniendo esa dualidad y personalidad entre frio y distante, pero con ciertos toques de humanidad. Incluso los personajes secundarios están muy bien hechos, tienen buenas personalidades, y arcos buenos.

Devilman Crybaby is quite an experience... It's strange, but at the same time, it's captivating... It makes you think, and can even make you cry. It has its weaknesses, like most works, but it grabs you from the first chapter and doesn't let go, it pulls you into this chaotic frenzy without you being able to react. Along with its curious, but unique visual style/animation, and its way of exploring human psychology in such a raw way.... Showing us the horrors we can become, and how that reflects what everyone carries inside. I give this anime a strong 9/10. I highly recommend it for anime fans, it may not be a series for everyone, that's obvious. And clearly, it is for adults, those with the stomach for violence and strange but emotional situations, will surely find a work they will love, and it will surely stay in their heads for some time. I share with you the trailer of this great anime.

Devilman Crybaby es toda una experiencia.. Es extraña, pero al mismo tiempo es cautivadora.. Te hace pensar, e incluso puede hacerte llorar. Tiene sus debilidades, como la mayoría de obras, pero te atrapa desde el primer capítulo y no te suelta, te lleva a este frenesí caótico sin que puedas reaccionar. Junto con su estilo visual/animación curiosa, pero única, y su manera de explorar la psicología humana de una forma tan cruda.. Mostrándonos los horrores que podemos llegar a hacer, y como eso refleja lo que cada uno lleva dentro. Le doy a este anime un fuerte: 9/10. Lo recomiendo mucho para los fans del anime, puede que no sea una serie para todo el mundo, eso es obvio. Y claramente, es para mayores de edad, aquellos con el estómago para la violencia y situaciones extrañas pero emotivas, seguro encontraran una obra que amaran, y seguramente se les quedara en la cabeza por algún tiempo. Les comparto el tráiler de este gran anime.

Hi Jesus! Welcome to The Anime Realm community.

I saw this anime some years ago and I really liked it, although I must say I thought it would be better because of the high hype the anime had at the time.

On the other hand, I recommend you to check the community guidelines post and interact with the other users.

Hope to see you soon. Greetings!

Hey there, welcome to the community!

I saw the first versions of this anime before and they touch on very sensitive subjects through out the story. It's definitely not for everyone but a really good story to binge watch.

Although I haven't watched this version it looks like they kinda kept the same storyline which is great, and thanks to your review I have a clear idea of what to expect.

Great post 🖤

The truth is that it is a good anime, it has a lot of plot and unexpected moments.
And that's why it stands out, it's not more of the same like other series.

la verdad es un buen anime, tiene mucha trama argumental y momentos inesperados.
Y por eso mismo destaca, no es mas de lo mismo como otras series.
