There was a screening with the staff and you could hear people sobbing and clapping at the end. Another non-affiliated said that it will be a shock to people all over the world. Some of them think it's a masterpiece.
And then we have the positive English review of the first three episodes. Early signs say that Yuasa has done justice to Go Nagai's manga.
But then again, you never know. Too often I set myself up for disappointment.
Huh, didn't know this was a thing. Is it going to cover all of the original manga? The OVAs from the 90's were pretty cool, but I'd be down for seeing a more accurate adaptation
And we have this guy who I think is writing an article on it for a 6/12 release in the Hyper Hobby magazine. twitter.com/KONFUNK
Isaiah Cruz
>Is it going to cover all of the original manga? Apparently yes, but with the director's own changes. It's set for a worldwide Netflix Spring release. The OVAs were incomplete.
I hope it turns out well, just finished the manga and it was incredible. Probably my most anticipated show from 2018
Logan Nelson
Both Yuasa's new films are excellent. I have high hopes for this. Devilman is one of my favorites.
Jordan Martinez
It's amazing that the manga was written and drawn in 1972.
Sebastian Hernandez
On another note, Go Nagai's other adaptation, Mazinger Z Infinity is set to release in French theatres in 2 days, after the Italian release in late October.
Juan Gray
Why is that amazing? 70s were a great period for manga.
Lucas Clark
>70s were a great period for manga. It was, but works with that much gore like Devilman were rare. You had the gekiga movement but those didn't sport the cartoony Tezuka look, which Nagai took inspiration from (And Ishinomori).
Samuel Phillips
I know Ishinomori was Nagai's mentor but Nagai's visual style looks more influenced by Tezuka
Hudson Garcia
>anime-now.com/entry/2017/11/06/230049 It seems they will put more emphasis on the realtionship between akira and ryo. That's good, it felt weird that satan just went full gay for akira out of nowhere
Nicholas Anderson
Nagai wanted to become Tezuka's assistant, but the man was apparently on a trip at the time.
I like the homo / hetero love triangle they're going with.
Ian Gomez
I cant wait for all the people who said Devilman is shit to get btfo. This will be one of the greatest shows of the decade even the west will acknowledge it. Oh and can anyone read moon? There was one person who was seemingly talking about the show, probably the voice actress. And it seems like she was talking the show being set in the 70s which would be fucking great because I feared it would be set in modern times. But that would let go of the cold war climate and angst.
Oliver Walker
You can always google translate. That's what I do. Also source?
Julian Morgan
How damn popular is mazinga to get such advertisement in a foreign country?
Justin White
I've already saw it earlier this month. It's already premiering though out all France. The movie is not special, some good stuff with Doctor Hell but the movie is mostly an excuse to promote young japanese men to have babies
Nicholas Russell
>mostly an excuse to promote young japanese men to have babies Sounds like classic Nagai.
Jeremiah Howard
Mazinger isn't known at all actually.
Grendizer however is really fucking huge, its like the first anime ever broadcasted in France and has been a big cultural phenomenon since then. Most people who has never seen anime in France knows about "Goldorak"
Just look how they advertise Go Nagai's mangas by making Grendizer localised name bigger than the actual title
Nathaniel Myers
When is this out again? Spring? Hopefully my liver doesn't fail before then.
Justin Martin
Not in France. They're only trying their chances there because of Grendizer's massive success there. Otherwise, Italy is the country where Nagai works are pretty popular whether it's Devilman, Mazinger or Grendizer.
>The movie is not special For a Mazinger fan, I guess it isn't, but it's not like I'm expecting anything too different from Toei. I however read a review that made it sound like the craziest shit ever, and I guess that's the effect it will have on people who don't know Go Nagai other than his minimal work on Grendizer.
I can't wait that scene from The Night is Short Walk on Girl gives me hope on how Yuasa will handle that moment when the mob breaks through Miki's house
Levi Harris
I also forgot to mention Jeeg's popularity in Italy. This robot even got featured in the live action movie called "They call me Jeeg"
Aaron Russell
How was that movie? I heard some mixed things about it.
Joshua Robinson
Man, Shinya Ohira would be the perfect pick for animating that scene, I really hope Crybaby doesn't screw it up
Ryder Diaz
Did anyone get Devil Man Grimoire? I've been curious about it myself.
Leo Richardson
>meme art style Not even once.
Levi Jenkins
I thought it was really good. Maybe great I don't know, only time will tell
Sebastian Bell
>meme opinion Not even once.
Juan Ross
Pretty good, preferred Tatami Galaxy. I preferred Lu personally though.
Sebastian Brown
I've seen people posting pics of it on twitter.
Brayden Moore
Yeah if you want crazy Nagai antics you have those but not so much. The multiverse shenanigans with the Mazinger Infinity/Goragon and some of Dr.Hell speech are highly Nagai-esque in that sense The new character and overall style doesn't relfect much of Nagai's.
People unfamiliar with Mazinger can be lost too as it is set as a sequel and expects you to know the characters. The new girl doesn't had much, and I really found her annoying.
Landon Fisher
But as a retelling how does it compare to the original?
Camden Howard
It was great.
William Hughes
Is the story still about Akira and Ryo satanic adventures?
Nicholas Bailey
>you could hear people sobbing and clapping at the end Thats the only reaction I want people to have after the last episode. The last 3 or so episodes must be some crazy shit. Seems like Yuasa was the right one to adapt it and then there were people who started to mistrust him due to some changes in character design, ridiculous. Shut looks good.
Oliver Perez
>The Nigh is Short subs are out, it's amazing >Next day, Lu no Uta subs are out, it's amazing >Next day, screening's reactions of Devilman claim it is a masterpiece
What a great weekend for Yuasa fans.
Nathan Reed
Will it be as gay as the original or be way gayer like the spinoffs, sequels, and side stories?
>plebs like it >pleb reviewers like it Confirmed for completely butchering the original Devilman.
Jacob Perry
>flash shit Just like 3DCG, flash will never be real anime.
Justin Morris
>you could hear people sobbing and clapping at the end Must have been an American audience.
Nolan Ramirez
You've watch and enjoyed scenes animated in flash in anime without even realising it. It is fairly common place and most of the talented young animators use it nowadays instead of paper.
Alexander Hernandez
Yeah, I'm sure it misses the highbrow finesse of the original piece. You've convinced me, good argument.
David Mitchell
excellent
Matthew Perez
> The anime begins with Ryo returning from a trip abroad where he discovered the existence of devils.
So we aren't going to get the "MY FATHER IS DEAD" scene?
Isaac Nguyen
Go away, xPearse.
Gabriel Smith
We saw the car in the first teaser, I think it'll be fine
Cooper Baker
Gotta agree with , original devilman wasn't really that complex or 'highbrow', I don't really know what you were expecting from the adaption.
Easton Brooks
>Netflix
Luke Brooks
how so? it looks like a manga from 1972 and you couldn't do a lot of shit that it did today
Ethan Garcia
This isn't going to be aired all at once right?
Eli Butler
>having to deal with modern fansub groups 2013 was the last year of good fansubing
Gavin Adams
it's gonna be aired weekly in japan and will be released after it's finished and dubbed in 50 languages in the rest of the world
Xavier Carter
Where did you get that from?
Jack Torres
It's Netflix and they pander primarily to bingefags, so the chances are 99.99% they'll put up everything on the same day. No weekly TV airing on Japan before either
Adam Diaz
>50 languages wut
Leo Powell
But Japan are still accustomed to watching anime weekly. They don't binge it and Japan is still the biggest market for anime.
Elijah Morales
>and dubbed
Levi Foster
Netflix say 90% of anime on their service is watched outside of Japan.
Noah Kelly
I was just making a guess. I actually have no idea about how or when this will be released beyond "sometime spring 2018"
Kevin Murphy
Might because they already watched it while it was airing on TV.
Elijah Anderson
Nobody in Japan even has Netflix, the service hasn't taken off there at all. It is part of the reason they are getting into anime. The Japanese viewership for this show with consequently probably be relatively low compared to what it could have been on TV.
Isaac Wilson
That's because Japanese consumerism is limited within the country itself, they do not glorify importation despite relying on it almost as much as the US does now.
Nicholas Lewis
It's just because there are other online video services that are entrenched and popular already. Plenty of american shit is popular there. Just look at their box office charts for films this year. 7/10 of them are US films.
Andrew Bennett
>no sideburns >shitty flash animation
Michael Thomas
Shitty flash animation that will likely be better than 90% of TV anime.
Jace Wright
You misunderstand; Netflix is a streaming service that capitalizes on consumerist values in order to appeal to society, where as others capitalize on a capitalistic value. Like Disney, Time Warner, EA, ect. they prefer to focus on the creation of a monopoly rather than competition with other businesses and as such do not pay attention to the quality of their product but the quantity. It glorifies importation, being an efficient and cheap means of product, where as others see importation as a means to an end rather than the end of means.
Luis Phillips
>t. yuasafag
Jose Torres
They are producing so many anime specifially to attract japanese people too. The fact that they then can stream these shows worldwide is one of the biggest reasons why they are investing in original content in every ountry. It cheap and people will like it becuae of its foreign aspect. They are doing the same in italy, germany and india.
Mason Turner
Oshiyama is working on it so you can bet this shit is going to look like a classic. Cartoony, sexual and violent animation thats how its going to be and should be.
Daniel Rogers
Its pretty simple, Japan already has popular streaming services before Netflix tried to seriously break into that market and nobody switched to them. It wasn't like that in most western countries where Netflix was there pretty early in the race and they managed to get people on there with exclusive licenses to shows and such initially.
With many of their most popular shows nowadays being Netflix only if they haven't got a good userbase of people watching their shows already it is difficult for them to get new people to pick up the service because nobody is talking about it in Japan in Japanese. Which is another difference, many parts of the world can quite easily join in the western communities, not so much with Japans English. It is kind of like a social network in that respect, if nobody else is using it the utility goes down quite a bit because none of your friends or whatever are going to be talking about the new season of Stranger Things if nobody who speaks a language you know has Netflix to begin with.
I don't think it really has anything to do with anything as heady as you are suggesting. Just that there are already much (in the context of Japan) bigger players in the Japanese market that already have the stuff the Japanese want to see and have been around a while. Hence why their strategy now is to get exclusive Japanese content made for their service that might bait more Japanese people into using it and then watching their other shows and talking about them.
Grayson Baker
Can he top it?
Anthony Cooper
Netflix wasn't "early to the race" and people switched to it. The situation was similar to how you describe it for Japan.
Tyler Phillips
What? Netflix was around early enough to think offering DVD rentals was a good idea.
Tyler Kelly
What services are you talking about? Years ago japan only had a population of approx 6mill people who watched video on demand so its not really a popular thing for them. They still rent and buy a lot of DVDs. Netflix seems to be close to 2 million subs by next year so they seem to have a big chunk of that population and it will only go higher.
Landon Turner
It’d be gay to not fuck Akira.
Evan Taylor

Zachary Cook
>meme status: 40 years and running, inspiring countless Japanese writers and creators with its meme status, a cornerstone of modern Japanese media only because it's a meme
Josiah Hill
Well memed I guess
Sebastian Murphy
Ishinomori looks almost identical to Tezuka.
Robert Rodriguez
yuasa does not fail
Joseph Ross
we already know yuasa flourishes with good source material, so I expect devilman to reflect the level of greatness his past series' did
Samuel Rogers
Devilman crybaby (2018)
Logan Jenkins
man, I really want this to be great. I hope it's well done. have problems with Murase Ayumu being cast as Ryo though.
Bentley Collins
Ah, I see Yuasa was able to capture the look and feel of Jinnen well.
Robert Young
Bought the first volume, it's pretty cool. Feels like a good time to be a Devilman fan lately with three different manga coming out (G, the original, Devilman vs Hades) the Cyborg 009 crossover and Crybaby.
Julian Brooks
Op here. I didn’t know this thread would still be alive and derailed hard.
Jeremiah Moore
Don’t forget 50 million copies to its name for such a short manga.
Probably the highest budget anime to date, supposedly, it's around 10 times the budget a normal anime would receive.
Adam Ortiz
>Literally at one point, you watch a woman’s bare breasts stretch and warp as the nipples become enormous and erect before turning into mouths with razor sharp teeth that begin eating the screaming people around her.

She gives them some head, if you know what I mean.
