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

The official account retweeted a few reactions (I assume staff)

And we have this guy who I think is writing an article on it for a 6/12 release in the Hyper Hobby magazine.

>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
Both Yuasa's new films are excellent. I have high hopes for this. Devilman is one of my favorites.
It's amazing that the manga was written and drawn in 1972.
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.
Why is that amazing?
70s were a great period for manga.
>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).
