Devilman: Crybaby

This episode dives deeper to the nature of humans and how they fear what they don’t know or understand. The visuals turn into a frantic, chaotic and unsettling nightmare. Mikis tragic death at the hands of fearful citizens she defended portrays the ultimate betrayal of innocence. It goes to show how blind fear turns ordinary humans into far worse monsters than actual demons.

There's really not much to say about this finale other than "holy moly." The emotion, the stakes, and the visuals made for a really dark, yet insanely climactic conclusion that makes me want to watch it again. An emotional closure to what is one of the craziest anime I've ever watched.

This becomes clear in episode 9 when it becomes evident how hazardous the nature of man is. They lose sight of their principles of righteousness and choose to be driven by fear instead of truth.

Last ep is indeed a very dramatic episode. It does not matter that I am yet to comprehend its underlying significance; what is clear is that humanity is prone to destruction and chaos.

Episode 8 leaves us more confused than ever about Ryo. For years, he’s kept secrets from everyone, and yet nobody is aware. The suspense grows higher each time, but the true emotional pain lies ahead . it’s utterly devastating.

With episode 7, the roles are reversed. It is heartbreaking watching the humans’ lack of control as demons begin to show feelings such as empathy. It is a heavy watch to say the least.

Absolute bonkers finale to this saga. Makers have a done a phenomenal job with keeping the biggest twist right for the last episode. Cinematic animation and epic conclusive battle between humans, devilmen and demons. Still very gutted for Akira and the ending is heartbreaking.

Oh man this series has been really heartbreaking. Artistic but really rough for the feels! Makes me wonder about our human intentions in reality as well. Dark episode with some gut wrenching scenes. Grewsome fight scenes and peak animation again.

Man this one is a roller coaster. The range of emotions is unreal. The makers have a way of breaking your heart and throwing in a twist at the same time. Peak animation and story writing. Feel really bad for Akira but its time for him to really kick some!

The makers have done a fantastic job a t capturing the human condition in a world split into two identities. Its an all out war between humans and demons. Ryo's decisions are the worst!

Drenched in gore, this is an exciting episode. Ryo's tactics are very risky and dangerous! But i guess when you are fighting demons, you have to play dirty. Akira's compassion for other people like him is on display. Perfect pacing. On to the next.

The ability of the makers to depict the carnal side of the demons is absolute genius. Tying it with a failing love story and then making it into the ultimate victory but just for a moment is peak story writing in my opinion. Savage fighting scenes and good pacing.

I was really shocked by epi 6. Ryo's character keeps mixing up his identity; his actions make him a totally different person. I'm not sure if he is genuinely attempting to do some good or if he is just exploiting Akira as a subject for his own experiment. ..

Things took a dark turn suddenly! Heart breaking episode. Peak animation as usual but the direction takes the cake. Good watch overall. Some character development has been forced on Akira. The demon creature design is creepy and gives the chills in some scenes. On to the next!

Overall, great capture. But, I think it's not for the faint-hearted, narrow-minded, and children. Scenes are disturbing enough and taboo, especially for Christians. I love the soundtrack in all their fight scenes. A little sentimental toward the end, but not worth your cry, baby.

Episode 5 really reveals how delicate people are. When fear controls a person, empathy disappears, and one starts to oppose the other. It is quite disturbing, but a very strong thing to see. Akira's compassion is even more remarkable in such a devastated world.

We now say "Peace be..." i mean, "Burn in hell!" This just shows that humans can be more monstrous than monster creature themselves. It's contemplating. It's where you ask, do humans deserve saving? Do we deserve a second chance? Should judgment day come upon us? Good luck!

This is controversial in relation to Christian faith. From the start of the series, it shows Christian references like The Last Supper, the Bible, and Antichrist symbols. It's like saying that, sometimes, if you're too good in this forsaken world, you'll get "eaten" by monsters.

I think demon here is our dark side we kept hidden. When we lose control of our demon urges, it manifest into our actions and we become monsters. And, a monster in real-life context refers to serial killers, terrorists, abusers, rapist, and others who inflict harm on people.

My takeaway about this is that we birthed our own demons caused by the triggers around us such as envy, lust, pressure, conformity, loneliness, and anger. We deal with these feelings on a normal basis, but sometimes, we snap. And before we know it, the damage is already done.
