Ryo has been studying the existence of demons and wants to reveal them to the world. His style’s pretty distinct and has a lot of bright colours and shifting bodies that works well with Devilman‘s core concept.įor people who don’t know, Devilman follows a Japanese student called Akira Fudo and his friend Ryo Asuka. Although it makes sense given his work on Kemonozume.Īlexandra: I don’t watch as much anime as you do and I mostly know Yuasa from animation he did on Samurai Champloo. To be honest I kind of didn’t know what to expect on some level, just because Devilman has traditionally been such a violent and horny property and Masaaki Yuasa seems like a gentle dude, but the combination totally works for me.
What did you think of the series? Did it live up to expectations?Ĭhris Person: Oh hell yeah it did. You went into Crybaby knowing a lot more about Yuasa’s work and Devilman as a whole. I’ll be honest with you, I had no clue what I was getting into and I found it both completely overwhelming and strangely beautiful. It starts off a bit quirky before devolving into a tale of violence, sex, demons, and biblical conflict.
Heather Alexandra: Chris! Both of us have watched Devilman Crybaby, an anime series directed by Masaaki Yuasa based on a pretty well-known manga from the 1970s written by Go Nagai.
