Devilman Crybaby is simply something you do not usually see. I have to say; it is rare to come across something so explicit, violent, action-packed, and insane as this. Plus, probably because of Netflix, there is none of the typical Japanese censorship, so I may have seen the most severed limbs and animated women's nipples I have ever seen in one day. It probably would have been one of the goriest spectacles ever if the anime's creators had not decided to make the demons' blood yellow. If you found, say, Inuyashiki way too gnarly, then this is several levels more and at an insanely rushed pace. The first few episodes flew by, and I needed to take breaks between the episodes to process everything I had seen properly. In other words, this is a show that wants to shock people, and nobody gives a shit. However, it often comes across as confusing, incredibly over the top, and I sometimes thought that this was just too much. The ending, on the other hand, tries to be philosophical, pose challenging questions, and of course, stay as cool as possible until the epic conclusion itself. Well, sometimes it works (who is the real demon here anyway?), sometimes not so much - and it is the same with being moved emotionally. I ended up feeling torn because this anime series was simply full of contradictions. I am just not sure if it was all meant to be like that, or if it was just way too overblown (probably purposefully over the top), intelligent or completely stupid, interesting or weird, artistic or completely tasteless... 6/10.
