Devilman in particular say’s some really funny shite when he’s killing demons…certainly not the sweet boy Akira he was before.
The English dub is really quite comical to me but not in a bad way…I mean, re-watching this now I can understand why some people may find it korny but overall I think it works out very well. I like the music in Devilman…its got a melancholy feel to it. If someone did a live action Ginman costume / CGI effect I would be vomiting all goddamn day, I swear!Īnyway, compared to today’s level the animation is pretty average but I still think it’s aged pretty well over the years regardless. They really look like morphed, spliced animal creatures…which really feels disturbing…I mean to this day Ginman is one of the most F’ed up demons I’ve EVER seen in any anime. A standout point for me is the demon character designs. However I’d say overall the animation style looks pretty simplistic but not in a lazy way.
DEVILMAN MANGA IMFDB MOVIE
The anime on a whole has a MUCH darker tone and where Akira looked like a sweet kid in the first movie he now looks like a pumped up thug ready to pound anyone that gets in his way. This movie was made a couple years after the first one and things look a lot better. Keeping in mind this is early 90’s animation The animation for the first movie was pretty decent…I mean the character designs looked a bit cutesy at first but when the demons get involved things change quite dramatically. Everyone I know who has watched this movie really like s the ending in particular.
Near the end of the movie it’s unclear who will come out on top…I mean it looks like Devilman will get the last laugh…but how it actually turns out is actually quite interesting. Actually about 50% of this movie is focused on the bitter grudge match between Devilman and Silene and it turns out to be a great fight to the death!Ĭonsidering how much things go on in this movie I’d say the pacing is fantastic and the action scenes in this movie are excellent but also when it does slow down a little it usually focuses on some minor character development otherwise it’s pretty much action packed. Then lastly the movies core focus is on theĭemon Bird Silene (pronucened differently) who wants to kill Devilman to make an example out of demons who choose to meld with humans. Second is an ambush attack at home targeting the family that is providing Akira with his temporary accommodation. The first involving a demon who lures Akira into his hideaway just to torture him with a horrifying revelation about his parents. This movie to me feels like three separate action sequences crammed into one great movie. Mostly, it just gets straight to the point. Okay remember how the first Devilman movie had a lot of explaining and build up until the last 15 minutes before the awesome gore fest began…well this movie does not follow that same formula.
