Devilman Crybaby: Season 1

Like many a violent and graphic anime, while Devilman Crybaby starts off strong, it loses steam quickly and avoids the more interesting avenues it could have taken.

And so Devilman Crybaby ends on a surprising high note. One which, strangely, may make you feel sorry for the last demon Akira faces.

If you had any sort of emotional investment in the characters, you might wanna grab a tissue.

Devilman Crybaby is trying to pull out everything but the kitchen sink to throw at us but, is it too little too late?

Ryo has brought hell on Earth and with Akira trying to fix what he started, he is forced to watch the world burn alone.

As Ryo’s plan gets put into action, the still unnamed demon league scrambles to handle the exposure.

As Devilman Crybaby finally has Silene meet Akira, we are reminded that with Akira’s body changing, he has certain urges.

We finally get to meet Akira’s parents but, unfortunately, the reunion is brief.

The psuedo-saint that is Miki is dragged into Akira’s mess and seemingly, he isn’t the only one which presents a threat to her life.

As we see Akira have a brand new body, that takes getting used to for everybody, we are introduced to the upper echelon of demons.
