| I didnt know where to open this topic so im sorry if this is the wrong place. The question is do i need to watch or read something before i watch the devilman ova's to understand it? |
| well, id say read the manga before watching the devilman ovas. its not like you generally need to, but do it. it will be a lot more interesting watch if you know what its about beforehand. if your going to watch the amon one, you will have to read the manga first or you wont get anything. |
| Not really, I only watched the OVAs and had no problem figuring out what's going on in them. It's all fairly straightforward. Naturally the source material will always provide more in-depth information but if you're asking if it's necessary to watch the OVAs, it absolutely isn't. Hope you like the OVAs. They have some great visuals and animation. Make sure to get the 1080p remastered BD version. It's worth it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Isterio said: This depends on what you wanna gain from watching it. Do you wanna understand the universe and it´s characters? Then skip anything Anime related about Devilman and read the Manga (It´s a chore though, both Anime and Manga are unfogiveably slow). Do you wanna be midly entertained watch some disturbing imagery and a bloody DBZ fight? Then watch the Ovas in no particular order. Preferably get a few friends together who have bad taste and strong stomaches get drunk and watch this Gorefeast. If you´re not easily disturbed get some Pizza and laugh your ass off at one of the most hillarious scenes in gore history. Honestly i want to understand it enough to actually have fun from something beyond the gore even tho i watch this mostly for the 80' 90's super violent ova's. I actually like gore so much i thought the second episode of genocyber and that legend of the overfiend didnt have enough gore at some point. Maybe theres some parts in the manga that i can read just to understand the ova's better withough getting a lot of spoilers?+the manga is pretty long rutile said: well, id say read the manga before watching the devilman ovas. its not like you generally need to, but do it. it will be a lot more interesting watch if you know what its about beforehand. if your going to watch the amon one, you will have to read the manga first or you wont get anything.

| Why are we comparing Devilman to Genocyber, Violence Jack and torture porn? It's not just some trashy shit OVA with tons of Gore, it's a legitimate franchise. If you're looking for something bad and bloody there are much better(or worse, I guess) choices. Apocalypse Zero was pretty goddamn entertaining as a crapfest, for example. I found the Devilman OVAs to actually be pretty good, especially the visuals were great. In any case you need the manga even less if you're just in it for the gore. |

I don´t remember Devilman to be in any way worse than Genocyber. You can watch Devilman on an entertaiment basis without reading anything about it and completely avoid the Manga. There are just several scenes in each Movie dedicated to the Love interest Miki which have no purpose if you´re not familar with the Manga or the work. Too many plotholes and too many blanks, but they only become apparent if you start thinking about, if the material presented to you makes any sense. Suprisingly even Violence Jack isn´t that bad once you get used to it with the exception of the Chainsaw scene. The only statement befitting of that one would be, "Well, there goes my innocence".The statement "This is imagery is to what Todd Mcfarlane beats off after work" was rightfully associated with it. I watched the saw and actually genocyber is a lot closer to my taste, i watched 2 episodes so far and the first episode was pretty amazing (for what im looking for) but the second episode wasnt really gory except the children brains exploding in the beginning (ofc im talking only about the gore its not as important as the plot and characters) . But again its not actually so much for the gore that im watching it for but sort of a compensation after watching to much modern anime. I sorta had to have this authentic 80's/90's ova feeling Pullman said: Why are we comparing Devilman to Genocyber, Violence Jack and torture porn?

In any case you need the manga even less if you're just in it for the gore. As i said im not there just for the gore i want to understand it enough to enjoy something beyond the gore but i dont want to read 51 chapters so im asking if there are certain parts that i can read so ill have better understanding of the show and wont get spoilers? |
