| Oooooh myyyyy. So this is the TV anime project that Yuasa was talking about Surprised that its a new Devilman anime ! Sad that we'll be waiting a year for it tho :/ |
 |
| I finished watching everything related with Devilman last month. I'm gonna watch it for sure. |
 |
| HELL YES I'M SO PUMPED |
| YUASA AND DEVILMAN I FUCKING CAME SO FUCKING HARD |
| TEN COMMANDMENTS: 1) If Evangelion and Psycho-Pass are his only 10s, he probably also worships Tool and smells like cheesy puffs 2) Freudian psychosis =/= good writing 3) Moe blob art style is only ok in pure slice-of-life comedy 4) It's ok to enjoy shounen. Having fun is allowed 5) It is not ok to enjoy isekai (jk, it is, I just fucking hate it) 6) Creator breakdown =/= good writing 7) A story does not have to be wrapped up with a bow. Life is messy, why would a good story need to be tidy? 8) InuYasha is proto-Twilight 9) Ecchi CAN be good, but is almost always an abomination 10) If God is real, They allowed Super Kid to happen, so fuck Them |
| That staff is nutso. |

| Holy shit, Yuasa and Devilman is a combo that makes me very interested. Really looking forward to this. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Looking forward to some hipster orgies. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Now here's something that I didn't expect to see at this age. Science SARU will be adapting it...and they're pretty new...This ought to give them some attention. ^_^ |

| Hype. A Go Nagai manga adaptation directed by Yuasa, is this real life? |

SkyDrop said: Toei's 70s Devilman is pretty much a more "kiddie/light hearted" monster of the week version that deviates from the manga.Hmm, spring 2018? No way I will remember this for long time! I wished it could come this year.. **sigh** anyway from the look of pv, it looks like we will be expecting 3d cgi animation.. btw who planning to watch 1970s devilman? well rating seems low for this series but i hope they will devise carefully and show us that devil man is really devilish. Anyway I will be looking forward to this Watch the OVAs instead, if you haven't already. |

| I'm so happy. I think it will be the best anime of 2018. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Apparently the adaptation will include the end of the manga. Not sure of the implications. |
| Sieg Zeon! |

| I hope they do it justice :] been meaning to finish devilman for a while now |
 |
| There's no Oshiyama, so I assume that Devilman is not the last thing from Yuasa that gets announced this year. |
| Checking it's not 1st of April. |
 |
| The director choice is interesting enough on its own. The platform is probably a good thing to avoid TV obligations (unless a TV founds it too). Now, the question is: What will be the people Akira has "to join" for his rebirth? In the 60s manga: hippies, in the 80s OAV: "allnighters", and in the 2018 ONAs? edit @simo000 @ArthronGeok Thank you, the bichromie must have induced me in error. @HamburgerSpike I believe Amon presents another road branching out before Go Nagai's own end, where the hero is "replaced" by the demon he was controlling. Also, I know the original isn't inconclusive but the world of Devilman is further shown through the very long Violence Jack series. |

| Can Masaaki Yuasa somehow make a script written by the Code Geass guy good? I imagine this will be a tough battle but I believe that even if its total shlock, it should be extremely entertaining. HYPE |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Hyped as fuck when I heard Yuasa was involved. |
 |
| The Masterpiece Maker back at it again. Really looking forward to how this turns out. |
| I have no knowledge of this but I like Yuasa so I'll watch it. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Waiting an entire year is going to be excruciatingly painful. |
 |
where are you guys seeing 3D CGI? There's none in the trailer. That's just Yuasa's style. |
| Since it's going to be a Netflix original, that means it won't be a victim to censorship laws, yes? Hell yeah. |

HYPE Considering he has written some pretty good scripts in that and other shows, objectively speaking, this is not exactly impossible. As for "total shlock"... you should read Devilman and/or watch the OVAs first and then come back. Ye, hes done the script for Kabaneri recently :D Depends what you consider good but I already said im fine with it as long as its entertaining. I was kinda hoping someone who read it could tell me how the manga is :D |

The manga seems to be a few hundred chapters total so which OVA is the best one to start with? |

The adaption was pretty weak, you won't really know what's happening unless you read the manga. Although I will say that it does some of the manga panels justice. |

| Never watched Devilman before but I may give it a shot before this one comes out |
 |
| Holy fucking god damn shit, this is awesome, 3 Yuasa projects in a year! I never would have guessed the netflix devilman was the Yuasa/Oshiyama project they said was getting announced in March. Anyone who's afraid of censorship, don't worry, they said it was gonna be full of sex and violence. I've always been interested in devilman and now one of my favorite directors is doing an adaptation! |
SillySempai said: Just watch the two OVAs, the one from Toei has nothing to do with the manga and is more "family friendly".Yuasa the god. Ive read the manga, its paced abit fast and inconsistent at times. Yuasa can patch that up [[[: Should i watch those 2 OVA's listed? I dont know how proactive i can be to watch the 39ep series thats not even rated a 7 lol |

| This has a lot of talented staff behind the work. Nice. Looking forward to it! |

Katsu-kun said: Looks cartoonish. :-( The art-style of the manga is rather cartoonish, the art-style on the pv actually looks very close to the manga. not cg, just really well done 2d animation, especially how fluid is the head turn-around at 00:34. Knowing Yuasa woks, I'm expecting a really godly animation on this! |
 |
| netflix?! accessible. nice! animation looks impressive, i'll definitely check it out |
| Those studio names tho man... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| ahh.. uhh..since when go nagai is a hip? what the fuck?does anything old considered hippies nowdays? |

ukloim said: There's no Oshiyama, so I assume that Devilman is not the last thing from Yuasa that gets announced this year. Other staff members still not announced I think this is the rumored Yuasa project, with Oshiyama as the Key animator. |
