| something may connect with one person, but not so much with others. Besides, people who love this show are pretty much a minority. Look at the score lmao. |
| I have no idea, personally i found this anime pretty mediocre. But everyone has their own taste, i guess. |

| amazing soundtrack, fucked up shit, smooth animation etc |

| It's basically a bastardized version of Devilman. It's a remake, something we don't see often in anime, done by Yuasa (love him, btw) an excellent anime director that until that point never really bothered with already established IPs nor with sequels, yet because of that sweet Netflix money he decided to try adapting an already popular franchise but with his style instead. The result is something a true Devilman fan wouldn't want but something a Yuasa fan would. The people praising DC are pretty much Yuasa fanboys. The fact that Yuasa's other Netflix anime, Japan Sinks, is rated 6 (his lowest ever) is testament that he's not only losing his touch, but that he's becoming a greedy old man. Sad that Watanabe seems to be heading in the same direction as well. What a shame. Two of my most beloved anime directors. Yuasa also used cheap ways to try and make you emotional but completely failed, he introduced the mom out of nowhere for one episode just to kill her off. At that point I was rolling my eyes. Is this really Yuasa? Keep in mind that character isn't in the OVAs nor in the Manga, that's 100% Yuasa falling into generic anime tearjerker territory. TL;DR: DC was never meant to have the Yuasa style, thank Netflix for corrupting legendary directors. Edit: I must say that I actually liked it? Not as a good show, sure, but the schlock, the bastardization and ridiculousness of it were actually fun. I gave it a 6/10. It is fun. Just don't take it seriously and don't take it as a real Devilman adaptation. I guess it's a "so-bad-it's-good" product? |

| Whew we got some real essays in here that I'm not gonna read. It's a niche type of anime that if it's what you're looking for, will scratch that itch perfectly and in a way no other show can. Unique visuals, one of the best soundtracks ever, sex, drugs, and violence. Hell yeah brother sign me up. |
| Its very good, sex, violence, twisted sense of morality, love, music, animation. Do you need anything more? |
| Some love it, others despise it, some thinks it's okay. It's a thing about taste. Some may like pineapple pizza, others don't. And so does on. |
| the characters were great and it probably has one of the best endings in anime and manga, soundtrack and animation are also great, a show might be for others but not for you it doesn't matter how much people tell you about why they lvoe it your opinion probably wont change, also its not like that many people love it, i've seen more people saying it shouldn't exist than people praising it, it might feel like it is universally loved because some anitubers sometimes talk about it but at least mal doesnt love it that much |

Look at the score lmao. 7.80 is a good score. That's still a little low for something that supposedly gets 'overwhelming praise' according to the OP. |
| I think it came back when there was a noticeable drought of really dark and gritty anime. The sort of which was more commonly released during the late 80's and early 90's. That and I'm pretty sure it was one of the very first Netflix original anime that was actually worth watching. So those 2 factors probably overblew its popularity quite a bit. I still think it was a great show, but not anime of the year 2018 material. |
Bard0cen said: STORYLINE and CHARACTERS are the main reason it's loved by all. Great soundtracks are a reason too but Akira and Ryo are 2 great MCs. The storyline is just top tier. The last 2eps turned the opinions of the people upside down. If you are not satisfied with the anime read the manga it has 8rating with 50chs.I dunno if it's because I feel off today but after watching Devilman I just don't get where it's overwhelming praise is coming from. It felt way too rushed, plot escalation coming out of nowhere and an over abundance of sex that seemed to have no real use, aside from a handful that felt like a necessary inclusion. It felt like they were trying to use the shock factor of the gore and boobies to mask the show's issues. The sound track and soundcloud rappers were great though. |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| It's kinda hard to explain my fav scenes without spoilers. But it does show a lot of the messed of parts of humanity. But not counting that, the score was amazing, the charecters were good, and it was just depressing all around... |
AiNoMukidashi said: Long time Nagai fan here, Crybaby is in spirit close adaptation of the manga, and the translation to modern times was very neatly done. It is a remake because so many anime and manga were inspired by Devilman, adapting it plainly would lead to people thinking it's generic when it is actually the original. (Well, it happened anyway, but whatever). It's certainly far from being a cashgrab. Don't asumme that your opinion is identical to that of the whole fanbase.The result is something a true Devilman fan wouldn't want but something a Yuasa fan would. The people praising DC are pretty much Yuasa fanboys. |
You all need to watch Nami. |
| Because it's Elfen lied + Evangelion |
| In my opinion the ending is so shit, but the previous episodes are great. |
| Anime is fun. |

Besides, people who love this show are pretty much a minority. Look at the score lmao. Yeah, and Mirai Nikki's got a score of 7.47 lmao. This is MAL dude, anything below an 8 screams 'not worth your time'. Besides, a score of 8 doesn't exactly mean people love it. Which is in direct contrast to the OP proclaiming this show gets overwhelming praise. |
| Its soundtrack is bussin that's why Never thought I would love an anime's ost to this extent |
 |
| For me, it was almost perfect. It was clearly lacking on animation and a bit of plot hole in starting few episodes, but the ending was worth it. I feel sorry for people who found out about this show through MAL and didn't even gave it a try. Also the soundtrack carries really hard throughout the series. |
| I didn't like the first couple of episodes but near the end, show started to grow on me. Artistic choices, edgy nature of the show gave me a different kind of emotion. Still, I can understand why people doesn't like it that much. Pacing was too fast, animation style didn't suit the show that much etc. My enjoyment is coming solely from personal enjoyment. |
