I get that you don't like Devilman Crybaby, but I feel like your review....was lacking. The show definitely had depth. Shouldn't you at least attempt to attempt some semblance of an analysis before claiming it's got no depth? Seriously, every show has some sort of underlying thesis, to claim the absence of such an element requires at least SOME elaboration. I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that your statement was fundamentally unsubstantial.

And why are you complaining about the MC's naivety? Sure, from a utilitarian perspective his naivety is inherently flawed, but it's ultimately an important aspect of the show. His naivety is what sets him apart from other devilmen. Unlike his devilman peers (who are self-seeking and willing to cave in to their violent urges), Akira cares about nothing more than upholding his naive personal convictions. The message of the show was quite simple: a human heart is the only thing that differentiates us from the savage and primitive nature of beasts. Akira's character perfectly ties in to this message. And again, if you had tried to grasp the show's messages (even on a surface level), it would've made sense.


Although you may not have liked the unabashed violence and sex the show is known for, it in no way means that these elements were included solely for shock value. Remember, this show sought to highlight the 3 main aspects of primitive instinct; sex, violence, and consumption. What better way to demonstrate the savage and primitive nature of instinct than explicit sexual content and brutal violence? In the end, DC's use of "mature" elements is faaaarrrr better than Elfen Lied or Gantz. In this case, it seamlessly built the show's themes. In the case of the other 2, well, let's just say it was subpar. What I'm trying to say is DC doesn't show what it did in an attempt to be "adult" and "mature." Imo it actually served an elegant purpose.

Your Hero Aca review touches on the aspects which I found pretty bad but you actually liked Stain? wat

Okay, I understand why you would find Devilman Crybaby story and characters weak, but saying that its soundtrack is dull is like saying that 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc in Hunter x Hunter (2011) is good. I might sound like a salty asshole, but get a better understanding of the word dull, lad ;^)

Garbage DC review

Satou's character is realistic because there are over 540,000 hikikomori like him in Japan. In fact, the author was one of them and wrote it while he was still recovering. The recovery is extremely difficult for these people because they had little to no human contact for an extended period of time and some tend to regress if the recovery process is too hard for them. The novel was also published in 2002, meaning that Sato was born in 1980. He didn't feel a need to use a computer because he grew up without one.

The only reason Misaki wanted to help Sato in the first place was to escape from her difficult home life. Instead of locking herself in her room for years, she found someone whose problems were worse than her own and used him to make herself feel better. Also, how do expect Sato to know how to react to romantic situations when he has had no human contact for years?

Many modern anime actually condone the hikkikomori lifestyle by giving the worthless protagonists some sort of power (SAO, Re:Zero, NGNL), but Welcome to the NHK highlights the difficult recovery process.
