NO SPOILER REVIEW:
I was hyped for this show, I didn't watch the old adaptation because it was too old for my taste. First epsodes were good it still didn't explain shit still I could overlook that but as the show went on it got sloppy.

And the pacing.. Oh! Lord shit happen so fast that it doesnt make any sense especially episode 8 where bunch of new characters come in and shit just happens. Also there is no insight to why characters do things they just fuckin do. A moment they are good now evil oops good again with so little context it's total bullshit. ... I don't understand why people like it so much and why its got such a high score on MAL probably because dumb people watching whatever is on Netflix. They stuffed the senario of the manga into 10 episode not even 12. This show needed to be at least 2 seasons, it wasn't probably because budget issues and that explains the sloppy drawings at mid-end part too.

Some parts of the series had weird scenes like it was surreal and it was hard to understand whats going on where the characters are and so on especially in the fighting scenes it was like some guy planned this part and other guy planned some part of it drew them and they combined them. Those scenes where like random imagery more than a series it was surreal. And that didn't suit the actual style of the story in my opinion.

I didn't read the manga but now I will because they fucked up along the way while making this adaptation and I want to know how they failed.

But still it had good shit tho first fight scene where de mc becomes a devilman was the bomb. The soundtrack also was the bomb. I didn't have a problem with how characters were drawn and artsyle but i had a problem with how the animations were made and the connections between the scenes. This series could have been awesome but it was lacking in many aspects. If you want you can give it a try its still enjoyable but bad.

MOSTLY SPOILER-FREE REVIEW WITH VERY MINOR SPOILERS
I felt the need to write a review after i saw all the bashing reviews of a series that wasn't too bad and enjoyable. Firstly I apologize for my grammar, English isn't my mother language. I admit that it didn't live up to my expectations either but there was a lot good more than bad in my opinion. Early parts was very good and fun to read but after that started to repeat itself with the fighting bullies and the same love triangle stuff happening but I was happy with the late parts to be honest because fighting was ... this mangas theme but i think it was intended to be a slice of life/drama which from the start didn't really change too much. MC was at times a big fucking pussy (but understandable considering his past and current hard life) and at times could be a badass and a real man and act considerate. Although he was sometimes being a whiny bitch and always blaming his finances was annoying as hell in the early parts thankfully that changed as the chapters went on. At the end I'm going to put a part with spoilers so if you read all the chapters than read that as well.

Likes:
-Good depiction of depression from a hard life and early life trauma causing MC to have a complicated and suffering romance life.
-Good depiction of a person with a romantic dillema and guilt of enjoying life caused by low self-esteem.
-Except for some characters nobody is all good or all bad and everybody is imperfect.
-Badass scenes
-The romance of the show wasn't too stupid and MC's actions felt real considering his personality not like some generic anime bullshit which everbody here defends that he was supposed to just make a harem or go with this girl or that girl.
-Good fighting scenes but not realistic at times.
-The development of the main characters fighting ability at the start was a bit stupid with a month of boxing beating people up and shit but after that was really realistic and the MC wasn't going around beating world champions like most fictional work from mangas or animes.
-Daldal and Moonyung best grills.


Dislikes:
-At the start MC bitching and whining about his financial situation and blaming that to not get face to face with his fear of women
-Love triangle parts with felt hard to endure as it repeated itself.
-Beating bullies non-stop for 260 chapters.
-Some characters were just thrown out.
-Queen was a piece of shit until relatively late chapters and suddenly turned into a love bird.
-Hesitation of MC felt bad at times but didn't seem out of place.
-Unrealistic fighting.
-''Girls can easily beat trained males who are 20 kg heavier than them'' (It makes sense if the male villians were actually not that good at fighting but the writer made it seem like it).

SPOILERS FROM NOW ON
Now my main problem was Queen character being made for the MC she is rich as fuck and both of them being shy and Daldal's way too pushy attempts made the opposite results because he has a fear of women. That made the romance predictable and boring at times. Nice stuff happened too, Daldal finding another guy didn't feel pushed at all and at the end turned up well for her. And the guy was much much a better guy for Daldal than the MC their personalities didn't match and he was meant to be with Queen. As a person who started to read this series because of the hot chicks fighting, I didn't feel bad or bored at all when the show turned more into drama which before was still half drama for me the fighting was just the theme of the series. MC's decision to reject both girls was unexpected and really made me feel his development (although I kinda guessed he would have felt real shit and go back to one of them but this path of not choosing one prevented much more suffering Daldal could have experienced imagine him choosing the Queen and she has to see them every fucking day like that) The last chapter was drawn stupid like ''Just wait here my love ill go kick some thief's ass'', It could have been a much more sweet ending or a shocking and bitter ending rather than this bland ending (I'm more talking about the stupid dialog and chasing a thief part Quuen and MC's certain love was expected and was expecting a better arranged ending).
