Just bear in mind that although Devilman is a shounen show, it can be quite disturbing and I wouldn’t recommend you watch it if you’re squeamish or still a kid.

And aside from its most recent anime adaptation, Devilman: Crybaby which blew up in 2018 and introduced many to the Devilman mythos, the rest of the franchise still remains sort of niche outside of Japan.īut if you’re one of the few planning to delve deep into the Devilman anime franchise, then this post is for you. Well, the main reason is probably that it’s old, very, very old, as a matter of fact, the original manga turns 50 this year. So why is it that Devilman is not talked about more when discussing anime and manga?
