Devilman Crybaby: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Critics Reviews

Emily Gaudette Newsweek Can be a difficult watch for Americans, especially if they've never heard of the Devilman franchise before. But it would be a waste to ignore such a gorgeous, disturbing series. Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Yuasa's narrative approach, of starting the series with much action and gaggy humor only to turn it into something completely dramatic serves the title quite well, as it retains interest for the whole of the 10 episodes. Dec 25, 2019 Full Review Toussaint Egan Paste Magazine Masaaki Yuasa's contemporary reprise of Akira Fudo and Ryo Asuka's "love" story is as orgiastically violent and unflinchingly risqué as Nagai's original manga, a fitting tribute to both the creator's oeuvre and the character's storied legacy. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Miranda Sanchez IGN Movies Devilman Crybaby is certainly not suitable for all viewers, but is one of the rare graphic action anime that has an incredible story to back up its fantastic animation. Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Megan Farokhmanesh The Verge It moves from jawdropping to heartbreaking at a moment's notice, but it never strays from being unforgettable. Jan 22, 2018 Full Review Matt Schley Japan Times Ultra-violence and heavy themes may not sound all that enticing, but the series also has its lighter moments, thanks to an offbeat sense of humor that's made Yuasa a fan favorite.
