Quick derail: how are the Evangelion movies that were made recently? I think they are four of them, supposed to be a remake of the series? Are they good in any way? I'm always wary of remake, especially for something like Evangelion, which from what I understood had so much of it's atmosphere and themes born from the mess that was the production. I feared when hearing about the remakes a few years ago that they would clean it up in a calculated way that could remove the soul of the original serie. How did it turn out? I wouldn't mind giving it a watch at some point.

there's 3 out. 1 is just a part of the show with better visuals. near the end of 2 it starts diverging and 3 is totally different. 4 is not out yet, and who knows if it ever will be. they're great and a totally separate thing. they don't 'clean up' the series at all and are totally worth watching.

I can't tell you whether they're good because so much hinges on what happens on the 4th one and how it colors the events of the previous movies, but I'm hopeful. Watch the TV series first if you haven't, though.

First one is pretty much can exact remake of the first few eps. The second one is where it does its own thing and strays pretty far from the original. They're interesting and crazy but I won't have a full opinion on them until they're totally complete. As the ending is always where Eva shines.

Also devilman crybaby rules. It has so much style and is such an homage to ultraviolet anime and 70's adult animation. It's nice to have an anime where it feels like I'm going to get in trouble for watching it.

Thanks for the recommendations. Gonna check out Evangelion this month probably considering them. And yeah, I saw the original show about 10 years ago.

Just heard about this a few hours ago it totally snuck up on me and then halfway through the first episode I recognized that it was by Masaaki Yuasa and was like what the hell? I know he's done some very notable things like mind games, tatami galaxy, and ping pong but the first thing I saw that he did was kemonozume so that's always the first thing in my mind. The guy that did kemonozume has a netflix original series, wow. Speaking of of the Evangelion rebuild those are my favorite movies. The first two they just took the series cut out the worst stuff made the remainder better added a poo poo ton of world building which lead to a hundred more questions and overall it was a huge improvement. The third movie was like, eh, but I appreciate that they imply End of Evangelion actually happened in the interim, more or less, instead of writing it away completely like "uh yeah, we were on drugs when we did that" *shuffles away slowly*

Just binged through all of this. Loved the heck out of it. The violence, the gore, the sex. Not normally a fan of Yuasa's style but it worked really well with all of that. Also a good part of the core cast being queer is loving awesome. 8.8/10

MonsterEnvy posted:Two of them backstabbed them. One of them (the quiet beatboxing one.) recognized Kakun's Glasses on Miko's stuff and assumed she killed him, which is what appears to have led to his betrayal. (I assume he was actually just killed by a demon at the Sabbath.) This is unlikely. His half consumed hand is shown in miko’s proximity well into her turn to devillady. If he had been eaten at sabbath I think it wouldn’t have waited so long to show some of his corpse Condiv fucked around with this message at 09:59 on Jan 7, 2018 |

wielder posted:Frankly, I thought this was a great watch. If I had to give a rating to Devilman Crybaby, it would be about 8/10. Admittedly, the pacing might have benefitted from an extra episode or two to make the flow feel natural. I think that much is hard to deny. Why did they end up with just ten episodes though? That's such a strange number for an anime production. A very good post.

CrashScreen posted:Well, this made me want to read the manga, but I've also heard that a lot of it is redrawn inconsistently and without charm? Are there multiple versions floating about or is the English version restricted to one of them? I'd honestly like to read the original version if possible. The original manga is actually being (re?) released in English within the next couple months. https://www.amazon.com/Devilman-Classic-Collection-Vol-1/dp/162692757X It’s a new translation as well.

The sports/relay allegory was fine, but they didn't need to show the handoff scene 3 times in a row in the last episode, and the numerous times throughout. Same with the cat flashback, like, we got it, we've memorized the scene by now, please move on.

As someone who hasn't looked at any devilman stuff before i thought it was pretty good, it definitely falls off in the second half and kinda peters out in the end, but loved the animation and music and a lot of the direction, maybe could have gone without as much titties, at least in the serious tragic scenes.

Feels like it could have used a few more episodes. Also Jinmen was not as strong as he is in other adaptions. I feel the scene was weakened by Ryo's presence there.

Having never heard of Devilman before and finishing it in one sitting, holy poo poo I was not expecting that kind of ride. By the time episode 9 finished, I was so emotionally drained that the final episode seemed more like an epilogue/wrap up than anything. My biggest criticism would be how pitch black most of the action scenes were made it difficult to follow, but the  ultraviolence made up for it.

English or Japanese, it doesn't matter. Even if the movie is so-so I love the end theme of Apocalypse of Devilman. It fits the mood just right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnG1D2Oz9Lk

So extremely dumb question, but was it ever established why any particular individual would end up fused with a demon? Sometimes it seemed like it required really elaborate blood rituals, but other times it seemed like you could just be unlucky.

I completely failed to realize that the hip hop kids were meant to be a stand-in for the manga's delinquents, until the last few episodes. In my defense, at that point I also was not sure how far the series would go with just 10 episodes. And boy did they sure go there.

Having seen this makes me wonder how Mazinger Z Z-Hen turned out, I should maybe watch that. I saw the first couple episodes but I ended up getting distracted or something. Don't remember. I'm not really too familiar with Go Nagai stuff, but it's easy to see his influences on everything else. Guyver seems like a real obvious knock-off of Devilman now..

There are probably other shows / comics like that too, and if anyone wants to suggest any I'm all ears.

Just wanna say the most incredibly viscerally uncomfortable thing in this show for me was the bit with the kid munching on the mom which was 0% graphic and his design was really cute so it was very cool, how that happened. Also criticizing the realism of the portrayal of demonic government infiltration is stupid as gently caress

I quite enjoyed when the demons were shown on the battleship getting ready to shoot off some nukes cause they just cut from the one human being murdered and confused to the rest of the naval officers in their uniforms cheering in unison. It was so doofy and campy then it goes to Taro munching on mom.
