literally everything else evoked the feeling of “Classic” anime so this lazy “let’s make it look lovely like anime used to by downsampling it” stood out in a bad way

Its very in line with those 80s OVAs that we all used to come across. The animators really had fun working on parabolic breast mechanics, as well.

they did the early schlocky devilman bits well but as it went on I liked it a lot less (though there were some good bits in the back half) and ryo's design was a huge downgrade

I wish I'd watched Devilman Crybaby through episode 5, and then had the ending spoiled for me, so I wouldn't have bothered with the rest. I was on board with an acid-soaked metaphorical contemplation of teenage sexual angst, but then it tripped over the common anime invocation of religion/the occult to raise the stakes and fell face-first into nihilistic misery porn. Really everything from that scene in episode 9 until the end felt like a big middle finger to the audience, no matter how many wings, tits, and dicks they drew on Bishie Satan. I like weird, and artists reaching for something, even if it's beyond their grasp, but I just plain hated that anime after it was over.

the ending is one of the best parts of devilman. can't remember how i feel about the relative merits of baby's take versus the 70's manga though.

The last few episodes of Crybaby were about how vain and purposeless it is to hold your feeling of being human above continuing to survive, but also that that's the most human thing you can do. I would consider it misery porn if Miki et al weren't clearly represented as being correct, but that's not the case. They tried as hard as they could, even beyond the point of rationality, and it just didn't work out. Even then, the ending is optimistic and shows that life goes on even in the face of apocalyptic collapse. I really don't consider it misery porn at all.

I got what the Crybaby ending was going for and I basically, like, respect it, but I just personally don't really care for endings where our actual protagonists don't really find any peace or catharsis, and I would certainly say that of Crybaby. Can't speak to any other Devilman stuff.

I do think that it's a bit more reactionary towards other anime than it is a personal declaration, if that makes any sense. As in, in most anime you take the apparently fruitless optimism and humanity of the protagonists as a foregone conclusion. Of course they're right, of course they'll be proven to be right in the end, yadda yadda yadda. Crybaby seems more focused on showing the other side of that, that just as often (if not more so) that optimism and humanity is punished just as severely as you'd expect it to be. It is a little bit weak-willed in hindsight, but in the moment my heart was captured completely.

It brought all the gays on this forum together to yell at that weird guy from D&D in the thread, which is a lot like how all the gays in Devilman Crybaby come together to pass the baton to each other

i like the crybaby ending because the death doesn't matter, the baton they passed among themselves has gone even further to a new start for everyone. having an optimistic read of the show seems to be not as common, but that just seems weird to me given it's a yuasa show

Coaaab posted:There were two different takes on the fate of Miki's family that I thought were equally devastating. How humanity eventually screwed itself over was pretty much the same. And Crybaby went into more detail on the giant war before god decided to reset eveything. One of the biggest differences unmentioned so far is about Akira. In other versions, he basically abandons mankind. In Crybaby, however, he picks up the baton. Despite everything, he still fights for the future of humanity, believes there's good in the world. What he loses (and why he loses) is his previous superhuman empathy, the ability to forgive the unforgivable and love the unlovable. Before Miki's death, Akira stopped a stoning and for a brief moment, drove back the mob violence and remakes a small slice of the world in both of their image, showing that even people at their worst can be redeemed. But then Miki dies, and he loses that. He can't cry any more, can't forgive Ryo, and can't stop things from ending in bloodshed and oblivion. To go all Russian novel, he falls from being Sofya Semyonovna Marmeladova to merely Porfiry Petrovich. Still virtuous, but unable to challenge the inherit nature of the world.

Terrible Opinions posted:See here I thought everyone in America was forced to read a Cormack McCarthy or Steinbeck book at some point during high school. While it's not one of his more popular novels, Steinbeck's The Winter of our Discontent was pretty excellent, and the ending is kind of an interesting mix of both kinds of endings, / being open ended enough that you don't know if the protagonist is going to be able to survive and/or turn his life back around, but it's an interesting mix of optimism, desperation, hope, and doubt.
