Can we just talk about how the soundtrack signifies anything demonic with the throbbing synth bass.
Thats a cool musical thing the soundtrack does.



Also Miki is Jesus except you're not supposed to kill her.

While we're on the subject of the OST, can anyone give me the title of the track that plays when (episode 10 spoilers) Satan and Psycho Jenny are flying on the hydra's back. It's a synthwave beat with choir

I’m so glad I stuck with the show after feeling kinda iffy about not being sure what it was trying to do initially. I really applaud Yuasa in making an adaptation that’s at the same time faithful, fresh and a kind of a highly entertaining and self-indulgent auteur fanwork. It’s obvious he must be highly into the source material.

I should totally check out the original manga

Most all of Go Nagai's works are sort of cornerstones for the entire medium of Anime.
Hes up there with Tezuka and Miyazaki. Respect comes with being in the industry.

nagai is way more influential than miyazaki tbh. nagai literally invented like 50% of the animes 'genres' that exist.

Main reason why I mentioned Miyazaki is his international acclaim. It'd be absolutely false to not put him as one of the bigger influences.
poo poo person-hood aside.

If Tezuka and his contemporaries mined the rocks, Nagai and co made it into bricks.

Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman is another one
Though they way the made it, it comes across a lot more like a shonen battle anime.
What with all the dust settles -> BAKANA?! -> person revealed by dust is smirking


What im trying to say its mired in that style of presentation and it suffers for it.





That being said:
Cool thing #135569 about crybaby
The fights are short, brutal and the hits all have an impact. None of the ATATATAT renzoku no back n forth

Yeah I think their point wasnt so much about japanese culture, but more about how creatively insular anime is. Drawing from the same pool of stock characters and scenes, generally being mired in the conventions without much critical thought into why these are the accepted conventions or how to effectively use them. Comfortable in the fact that if they have them theyll always have a audience.

Granted thats a problem in multiple types of media all over the world but thanks to the extensive codification and identification of these tropes, and the extent of how insular the (most vocal? Most obvious? Largest? I dont know for real) anime audience is, its much more apparent in anime.



Tl:dr Western media:Anime is as Rugged Everyman:Tsundere.

Miko wanted to rebel anyways, lots of pent up energy from the whole Miki thing.

Poor kukkun tho, gets some of the best lines in the entire show as his only ones then gets offed right after
