Devilman Crybaby (2018)Directed by Masaaki Yuasa "Devilman Crybaby" is a Netflix Original anime series comprising 10 half-hour episodes, and I had been reading good things about it, so decided to watch it. I finished the show today and thought it was very good. The show is adapted from a manga called "Devilman". The storyline concerns a high school student Akira whose friend Ryo tells him about the existence of demons, and makes him fuse with the demon Amon. However, since Akira is pure hearted, he gains the ability to transform his body while still retaining his humanity (into what is called a "devilman"). Ryo's actions set off conflict between humans and demons.The show has some pretty explicit content in the form of gory violence, nudity and sex (there is anime that is far more explicit though, for example, "Urotsukidoji" which I watched a few months ago in its uncut form, on YouTube of all places). The animation style is quite slick and well done, and I absolutely loved the electronic soundtrack by Agraph (Kensuke Ushio). For me, it kicked into high gear from Episode 7 and the last few episodes were pretty epic and a great end to the story. I would recommend watching it.I drew Akira as he transforms into the Devilman form. The drawing was done with 0.5mm 2B pencil and @Prismacolor pencil on Brustro sketchbook and scanned.#319 / 26-Jan-18
