I often don't care that much about endings anyway, because they have a hard time wrapping things up in a way that satisfies my bizarre and byzantine expectations. If you stopped this episode without watching the whole credits, you fucked yourself over. Akira's reaction is not surprising in the slightest, I know some people have said it's too much of a heel turn from "I won't kill humans" to "burn in hell", but he just found the one person he truly loves dead and he body cut to pieces and displayed in triumph.
Miki's death was hard to take, real fucking hard. Miko's speech was a highlight, it showed maturity of character, and was brilliant script work, the confession as they were running away was sweet as hell, and it hurt me when she gets shot to a point she can no longer run. The scene in the stadium was powerful, it shows us that hate is a learned behaviour, and through Akira's tears and willingness to take the pain in place of the humans they had decided were demons, as well as Miki's social media post (she's so damn pure), they come to realise that what they're doing is wrong. I can not deal with what happened at the end there, I'm too accustomed to the day getting saved. By making the episode more contained, focusing mainly in the Makimura house and one other area, it really brought the atmosphere up too, so that when the mob shows up at the house, you're utterly terrified of what will happen.Īnd rightly so, because these guys are not fucking about, it's one thing to kill someone, it's another to mount their head on a pike and parade it around. From start to brutal finish I was on tenterhooks throughout. The tension through this episode was fucking amazing. Ryo's turn at the end was great, I loved how confident and arrogant he was with it, his body language was like that of a performer, and now we finally have out 2 main protags at logger heads.Īgreed with on this, an early contender for AOTY already. I love the demon designs in this, they're so other worldly, I particularly like Miko's design, it's refreshing to see a female demon design that actually looks like something other than an excuse for fanservice. Gore looked damn good this episode too, that blokes eye just sitting in a pool of brains and blood next to the rest of his body was a great touch. his immediate instinct is to protect his family, at the cost of his own life. Fuck, that scene with her dad not knowing what to do, he seems resolved that Taro isn't his son, then a second later has to lower the pistol because he can't do it, then when the decision is being taken out of his hands. No one is safe from a bullet to the head. Proper oppressive and grim atmosphere now, the world really has turned to utter shit with paranoia rife in both the public and the armed forces.
And I've taken this forum's and Eyepatch Wolf's advice and started watching Kaiji, looking forward to checking out some more classics in the backlog. It led me to give Nichijou a second chance for some needed uplifting laughs and now I'm almost done and heavily enjoying it. It reignited my passion for the medium, it's been a while since I felt excited for an anime like this. I'd read the shit out of Neo One Piece, personally.Īnyways, this certainly isn't for everyone, but it holds a special place in my heart. But it makes me wonder why that isn't a more common practice. I think Neo Parasyte was the same concept, never read it.
Devilman manga panel series#
Neo Devilman is a series of anthology stories in the world of Devilman each written/drawn by different mangakas and that's worth checking out if you like this series. Or save it for a quick DTMB, if that's a thing. It's a decent read, but I think Yuasa made it more special with Crybaby.ĭon't read Shin Devilman, it's weird in a bad way. I went back and read the Devilman manga, I can safely say Masaaki Yuasa's interpretation flourishes in comparison to the original material. If I were a less biased critic that doesn't only rate shows by my level of enjoyment, I'd probably rate it 3.5/5 or 7.5/10.īut I felt compelled to watch the whole thing at once, its whole presentation and style really resonated with me and I got hooked into the plot and characters regardless of any writing flaws. I rated it 5/5, no I don't think it deserves that rating objectively by any means, and I can understand how its writing's not the strongest, characters could've been developed further and their actions sometimes served the narrative more than they did themselves. Just popping in to say I really loved this show.
