Plurk, let's talk about Devilman
You're Quinner
This isn't a "You should read/watch Deveilman" plurk
You're Quinner
It's a "Should you read/watch Devilman?" plurk
You're Quinner
because like... that depends, a lot
You're Quinner
Devilman is a manga written by Go Nagai, the creator of such goofy weird classics as Mazinger Z and Getter Robo
You're Quinner
There was a time at his life where he had some kind of crippling medical problem the details of which aren't important
You're Quinner
But he believed, genuinely, that he had months to live
You're Quinner
During this time, he write Devilman.
You're Quinner
It's... gripping.
You're Quinner
Incredibly bleak, raw, surreal, and sometimes really goofy and dumb between all those things
You're Quinner
It combines Mazinger Z's "we made the school bully his own robot and it looks kind of like him for some reason" nonsensical whimsy
You're Quinner
with bloody nihilism and chaos
You're Quinner
It's Go Nagai grappling with his emotions while staring death in the face, injected into a saturday morning cartoon about a boy with devil powers fighting satan
You're Quinner
An absolutely fascinating and hard to watch story
You're Quinner
there's a manga, which is described above
You're Quinner
an old anime that exists only to be memed,
You're Quinner
and then the 2018 anime Devilman Crybaby
You're Quinner
which I would tentatively call my pick for the Correct version
Where Is Harkan
(There's also an OVA that crosses over Devilman with Cyborg 009)
You're Quinner
it's directed by Masaaki Yuasa, who did a bunch of really weird-looking movies like Mind Games which you probably haven't seen
You're Quinner
as a result, it looks really fucking weird
You're Quinner
but like, on purpose
You're Quinner
with artistic vision
You're Quinner
it's extremely bloody and full of sex
You're Quinner
body horror runs rampant throughout
You're Quinner
it makes a number of story changes from the manga, which I personally think are mostly for the better
You're Quinner
it's an anime that will make you feel weird and bad
You're Quinner
but in a good way
You're Quinner
a powerful way, at least
You're Quinner
It's celebrated in certain parts of the LGBT space for being super weird and gay
You're Quinner
the sheer devastating scope of its final arc is something that I struggle to compare to anything else
You're Quinner
I recommend Devilman Crybaby if:
You're Quinner
1. You look at memes about depression and say 'mood' out loud
Where Is Harkan
Nothing else comes close to that Ending
You're Quinner
2. You really liked End of Evangelion
You're Quinner
or 3. You hate God
You're Quinner
In terms of trigger warnings... I'm not sure I could do a comprehensive list?
You're Quinner
If you're worried that a kind of content is in there, you might just best assume that it is
You're Quinner
https://i.imgur.com/GX1KhJx.gif That's my plurk about Devilman and Devilman Crybaby
magnet
the Worm Protocol applies, yeah
Where Is Harkan
the what?
magnet
from the author's own description of the web serial Worm:
"It would be easier to note the trigger warnings that don’t apply than all the ones that do."

https://images.plurk.com/3haW3UW24fzEOI7mP20XCZ.png depicted: me, having finished my pitch
oh i'm scary
Devilman Crybaby is
oh i'm scary
Devilman Crybaby is. end of sentence, end of thought
You're Quinner
it has to be seen to be believed
You're Quinner
I wonder if I'm ready to watch it again
You're Quinner
a year and a half later
oh i'm scary
I'm not
oh i'm scary
I don't know that I can think of a story that hurt me more than the last couple episodes of Crybaby
You're Quinner
yeah those last three episodes are ROUGH
Where Is Harkan
but incredibly fascinating
Where Is Harkan
like I was fucked up but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
You're Quinner

You're Quinner

Where Is Harkan
being too much of a weenie to watch Devilman is
Where Is Harkan
valid
Love Snake Kaja
Yeah Devilman is... Quite a lot
Love Snake Kaja
I love it but I anti-rec it for anyone outside the audience that will enjoy it
Lightning Bolt
i've watched others liveblog it and that's enough distance for me
Love Snake Kaja
I won't blame you
ᴍᴏʙ.
It’s a lot and like. Obviously. Extremely problematique
ᴍᴏʙ.
But it just turns everything up to 11 so hard that if you can overlook those elements it’s impossible not to enjoy
Love Snake Kaja
That's a big hurdle but yeah. I said I anti-rec it to anyone outside its audience but I super rec it to its audience
