Mar 20, 2012 Donwun Recommended This is one of the first animes i ever saw and considering it’s themes it’s clear to me now that when I began my anime journey this anime in particular probably had a profound effect on my young mind for both good and bad reasons. Storyline Akira Fudou is your typical kind hearted high school student. He looks after cute little bunny rabbits while at school and has a nice girl friend (not dating) that he lives with since his parents are away on an excavation in the South Pole. One day while walking home from school Ryo, an old friend from Akira’s childhood turns up out of ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 31, 2018 bibi-fan Recommended For any fan of the recent Anime Devilman Crybaby and wondered if you should give this OVA a try, this review is for you. At this point, you’ve probably seen a couple “Devilman dub is gold” or “Devilman dub is a treasure.” The sheer quirkiness of some of the dialogue has made these videos become incredibly popular. After it being brought to your attention, you might wonder is Devilman: Tanjou-hen worth watching? Story (5/10) The story of Devilman: Tanjou-hen (also known as Devilman: The Birth) is much the same of the devilman you already know. Akira, young weak boy meets up with his good friend Ryo. Ryo ...

Nov 1, 2013 Shura-shurato Recommended well....i´ll guess it was COMPLETLY my mistake that i took this anime quite ´lightly´ back in 1999,as a 13 year old to find this kind of anime in a bargain bin on vhs and at first it din´t look that scared, till i watched it afterwards, in those days it was like `anime´s forbidden fruit´ to younger kids .

Mar 6, 2018 iBlewupthemoon Mixed Feelings So, you've probably seen Crybaby if you found out about this. The big question is "How's the OVA's?" The answer? "Eh?" This OVA takes basically the first part of the manga where our wimpy hero becomes the hero that Japan deserves, Devilman, and drags it out ad nauseum. Crybaby had the right idea condensing the part this OVA adapts to a single 20 minute episode, because its littered with boring exposition and flashbacks that you are likely to skip. Despite the lengthy runtime, we don't get a whole lot of development from our main characters, much less side characters like Miki, who were absolutely spoiled in ... Read more Open Gift Report

Feb 13, 2016 Cooltaff12 Recommended Back when the original TV series was airing, there wasn't any real adaptation of Devilman. Sure the original TV series existed, but it went on a different path than the manga. However in 1987, we finally saw an OVA that promised us to follow more closely to the manga. Was it any good? Well, it depends on how you watch it. If you watch it with knowing what Devilman is about, then you have an interesting and entertaining adaptation. But if you watch it as an introduction to Devilman, it might just be an introduction and nothing that special. Unlike Fist of the North Star ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 20, 2008 Kain Not Recommended Its a very dark and weird anime. This is the first one of the movies. Its where you see how he becomes devilman. Its not really that good of an anime but its ok to watch if your a little bored. You should have watched this one before seeing the next two movies because you see how hw gets to know his girlfriend. Defintely see this one if you want to see the sequels which have some good action scenes and a ok story;) Read more Open Gift Report

Mar 26, 2014 devilfatbear Recommended I noticed there are a lot of Devilman reviews that don't get a passing grade. So I'm going to attempt to be the one that break past the marks. Devilman is similar to other anime. There is one driving plot and characters have common traits, but Devilman has a special predicament that makes it irresistible. It has the scary demon theme, the insertion and deletion of fear, the cold hard sweat of anticipation and excitement. There are demons planning to take over the world. One man's normal life is shattered and there is no return. After pushed by his friend, he has to accept the job ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 24, 2021 JuneNephthys Recommended This is the volume of Devilman that sparked an on-going obsession with the franchise! This brutal, beautiful, and utterly phantasmal addition to the continuity is a wild ride from start to finish! It's a great way to introduce Go Nagai's most famous narrative, and to this day, Umanosuke Iida outshines many modern, sakuga directors with his wash of color and experimentation! If you have the stomach for violence and gore, "The Birth" is a must-see for any anime fan! ⚠️ This review of Devilman: Tanjō Hen will contain spoilers ⚠️ —Story/Characters This anime starts off in the realm of the ethereal, showing groves of gossamer fairies in the ...

May 19, 2014 Remand Mixed Feelings First it takes place in the modern world, then it takes you to the forest. Ryo brings news the demons are awakening. Fudou Akira is your terrified guy. Ryo is obsessed with something grand. He takes Akira to the forest. The timing of the demons were terrific though. It's a well-balanced mix of horror and demons. Underpopular, but not worth much.

May 30, 2021 xokker7 Recommended If you are interested in watching Devilman this is the best route if you don't like reading. I say this because this is easiest the best Go Nagai adaptation without deviating or doing seemingly weird changes which Devilman anime suffered the most from. It changes some things to be more 80's and it pretty much works. The only thing common in Devilman adaptation is that the soundtrack kicks ASS! The OST featured in this anime is very great and fits the Devilman story well. The shot composition and animations are on point, giving you the best Devilman experience other then the legendary manga. Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 18, 2012 shinigami1987 Recommended STORY: Pretty good origin of the character. Though it can seem a little long-winded and you can't help but feel that there should be a little more of Devilman himself in it. ART: Gory as hell...if you like that sort of thing. I personally do, but it may not be to everybody's taste. SOUND: ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 21, 2020 BerserkerGapher Not Recommended Honesty this movie(dub that is) is ironically one of the funniest things ive seen. Just the line delivery is so over the top that it carries the movie. The pacing is actually pretty decent tho but that probably due to short running time. A lot of things bugged me tho like how the music never fit any of the scenes. I had a hard time telling if a scene was supposed to be scary, badass, funny, or sad because all the music cant empahaise anything and when it can the voice acting ruined it. The characters were kinda forgettable and the story was really ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 5, 2012 barcaman101 Recommended I'v heard a lot about the devilman title over the years,some good ,some bad needless to say after this ova ill be watching a lot more of it in the future. Akira is your typical high school teen,one day after recieving a beating from thugs he gets an unexpected visit from his old friend Ryo who seems visibly on edge and insist that akira comes with him . Ryu tell akira about how his father commited suicide when he was driven to madness due to a strange demonic artifact and his research into the demonic realm.

Feb 2, 2019 WhiteWolfKiba Mixed Feelings Devilman: The Birth is the first of 3 80's/90's OVA's that adapt roughly the same material as Netflix's terrible Devilman Crybaby. This OVA is somehow both worse and better than Crybaby at the same time, and I'll explain how. First of all the artwork/animation is actually quite good. Despite being made in the late 80's the anime still looks good today because the character designs are very detailed, unlike the 2018 Crybaby. Unfortunately, BECAUSE the art is more detailed, when something very violent/gory happens it makes you sick to your stomach, more so than Crybaby made you feel with its lack of detail in the ...
