NEW DEVILMAN SERIES COMING TO NETFLIX IN 2018


If you're a manga/anime fan, specifically of the long running DEVILMAN series, then you've got something to look forward to in the spring of 2018; Devilman Cry Baby will land three years after the Devilman Vs Cyborg 009 series of 2015. Netflix has released a teaser trailer. (above)

The animation style looks a bit different from past series and movies, but I'm intrigued none the less.
Devilman was created by Go Nagai and released in 1972 as a manga about a month before it
debuted as a 39 episode anime. It tells the story of a boy named Akira Fudo who donned the skull of an ancient demon and became a demon-hero that fights other demons. I haven't had the occasion to read the manga, but I've watched a lot of the anime over the years, some of which is pretty damn horrific in the violence department (check out Amon on YouTube). There's also a live action film, but I can't recommend it, as the CGI is pretty rough, somewhat on par with an episode of Power Rangers.  
If you're unfamiliar with Devilman, check out this clip from The Birth...

  1. Woah! That’s nice. I believe it is important to show all kinds of genre to kids because they get used to all these things in life. There are shows by Andy Yeatman that teaches good things to the kids and there are horrifying shows as well that might scare them but will also help them to be brave in life.
