conclusion: "normal" viewers shouldn't touch this movie with a ten foot pole, even fans of the original series should have problems understanding it, not even counting in the various logical errors in the story as the movie tells it. the fights aren't that bad, but mostly over after like 5 seconds and cant redeem the rest of the movie at all. the dialogue of the German version (which i watched) was painstakingly bad and sometimes even made you laugh out loud ("ich bin schliesslich Satan!"), the actors (if they even are actors, that is) mostly manage to keep the same expression throughout the entire movie. the single scenes are barely connected, in parts even contradicting each other. even with the knowledge from the original series this movie just makes no sense. Devilman (Japanese:, Hepburn: Debiruman) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Go Nagai, which originally started as an anime. Set in 2025, a roboticist named Fudou Yuuki joins a project involving a large mural depicting humanity's true past as well as the ancient but advanced technology found in Antarctica.
while the special effects didn't suck that much (but sometimes reminding of a beat em up on your average console) the rest of the move was brain-imploringly bad. but after watching the first 10 minutes it became abundantly clear that this movie couldn't live up to the standard of the original series.
After seeing the first two devil man anime on video some time ago, i was pleasantly surprised to find a real-life version of it on DVD.
