Can someone tell me why it's good outside of just saying "it's influential"?

it's a good story that manages to convey interesting themes about humanity that can be applied no matter what decade it's set as demonstrated by the different adaptations
Josiah Rodriguez
The themes are interesting but I don't think Devilman implemented them well, as it omitted some parts of human psychology and skipped a lot of steps.
Maybe Crybaby did it better
Parker Harris
Stick to series for your kind. Yuri on ice or junjou romantica.

is this a joke? crybaby takes things about previous adaptions of devilman and makes them incredibly hackneyed and melodramatic. the characters are made so bland and inoffensive i had difficulty caring what happened to them. miki and akira barely interact with each other, you barely get the impression that they care about each other she seems so indifferent about him. ryo has a similar problem, the narrative makes it explicit from the beginning that he's satan rather than it being something the audience gets to piece together through weird things surrounding him, his betrayal in crybaby is so bad and nonsensical i don't know even people experiencing devilman first through crybaby couldn't anticipate it. the show adds so many stupid and useless subplots which just generally drag down an already boring narrative, plot points in the original devilman were very concise, they were often created and used immediately but they always served the narrative. devilman isn't a very long story so padding it with crap, especially when you cut storylines doesn't do crybaby any favors. the artstyle in crybaby is so sanitized and awful, i don't actually dislike yuasa like a lot of other people on Yas Forums do but his direction for crybaby was just terrible. the art for the original devilman was very gritty but it could also be goofy, the monster designs were unconventional and served to charactarize the devils as monster mash creatures. in crybaby the art is so plain and soft, i've used the word a few times but inoffensive is what best describes the art as well as the show in general. the devilmen new to the show have such typical designs, we don't get anything creative and unique like pic related we get woman with spider body and eyeliner. everything about crybaby feels designed to be liked by people who probably wouldn't like or might be offended by the original devilman.

No, it didn't at all. Missed the whole point Satan and Akira were alike and everyone was a jackass including Miki.
Joshua Parker
>Satan and Akira were alike
not really. Akira would have never done the same things as Satan.

Satan (in the past) was alike Akira. Akira also watched humanity die and get killed without doing shit to save them or feeling sorry about their deaths. He's not this crybaby good boi.
