#DEVILMAN MANGA 1972 SERIES#
The series has since spawned numerous OVAs, manga, novels, films, and a sequel.ĭevilman (デビルマン Debiruman?) è un manga di Gō Nagai pubblicato sulla rivista Weekly Shōnen Magazine di Kōdansha dall'11 giugno 1972 al 24 giugno 1973 e raccolto in cinque tankōbon. Many elements from Devilman have been seen in the Cutie Honey franchise, most often one or two of the main characters. Nagai considers the series to be his magnum opus. Devilman's 39-episode anime series was developed by Toei Animation in 1972, while Nagai began the Devilman as a manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine, barely a month before the anime series started. Devilman is a 1972 manga series written and illustrated by Go Nagai, it was loosely adapted into an anime series within the same year. Devilman, the most accessible English language iterations of either series are Discotek’s release of the 1972 Devilman TV series, Tokyo Shock’s release of the 2004 live-action Devilman film, and FUNimation’s release of the 009 Re:Cyborg film from 2012, but none of these are an ideal starting point.Devilman (Japanese: デビルマン, Hepburn: Debiruman) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Go Nagai, which originally started as an anime adaptation of the concept of Nagai's previous manga series, Demon Lord Dante. Renditions and on DVD by Manga Entertainment, and the 2002 Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier TV series was released on DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, but all of these releases are either incomplete, out of print, or both. The Devilman: The Birth and Demon Bird Sirene OAVs were released on VHS by U.S. The localization of each series has been a bumpy road: Comixology currently publishes 10 volumes (out of a total of 36) of the Cyborg 009 manga, while Glenn Danzig’s Verotik label published three chapters of the Shin Devilman manga way back in 1995. Both of these are climactic, series-defining moments in their respective manga, but even diligent fans may not be familiar with these chronologies, because neither Devilman nor Cyborg 009 are readily available in English language formats. This crossover takes place deep within the continuity of both series: after the ultimate confrontation with the Mythos cyborgs and after Devilman’s battle with Jinmen. Devilman assumes that the audience is already intimately familiar with Devilman and Cyborg 009. If you’re already a fan of either or both series, there’s plenty to enjoy here. This series also does an excellent job emphasizing the team dynamic among 009 and his compatriots. This version of Go Nagai’s quintessential anti-hero incorporates elements from both the manga and the 1972 TV anime, and the resulting fusion is a visual treat. The depiction of Akira Fudo/Devilman is especially compelling.
I never expected the science fiction trappings of laser pistol-wielding cyborgs to dovetail with the elements of dark fantasy and horror that define demonic possession, but combining Ishinomori’s creations with Nagai’s creations is like mixing chocolate with peanut butter.
This is unfortunate because the worlds of Cyborg 009 and Devilman mesh together seamlessly. Although each of the three OAVs clocks in at 30 minutes, the series feels like it’s over in a flash. If I have one complaint, it’s that I wish the series were longer.
The only thing strong enough to defeat a demon is another demon and it is through this logic that Ryo Asuka hatches the plan to have his good-hearted friend Akira Fudo possessed by a demon. In fact they are so strong that humans do not stand a chance against them in a fight. The story is little more than an excuse to throw the two factions into conflict, but the production design, animation, and action choreography are excellent. Read Devilman - Demons exist and their power is beyond what humans can fathom.
