/a/ has a lot of irrational hate toward Yuasa OP, don't be expecting any quality discussion in this thread
I don't think I'm going to like the visual style especially if Yuasa uses that really thin line shit like his new movie
>>158558391
Nice visual
>>158558530
If the promotional image for Devilman is anything to go by, the two works won't look alike.

What a shame,
>>158558391
There's no way this isn't going to be AOTY 2018.
I wonder if Yuasafags or /m/ spics will be the more insufferable fanbase when this airs. Probably the Yuasafags
>>158558479
>/a/ has a lot of irrational hate toward Yuasa
What the fuck are you on about? He gets about as much "hate" as any other massively acclaimed director.
Will Eunyoung Choi's dumb views copypasted from her American animator friends get any "problematic" manga scenes censored or removed in the anime?
>>158559430
No, I think the goal is to be as faithful to the original work as possible.
Devilspic is shit and only Gainaxfags care about it. I recommend getting some taste.
>>158559533
Why get the Geass guy as the "series composition" guy, then? It looks to me like it's gonna be a reinterpretation or else you wouldn't need a famous writer guy on board.
Also for the record I'm not a "liberalism is bad" /pol/ guy, I'm probably more left wing than Choi. She just seems like a basic bitch "signal booster" for the most boring western US lib views from following her on Twitter and that kinda worries me as far as the impact it'll have on Saru's works.
Not a big fan of her as a writer either. But she's undeniably fucking fantastic at storyboarding & directing shit others wrote; Tatami ep 10 was my favorite.
>>158558950
I love Yuasa and have little doubt this will be at least pretty good but he really does have some really crap fans.
Yuasa's style is honestly far more comparable to Nagai's """""low brow""""" works than some of the gay western "art house" shit he gets compared to. They do simple stories anyone can understand but just like using weird expressionistic visuals.
>>158559628
The autistic /m/ fanbase hates Gainax though (I personally love them)
>>158559655
>Why get the Geass guy as the "series composition" guy, then? It looks to me like it's gonna be a reinterpretation or else you wouldn't need a famous writer guy on board.
What sort of logic even is this? Famous writers aren't allowed to work on faithful adaptations?
>>158559992
I dunno man. You're right in a way, he could have just chosen to work on the project because he's a manga fan & not asked for a shitton of money. But it could also be that Saru hired a famous writer so he could inject his writing style & themes into the work.
I mean it's not just called "Devilman", it's called "Devilman Crybaby". The comments I've read from the staff have been very confusing to be honest, it's clear they're using the manga as the basis but I dunno how far they'll go with reinterpreting. I think just doing the manga story with Yuasa visuals would be perfect, since really the original manga was already very visually weird and inventive and surreal so Yuasa's style of motion and color and whatnot would fit it very well.
People credit Mind Game entirely to Yuasa but a lot of what made it good was already there in the Robin Nishi manga, even visually. Yuasa just made it even better in an animated medium.
Also Nishi is a huge loli fag & friends with Sekihan so that's cool
>>158559628
Fuck off, devilman is great
>>158560104
They'll probably add the stuff Nagai added later like how Ryo and Akira met.
>>158559430
Lets be honest here, Devilman does have some problematic stuff. Nothing wrong with updating some of the content to fit the more enlightened sensibilities of the present day.
>>158558479
I thought /a/ faps to Yuasa more than plebbit could ever dream of?
>>158560593
fuck off.
Devilman is pretty progressive and overtly anti-fascist, just in an actual insightful manner and not based on the faggot neo-lib philosophy Choi fell for (cringed hard when she retweeted some "Hillary only lost because she's a woemyn" shit, god dammit never follow your heroes' twitters ever)
>>158560994

Shotaro Ishinomori's work in general also has these completely earnest hippie views about how we all need to get along as equals that would be considered pussy shit these days by both the left & right who are fucking in love with racial conflict
I'm consistently amazed at how much more likable the world views of these old-ass manga series from decades ago are compared to the modern shit
>>158560593
>problematic
Fuck off, tumblr.
>>158561215
once again though I don't want Choi to not have impact on Saru because she's a great animator & storyboarder and wanting artists fired for their views is obviously wrong. Tatami 10 had fucking amazing atmosphere and was the climax of the show as far as I'm concerned (always thought people kinda overrated ep 11). I'd just prefer if she didn't insert her politics in the shows or convert Yuasa.
>>158558391
Fuck this looks awesome. I was worried that it'd have that shitty line weight that Lu has, but that doesn't seem to be the case if this key visual is actually representative of the final work. Don't disappoint me now, Yuasa.
>>158561360
Yuasa's the boss of the project anyway, he'll put Choi in her place.
>>158561457
Yuasa seems way smarter about world politics. Linked an article that was one of the rare good Michael Moore comments, in this case basically saying Trump winning proves the system is broken, democrats fucked up & that it does not actually mean America is a bunch of literal nazis.
Yuasa is the kind of guy who understands why really fucked up violent & sexual shit is integral to the Nagai experience
Really Choi seems like such a pleb she probably just plugs that stuff to please her American friends & would be too afraid to actually call out bigotry in Japan or Korea. But it's just annoying seeing this gay shit chase me everywhere, even on anime creators' social media.
>>158560104
they literally said "original ending up to the LAST PANEL"
what better way to reach the original ending than adapting the original fucking story. Now if you're worried about some detail in some scene getting changed then that's another thing but Yuasa and Oshiyama also said it would be "sex filled and violent" so
>>158561955
"Adapting" sure but I could see it being a reimagining, it still ends with shit hitting the fan, humanity fucking itself over and a big showdown between Devilman & Satan but there's a lot of weird fanfictiony stuff
>>158562024
come on, they put all that emphasis on the original ending because everyone wants that. they'll keep it as is, the only thing I could see happening is replacing the full-frontal panel of Miki's head on a stake with something more indirect (not shitty jap TV censoring though, they wouldn't). But I think they'll keep it.
>>158562069
I'm still skeptical, I mean they even gave it a weird subtitle. If it wasn't a reimagining wouldn't it be just "Devilman" and not "Devilman Crybaby"?
>>158559195
You now realize you cannot name a massively acclaimed director that /a/ does not have an irrational hateboner for.
Yuasa Violence Jack when
>>158562220
Japan typically doesn't like to reuse titles for new, separate works the same way America does for remakes/reimaginings. There was already an anime just called "Devilman" back in the '70s.
>>158559870
>They do simple stories anyone can understand but just like using weird expressionistic visuals.
Which is why it's silly that he always gets brought up in the obscure/elitist tier of directors when his style isn't even that difficult to comprehend at all. Yuasa's by far my fav anime director, but it's hilarious how a lot people are intimidated by what he does.

>Why get the Geass guy as the "series composition" guy, then? It looks to me like it's gonna be a reinterpretation or else you wouldn't need a famous writer guy on board.
Because the original Devilman work is already kind of plot twisty, gay and edgy, let's not beat around the bush. Even a literally faithful adaptation would contain lots of stuff that, frankly, is not in particularly sophisticated or even traditionally good taste from a mainstream point of view (and thus wasn't in the sanitized TV version way back in the day).
>>158560994
That's an analysis of the theme. But the text, the actual content, isn't that clean to say the least.
>>158562220
They are going to make it more of an insane love story between everyone's favorite duo. Which fits even with the original ending.
>>158566388
Yuasa's studio Science Saru uses a Flash-based animation pipeline. I don't think it's inherently bad, but some people are cautious of it.
>>158562220
The Devilman OVA was called The Birth, I don't think it's that odd.
>>158566716
It was The Birth and The Demon Bird because the subtitles summarize the arcs covered.

Del Toro's a fag.
>>158572757
I think the main problem is I highly doubt Del Toro & the people going YASS SLAY QUEEN at that tweet actually care about Nagai's own work, just the Toei adaptations
Nagai's original vision of Mazinger was so different in the early chapters, he practically disowned the later stuff because Toei made him change it to turn it into an anime tie-in.
>>158566631
>and thus wasn't in the sanitized TV version way back in the day
>confirmed for not knowing anything about the TV version
>>158573266
Too bad no one seems to care about Nagai's original vision, except for Anno. Really, with some minor changes they could make a Mazinger adaptation loyal to the source and it'd pass as a modern anime. It has so many interesting ideas going on
>>158573266
Isn't this true even now? I mean, anime adaptations will always be more popular than the source and you'll get lots of people who only care about the anime but don't give a fuck about the source. So, if the adaptation's shit, good luck convincing people to give the source a try.
It's not like it's limited to Nagai properties, Del Toro and the people who replied to that tweet. It happens with most adaptations currently
>>158558391

>>158574667
What about Shin Mazinger? It's not QUITE the same but it's clear Imagawa loves early Nagai Mazinger. He even adapted the Lorelai story fairly closely.
It really pisses me off how Eva fags who only know Mazinger through the Toei show think Eva was made to "deconstruct" Mazinger and prove it's stupid or w/e dumb shit.
>>158574855
Sucks with Violence Jack cuz some of the manga stories were fantastic but Itano & the rest of the OVA staff just didn't adapt it that well. The changes made to the Evil Town story (like the villain cannibalizing his tranny waifu LITERALLY gave him demonic super powers, instead of being an insane animalistic act to show how fucked up humanity had gotten) really highlight the problem. The original was gory manly fun but it also had themes and ideas, the OVA adaptation ONLY got the "hardcore badass" part out of it.
Miki > Ryo
>>158561215

Holy fuck does she really believe that? Now I'm worried.
Everyone with an actual brain knows that Hillary lost because she stood for the status quo, at a time when people wanted change. It's that fucking simple.
Now I'm worried for Devilman. I don't want her pushing her views onto it.
>>158574667
>>158575142
Evafags aren't particularly smart or knowledgeable about other mecha.
Mazinger is the OG world destroyer. In both MazinSaga and Mazinger ZERO, Z / Mazinger Z goes on rampage and destroys everything on earth.
Mazinger is a lot scarier than Eva, and the only thing scarier is probably Getter Emperor.

>Holy fuck does she really believe that? Now I'm worried.
A lot of anime people are buying into this stuff.
Takafumi Hori being into Steven Univese made him get into identity politics, he treated Rebecca Sugar like a goddess just cuz she said she's bisexual & faved obviously made up "a Trump hat man attacked me, an oppressed asian lady, but a proud attractive black man came and saved me from the white devil!!!" stories
Kazuki Nakashima retweeted a horrifyingly bad Bush-defending, literally-friends-with-Hillary Asian-American neo-lib's take on a book about lower-class white southerners that was pretty much what you'd expect from such a person (maybe he was more interested in the book being discussed than her take, who knows; but it's still sad this is where he gets his info about US politics)
Mitsuyasu Sakai hasn't worked on anime in a while but he has influence on the industry and he's the worst by far. The type that unironically thinks Gamergate & "the alt right" got Trump elected and other utterly insane shit. He went to college in America so lol.
Japan is far from safe, as the industry's relationship with western animation creators improves more and more stuff like this will happen. Stuff like this is why I want Japan to stay insular. Hell they're better off being like Hiromu Arakawa & caring about their own oppressed groups like the Ainu instead of getting into American bullshit they don't understand to look cool & global.
I'm not a /pol/ type at all and in fact got into politics through anti-nationalism (my country is like /pol/ irl sometimes). I just hate the kind of liberalism that these people represent and it's really sad to see it's the only coverage they seem to get as far as western politics are involved
If anything Yuasa just got lucky since he came across an actually reasonable post-election take that acknowledged there were shades of grey (that or honestly, maybe he's just smarter than Choi)
>>158568560
Anime Japan commentary of how Ryo is also the protagonist and how his relationship with Akira, hate and love they share, is the foundation of Devilman.
>>158575713
Damn. That's sad.
>Takafumi Hori
Identity politics is morally wrong.
>Kazuki Nakashima
Holy fuck. Bush is a war criminal. What I hate is how neo-libs are now defending him because they think he's not as bad as Trump. It's disgusting.
>Mitsuyasu Sakai
Some years before Gamergate, gamers were defending violent video games from right wing loons, and now they're branded as alt right over the failure of video game journalism.
>Stuff like this is why I want Japan to stay insular
Same. The west is putting a lot of pressure on getting Japan to ban loli and shota. I'm glad that even Nagai stood for his rights back with during the controversial tokyo bill. After all he did produce Harenchi Gakuen.
>just hate the kind of liberalism that these people represent
I hate neo liberals and neo cons. When we get down to it, they're both hypocrites. Liberals needs to do some soul searching and stop demonising people with different views, and conservatives need to stop being terrible to people in general.
>he's just smarter than Choi
Not necessarily. I think the problem comes mostly from the media from both political spectrum, spreading bullshit and falsehoods. People who only watch tv news and don't bother looking up whether something is true or not is the problem.

Nagai would be considered a problematic edgelord now for the shit he pulled on parents who took offense to his work back in the 60s and 70s.
A really interesting aspect is that according to this dude a lot of the outrage over manga actually came from leftist groups in Japan back then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0xQSlsX9Y4

>>158576355
His basic facial construction is wonky sure but he's great at drawing more exaggerated expressions.
>>158576671
My point is it shows a love of the Nagai manga version and just feels more similar to it in tone than the Toei stuff.
Maybe I exaggerated the similarity of the Lorelai arc, I should reread the manga version.
>>158576355
You're just gay.
>>158576157
Really amateurish
>>158576918
you have no fucking idea how busy Nagai was during that time dude. what he pulled off is amazing given the circumstances.
>>158576863
>basic facial construction is wonky
It actually depends on which manga. If you're talking about his 70s stuff, sure, but that was a long ass time ago. Not many people even drew realistic poses well during that era.Go Nagai is a much better artist than what you give him credit for. Meanwhile, I've seen people fellate Miura, even though a lot of his scenes lack the dynamism of Nagai.
>>158576918
I've seen worse from guys like Matsumoto and even Tezuka. Or how about Kurumada's proportions? I can name hundred of other worse artists than Nagai.
>>158577058
I think the problem with more recent Nagai stuff is that it's very hit and miss and seems to depend on whether he actually cares or not. I dunno if some of the crappier stuff is even done by him or random Dynamic Pro people but for example look at Getter vs Devilman. Most of it has really bad poses and anatomy and looks very rushed, but then the Getter x Devilman fusion sequence is fucking MIND BLOWINGLY good. I can't help but wonder if he even drew the lazy stuff himself given a lot of Nagai manga is credited to "Nagai and Dynamic Pro".
The second half of Shin Violence Jack I thought looked mostly great.
Miura is definitely worse at action poses, searching "berserk fight" or "berserk action" or other stuff like that brings up a lot of really wooden stuff. He does good poses sometimes though, that one iconic Zodd vs Guts page for example.
Where did you find those raws? I'd love to go through them.
>>158576863
>Maybe I exaggerated the similarity of the Lorelai arc, I should reread the manga version.
Nah, the Lorelei arc was pretty much a direct adaptation of the manga chapters. It's also why it feels lacking in connection to anything else in Shin Mazinger.
>>158577238
Manga batch v4 that was originally on nyaa. Look up random raws on google. He's the guy who put up the batch in the first place.
What I'm showing you are some pages from his historical sengoku manga like Maeda Toshiie, Data Masamune etc.
These are all done by Nagai.
>>158577243
Shoehorning Tsubasa Nishikiori on the Lorelei's arc was awkward as fuck though. To be fair, anything related to Tsubasa Nishikiori was awkward as fuck and just didn't work but Imagawa was in love of her.
Anyway, the 70s anime's adaptation of the Lorelei arc was more loyal to the manga than Shin Mazinger
>>158577532
I liked her though.

COOL
>>158577903
I don't understand how someone can look at this and say that Nagai is a poor artist.
Like, pick apart his storytelling all you want - lord knows it has its flaws - but the dude is a solid artist with a distinct artstyle and a good sense of panel and scene composition.
>>158578404
It's cuz most people don't really pay attention to scene composition and paneling, they just see the anatomy is wonky & say "this is objectively bad"
I used to be kinda the same when I first read it as an underageb& long ago, I would see things like anatomy & perspective as "objective qualities" and stuff like composition and expression as "style" and thus entirely subjective. So I'd say "this is objectively badly drawn but I like the style".
I regret doing that now

>>158569104
Aniplex and Ichiro Okouchi as writer instantly destroys any and all potential this project has even with Yuasa as a director and Netflix as primary distributor and funder. The former is going to make them otaku bait the snot out of the project for domestic Japanese audiences and force Hiroyuki Sawano's bland vocal pop music onto it virtually guaranteed, the latter who is almost certainly only there because of Aniplex is a veritable shit script factory that has banked on "writer/creator of Code Geass" for well over a decade now and even by Go Nagai writing standards it won't be good enough. His scripts are just absolute fucking nonsensical trash with no consistency between episodes or even within some episodes at all and again while this is Devil Man and Go Nagai it's still going to get ugly. I really can't think of a worse combination than a director like Yuasa and a script writer like Ichiro Okouchi.
>>158580522

A company that fucks up virtually everything with it's sheer greed and an absolutely atrocious script writer is a valid reason to be concerned about something decent director or not anon. Granted if the rumors about it being a 20 minute short are true it might not even matter much anyway.

You mean like Ping Pong? Not to mention Working, Fune wo Amu, 3-gatsu, Mushishi, etc., etc. This "Aniplex ruins literally everything, freak out whenever you see their name attached to anything" shit is an exaggerated boogieman propagated largely by a single insane shitposter who gladly seems to have died and whom we absolutely do not need a replacement for.
>Okouchi

Again, a serious exaggeration. He's done two adaptations and ruined neither of them
>>158581308

>>158581036
Well they gave her to Saori Hayami in the last work that was produced by Bandai Visual (which might as well be the same company anyway) who is disgustingly popular so I assume they'll just go with her again.
I'm still confused as all fuck about Aniplex as a co-producer along with Dynamic Planning for this though as this sort of stuff is not in their Post 2010's wheelhouse at all. 2000's yes I could totally see them as a co-producer for something like this, but they're overwhelmingly an otaku/NEET moe baiting company nowadays. Like where is the monetary incentive here, how does teaming up with Netflix and Go Nagai to produce a Netflix series celebrating the guys career that they'll have little to no control over once it passes out of their production house benefit their bottom line in any way? Like there's no incentive to produce a fancy box set since it'll be free to all Netflix subscribers anyway and while I guess they can release the OST in Japan or something I'm pretty sure the merchandise rights to the Devilman franchise are exclusively held by Bandai unless that expired or something over the decades.
Like of all animation production companies this is the last one I would have ever pegged for being interested in signing on to a project like this. It doesn't even look like their peddling their usual Sawano stuff for an action/edgy based series again and it's just Yuasa getting to use his buddy from Ping Pong by the sound of the trailer so again where's the blatant monetary angle that usually defines Aniplex productions from the get go here. Like if didn't specifically state their apparent involvement on the home page and it weren't for Okouchi doing scripts for some reason I wouldn't have expected in a million years that it wasn't just Dynamic Planning handling it all themselves.
>>158581873
>>158580522
I said "a single insane shitposter who gladly seems to have died," but now I realize that it's fucking you, after months of apparent absence. Welcome back, Aniplex guy, now please fuck off again. We don't need another dozen threads every day ruined by your recycled wordpadding samefaggotry.
>>158577238
Berserk fights are much better than Devilman's "lol i shoot lasers with my eyes". Not just choregraphy but also intensity
>>158581671
Yes once in a while they do something that isn't otaku bait trash and we seem to be getting marginally more of that again lately particularly with the Netflix based stuff that actually needs to hit up a global audience beyond the NEETs for Netflix to commission more of it, but I still don't trust them as a producer whatsoever at this point for things like this. Like maybe they won't fuck things up and are low down on the list of production committee members with a say in things (certainly well below Netflix and Dynamic I'd imagine) but I certainly won't sit here and defend them as a good choice to produce something like Devilman. Like when has this company ever really understood the 80's/90's era of manga and anime so much as the post 2010's social media based layer of NEET Niwaka otaku types? They also seem to be outright doing everything possible to dismantle and depopularize the pre-2010's style and traditions of anime/manga at times and yet suddenly there's this and what honest to god looks like a showcase of respect for a historic content creator that they didn't popularize somehow. It's just puzzling.
There is some truth to Okouchi not being utterly fucking awful when he isn't just creating an original and throwing shit at a dart board to come up with ideas resulting in all over the place fucking narratives and characterization, but again wouldn't have been my first choice. I guess there's a pretty limited pool of supposed script writers these days though and god knows they can still bank on that whole wrote Code Geass which was popular thing. Like if we didn't get him we'd probably be getting somebody like Mari Okada the talent pool of known names in anime scriptwriting is just that dire.

Devilman is 70s.

While you're making up this whole conspiratorial bullshit, do you even realise the only reason we're getting a new Devilman is because it's Go Nagai's 50th year of career celebration? We're also getting a new Mazinger too.
It has nothing to do with whatever the fuck you're talking about.

You see the irony of it all is that the whole greater internet message board community is batshit fucking insane anyway and just full of argumentative perpetually complaining shitposters so what does it matter. Also ironic is that regardless of who is who or not in your mind and what labels you can attach to other posters to try to de-legitimize their positions, people like you would ruin your own threads with sheer paranoia and trying to find boogeymen, enemies, and people to bait and argue in circles with anyway. You don't need any one specific user to trash your board and threads, it'll be bad on it's own because of modern internet message boards need to just feud and bait over everything possible as it's definition of "meaningful conversation".
That's just how fucked up the current generation of nerdoms are as well that they'd very likely claim to defend some soulless corporations right to apparently not be criticized or disliked (At least in an instance where it means getting to argue with another user on a message board otherwise it's probably "fuck that company hurr Reeeeee" because somebody posting above you is trying to praise them for something) before they'd do something like not scream at their fellow fans who they treat like fucking shit to almost hilarious degrees. I believe Japanese fans with brains call these types "domesticated fans". They exist in all kinds of fandoms too, not just anime's though i used to think it was exclusive to anime recent years have proven I couldn't be more wrong. Just hard to take seriously.
Okay it's been a slice, enjoy screaming at random people and attaching labels again then.

And not even le Aniplex boogieman would fuck with something that's as much of a touchstone as Devilman.
>>158582136
>"lol i shoot lasers with my eyes"
lol you didn't read devilman
most of the violence is quick and brutal and not pretty, it's not pew pew shit at all

Netflix again

Devilman was already fucked though. See the 2004 movie.
>>158582693
I'm casually aware of this now yes. It's kind of sad that that's the only reason that this sort of stuff gets made anymore but still cool I guess cause this shits all but well and dead in this era dominated by the NEET waifu demographic of millenial anime fans. The new Mazinger one also isn't produced by the absolute last animation production company on the planet I ever would have figured to sign on to make a Go Nagai based product though and is bringing back Ichiro Mizuki to do the theme song which is boss as fuck. The Devilman one can still be good provided it has as little input from Aniplex and it's demands as functionally possible which it looks like we're getting and like the only reason here is to bait Japan into actually watching it too. Like fuck me and thank Christ we're not getting Hiroyuki Sawano soundtrack remix #14513541 and some unfitting as fuck act like TrySail or Kalafina doing the theme song or something for Devilman. It really does look like common sense and Dynamic Planning clearly and surprisingly prevailing on the decision of musical production.

That shit is pretty hardcore for nowadays pussies.

This desu, even in Joe, whose setting is not far away from Korean war, they kinda get that stuff quickly over and then get to the main point where all men remain the same

What did you expect

Calm your overly dramatic paranoid borderline baiting shit, get a grip anon and listen because if you ever take anybody here's advice it should probably be this for the sake of your greater mental health.
Again no matter who posts here or not it'll still be a salt mine of shitposting and pointless arguing regardless and your boards theme is about seasonal anime trash so the quality discussion isn't exactly coming into the mix anyway. It doesn't fucking matter. Once you accept this about 4chan your mental health in posting here will vastly improve. Like if you think the overall quality of posting on 4chan is going to magically go up if 1 or even 20 anons just up and quits the board overnight then I can't even fully define that sheer level of delusion and just not getting it and where you are posting at all. Nobody would ever notice if any one anon just left a board over night, nobody would ever notice if 20 did the same.
The TL;DR is that you're clearly just doing this back and forth so that you have somebody to argue and bait with over, but even still calm your shit bro and maybe worry about battles and things you can actually influence and potentially win. The internet isn't one of them, it took me a long time to realize this but I'm much happier and better off for it.

The Cutie Honey live action was nowhere near as awful as Devilman though.
>>158560593
The only problematic thing about Devilman is its retarded plot and characters.
Who gives a shit about Satan and his homolust?
>>158583894
Cutie Honey had a damn good pedigree, just like Crybaby. It's okay to be optimistic for once you know.

so when is the Violence Jack reboot coming?
>>158584031
It's probably going to happen eventually.
>>158583781
The Ruroinin Kenshin movies were great.
>>158584031
Hopefully soon, I haven´t been able to even read the original manga, I can´t find it completed anywhere.
Is it nescesary to read Violence Jack after Devilman or can i go to other Devilman related things first?
