Released in 1972 and still nothing has come close to this classic.

Devilman isn't good. The goofy parts aren't entertaining and the serious parts are too dumb to be taken seriously. It's just a bunch of shitty fights with an extra coat of gore.

The early parts of the story were just pure good fun. But even there you had great stuff like the completely violent and animalistic fight against sirene or jinmen. Or just Ryo's antics as a whole.

The later story progression is one of the craziest in all of manga. Its not suprising why a lot of future artists were inpsiried and influenced by it(Berserk, Clamp, Parasyte, Bastard etc). It pushed boundaries and managed to convey a message of love and war that is still and probably will always be relevant.

Devilman for all its faults had heart and thats what makes it a classic.
