“Devilman Crybaby is a pretentious pile of poorly drawn, ultra violent overly gratuitous tripe written by a manic depressive that ends on the down swing of their condition. It tries way too hard to shock through the use of tired tropes and cliches involving typical trite Japanese anime base views of Christianity. Thus, it will be hailed as visionary and the new 'Evangelion' by dumb people looking for something to feel smart for having watched, interpreted and suffered through its downer ending”

Found this review somewhere a while back and while it’s a bit too strongly worded and I wouldn’t say people who enjoyed the show are dumb, I 90% agree. Was a very overrated show that people seemed to hype up due to excess gore and shock value.
