Well it’s the start of the Winter anime season again, and this time we’re beginning things with an already-completed bang thanks to this new entity that is the completely original Netflix anime. As in a Netflix anime that wasn’t on Japanese broadcast TV a few months assist but created exclusively for the platform, meaning we can binge-watch the entire thing with rare complaints and if we’re mad, include one completed anime under our belt before the transmit shows even premiere. And it’s not just anybody who created this anime. It’s elitist fan-favorite Masaaki Yuasa teaming up with trainwreck writer Ichiro Okouchi to bring to life an ancient Go Nagai property that most of today’s fandom aren’t aware of, but it’s Go Nagai so it’s going to involve superheroes and something raunchy. Oh happy diurnal. Anime is saved. Bladeebladeeblah.

All joking aside, I’ve been avoiding most of the hype for Devilman Crybaby (if there is any besides from the loud Yuasa fanbase I mean) because quite frankly, I didn’t know what to expect from it

It seems like Akira's horrifying encounter and realization last episode has grounded him. Recall how he nearly raped Miki, but now they can have a touching and not remotely sexual interaction on the roof. It was one of the most touching scenes we've gotten so far, so wholesome. That and the fact his urges haven't been out of control anymore. We even got him crying again for someone being sad, someone being sad on the inside(alike that of Ryo perhaps?). It's important to note that Miki finally confronted him on his changes after having her possess miniature character arc. I'm positive Akira was out on the roof thinking about his newfound respect for devil life. This all coming together with how he tried to save Koda at the end, told Ryo not to, and sincerely felt for him. This was the most human he's been since episode 1! Drastic and subtle development, but immense for a series so short.
"You're not a human. But, You're not a demon either. You're a devilman! And I'm going... to save you!", a speech that contrasted his last which centered around a human and devil distinction, and ended in a climactic 'I'm g

if you’re interested in a Japanese perspective on LGBT issues in Crybaby, I found this article by a trans blogger. here are the main points in it:

  • the sabbath has couples of the similar gender and different gender, which normalizes the former.
  • Koda is a devilman and gay, but not a devilman because he is gay since others are possessed too. his sex scene is also normalized, not a stereotype or a joke.
  • demon/devilman hunting resembles anti-gay persecution (sodomy laws, gay allegations, AIDS crisis, etc), especially because lgbtq+ people are historically connected with demons.
  • Crybaby uses apocalyptic imagery from the Bible and the Christian Makimuras are portrayed respectfully.
  • Ryo televising Akira’s devilman transformation resembles outing.
  • admittedly “maybe I’m reading too much into it” and “of course, this is a high-handed explanation. I think so too.”
  • referring to the demons as “ancient people” brings in colonialism, which also caused anti-gay persecution.
  • Netflix’s English subtitles using “foreigner” and “mix” instead of “gaijin” and “haafu” changes the nuance of Ja

    I was catching up with the recent anime adaption of the game “Persona 5” when a certain inclusion reminded me of something I had hoped to forget. It was 2017 and I’d finally gotten my hands on “Persona 5”, a game I’d been highly anticipating as a fan of the franchise, but the delays seemed to be worth it for the stylish, engaging product we got. Good for the most part…. There was one moment in particular that rubbed me the erroneous way, the appearance of these two characters:

    The recurring characters of Beefy Trendsetter and Scruffy Affectionate left me with one question, why are characters appreciate this still appearing in this afternoon and age? “Persona 4” came out in 2008 and that had a character struggling with their sexual self in addition to a potentially dateable male character. While the latter was pulled just before release, this felt like a step in the right direction. It felt like a punch in the gut seeing these outdated comedy stereotypes of gay sexual predators making advances
