Devilman Crybaby

This Hidden Horror Anime Gem Is Literal Depression Fuel

By

Devilman Crybaby doesn’t just deliver horror, it annihilates you. Which, for fans of the dark and disturbed, is exactly what we’re looking for.

Akira Fudo’s fight to expose an eminent demonic threat spirals into chaos and mass hysteria, building tension until it suffocates. With every episode, the stakes get higher, and the violence more relentless, until there’s no escaping the existential void it creates.

The original Devilman manga was created by Go Nagai and first released in 1972.

By the time the credits roll, you’re left broken. When I finished the last episode, I wandered in a hopeless haze for days after. It’s so much darker than bleak, it’s a gut-punch to your very belief in redemption or goodness. 

Devilman Crybaby isn’t just a horror experience, it’s an existential crisis wrapped in stunning animation. If you want to feel utterly gutted and experience a show that will destroy your optimism, stream it now on Netflix. You’ll regret it, but that’s why you’ll love it.
