Summary: The horrors of bad dubbing
Review: I saw the original subtitled versions of both Devilman volumes and that prompted me to buy the DVD, much to my dismay however, the DVD did not include a subtitled version, and the dubbing is amateurish at best, they alter plot-important lines, throw in profanity at every turn, and try and use british slang with american accents which only makes the characters sound really dumb. The original work of Go Nagai was a masterpiece of animation, but after the dubbed version was made it's barely worth even watching.

Summary: Awesome anime from Go Nagai--not for kids ya'll
Review: Okay, if you're looking for something light and fluffy your kids can watch, this is not it!! If you don't get it by the kid friendly title of "Devilman" and menacing demon on the cover, then go ahead and by all means show it to the grandparents as well! For those of you like me who listen to very heavy music at volumes loud enough to shake the walls, love Dario Argento movies, and don't mind seeing loads of blood and gore, then this might be the anime for you. Yes, the dubbing isn't great, but that's not the point. The story itself is very interesting. Akira Fudo is an average student. When his friend, Ryo takes him to his house, and shows him a mask that allows him to see into the demon world, Akira is rightly freaked out (he wets himself okay). Ryo then tells him that unless they both merge with demons, that they will never be strong enough to defeat the demons who killed Ryo's father. They really don't have a choice, it's either merge and become a demon or die. And they really don't have a choice about which demon they merge with (as Ryo puts it, if they don't get one that is strong enough to defeat the others, then they will die anyway). Akira merges with Amon, an incredibly powerful demon, and becomes Devilman. Akira does not lose his humanity, but is able to control the demon to some extent. Highly recommended for fans of Urotsukidoji, Twin Angels, La Blue Girl, Mystery of the Necronomicon...

Summary: Best Anime Film EVER
Review: This is the greatest Anime film of all time. It has all the best parts of anime - cheezy soundtrack gratuitous violence and nudity and a little something else... an engaging story line that will leave u begging for more anime - any anime just something to fill the knawing hunger. This is not a rent film this is a buy keep and worship film. Also a great film to convert the disbelievers among you If you buy one anime film your whole life this is it people!!!

Summary: A dissapointment to Go Nagai
Review: When I first found out the Devilman was going to be released on DVD, I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it.To my dissapointment(and DISGUST)I realized that the disc did *NOT* offer the original Japanese Language. I am an anime "purist" and I used to watch the original Jap. Lang and read the scripts for translation so I *THOUGHT* the disc would have the subtitles. But instead I am *forced* to watch a great anime film with sub-par voice acting which totally killed the emotional content of this anime for me. Parts I thought were dramatic and serious, are now comical and humorous.So very sad. Im going to get rid of mine immediately and buy the Japanese only edition (no eng. subtitles - I still have my scripts)
*Dont waste your money or time on this horrid edition*

Summary: DEVILMAN VOL. 1&2 (DVD)
Review: While the picture quality may vary, depeding on the quality of your DVD player, you will find the transfer of these two volumes to be exellent none the less. The colours are vibrant, and well defined throughout, with no distracting artifacts, shimmering or bleeding, and the sound is crystal clear. My only complaint with the DVD is that it doesn't offer subtitled versions of these two volumes,which is surprising since other MANGA titles do offer 'subbed' versions on their discs. All in all, this is a good disc. It's a very interesting and disturbing series, and will apeal to anyone who feels the need to want to see something a little different. Manga offeres many five-star anime titles on DVD. But I think it would be wise, on thier part, to always include both the 'subbed' and 'dubbed' versions of their movies on DVD, and make good use of the format. Perhaps when there's enough of a demand, Manga will do this. I know Funimation did it with their Dragonball Z series, after countless complaints from customers, and they not only offered subtitled versions with their discs, they remastered them and left them uncut as well, making them worthwhile. In closing, I'd give this DVD five stars, if it contained the 'subbed' versions of these two volumes along with the 'dubbed' ones. But since they're not present on this disc, leaving the viewer with only the inferior version to choose from, I have to subtract a star. I just hope someday a superior verison of this disc will be released. Until then, I'm afraid the only subtitled versions you'll find are sold separatley on VHS. If you feel the need to want to see this movie, I'd suggest renting it first, like I did. It's interesting anime, but I don't think it's for everyone.

Summary: Classic...
Review: Wow this one was full of action as was its sequel. The fight scenes in this one is one of a kind and few can compete with this kind of action anime. Theres not much a storyline but really who cares when the action is this fast paced. Devilman 1 and 2 are a little short is the only problem I have with this one. Just when it sent your heart racing it cut you off all of a sudden in an adrenaline pump withdrawl.
