I think that "Demon Man CryBaby" not only wins in the creation of the Japanese manga black and deep, but adds philosophical ideas on the basis of good looks, and has a core speculative theme, that is, it is the most profound when expressing the evil of the human heart.
Personally, I think that the most essential purpose of animation is to bring happiness to people, so I think that to be called a god work, you must meet three points at the same time.
1. Excellent direct experience (such as play, literary drama, logic, plot, etc.)
2. Have a strong spiritual experience or philosophical thought,
3. There is no fatal shortcoming, these three points are indispensable.
I had a long time doubts that the Japanese industry would never make such a depressing dark god work again, and after watching "Demon Man CryBaby", I could only say that it was indescribably cool. Episode nine is really strong enough to explode... As a seeker of tragic beauty, I was moved to tears, not to be abused, but to be shocked by that power.
I haven't seen such an excellent dark work for a long time, the ninth episode is absolutely explosive, at that time, I really felt that the current emotions were the culmination, whether it was the warmth of Ming and Miki that belonged to human beings, or the helplessness and anger at the end, really that moment was filled with various ideas and empathy for the work, it was really wonderful.
In fact, the animation is really good, not to shame the original at all, although the changes are not small, but the main idea is basically the same... Anyway, these two works give me the feeling that absolute justice and right and wrong do not exist, and everything will be different if the position is different. Relative to the demon people, it is their justice to protect humanity. For Satan, perpetuating the existence of demons is justice.
This ending compared to the comic ending, or added a lot of content, so that this character is more full, the overall look is really good no, at first when watching the comic, especially in the early stage of a lot of lines, scenes, and some small plots really make people feel very middle two, and with the current point of view, there are indeed a lot of things that make people very dramatic, but once patiently finished, the whole work gives people a completely different feeling, especially the last two volumes, really confirmed that the hell is empty, the devil is in the world.
There are many places to explore human nature throughout the story, and when I learned about the animation news, I was always curious about how far it would be restored, and it was Masaaki Yuasa as a director (at one point reminded me of the fear of being dominated by cat soup). ), so full of expectations to stay up late after reading this, sure enough to look good, the degree of reduction is 100%, the part of the magic change is very good, the sense of substitution is also relatively strong, super love hand tearing demon is good! 2018 is really the first year of animation, SaiGao SaiGao!
And the climactic part I myself think that the last episode is a little too sprinting, like to rush to the end, especially after the ninth episode at the highest point of the emotional stack, although the story tension is very strong in the tenth episode, but there is a little sense of hasty ending, although I also especially like the scene of the last scene of tears, but also the last part of my theme written, very interesting ~ I think the rhythm is indeed fast, but also need to be so fast, so that the audience will not have extra time to think about some of the shortcomings or loopholes in the setting, I used a very high-speed plot rhythm to bring these through; so I wasn't used to it at first, but once I got used to this rhythm, I would be very emotional!
