wings are ripped off, eyes are popped out, fingers are smashed, stomaches are punched out, people are beheaded with kitchen knifes, breasts are ripped off and eaten. The positives end there, as the rest of the film is a practically an animated train wreck with too much red paint.Īpearently the world has ended and demons are fighting, and by fighting I mean massacring each other in graphic detail. And the sound is awesome as well, the actors seem great at making death sounds, and they must have had hundreds of death sound effects, not a single death has the same flesh ripping, bone smashing, blood squirting sound!
The animation is actually very good, It puts go nagai's nice art style into this nicely budgeted 2001 OVA. However, I might as well start out with the (Brief) positives to this movie.
say this, that wasn't far from the truth. in fact the only review i found warned 'if you find it enjoyable or worthy in any way then seek professional help.' I just laughed and commenced to watching. I came across this OVA, being a fan of the first two devilmans, wondering why I couldn't find any information, on this one. However, this 40 minute ova has, gore wise, single handedly outdone all three of those combined. Ive seen all of fist of the north star and was barely phased. Elfen Lied was my first anime, Gantz was my second. So, to summarise, whilst the Amon OAV is not great, it is a solid addition to the Devilman lore and if nothing else, allows it to keep it's crown as the most infamous, and meaningful, violent story in anime and manga culture.įirst let me start by saying this, I'm pretty desensitized to violence. I don't think anyone who realises that needs "professional help" but rather know how to react to a work that actually shocks them in this day of strong desensitisation. But Go Nagai's works, they always are, are meant to be, and I think some people forget that, and are too quick to rubbish them, and thus don't take them in the right way. In recent violent animes, the violence isn't strong enough to shock. However, even these do present to shock much like Go Nagai treats violence in general. It's pretty much a set of extremely violent confrontations, and not much else. well, about a man coming to terms with the bestial nature of the human race through the symbolic interaction of his soul with a demon's. In itself, this OAV effectively managed to translate some of the more harrowing scenes of the original Devilman story to motion, and it does those scenes justice.īesides that, the end sequence goes back to the whole message and point of Devilman quite However, I feel that like Violence Jack, it gets too much of a bad rap. It is the weakest anime adaptation of Devilman and isn't really as good as Violence Jack either, despite being equally as violent. It's not as good as the previous Devilman OAVs. I want to write this review in order to provide a more balanced view of this OAV.
