How would you adapt Devilman?

Given how much of a disappointment Crybaby was, how would you have done things differently?

They did a great job considering the fact that they only had 10 episodes

What if Rob Zombie made a movie adaptation of Devilman?

Follow the manga faithfully.
Less anime original crap.
Keep the original character designs.
Make sure it's well produced with nice action and lots of blood and gore.
Use cool rock music.

Could try adapting it instead of making up your own shit. People who adapt anime don't seem to understand this simple concept.

The 80s OVAs were great, and didn't have to copy the tone of the manga to deliver amazing cool shit.

But neither that, nor something that faithfully captures the spirit of the manga, can be done in the current industry.

Crybaby was perfect, so nothing.

In current year? Forget about it.

Doesn't help matters that they splurged on Go Nagai's 50th anniversary as a mangaka. Probably explains the lack of Devil Man fanfare this year, despite it being Devilman's 50th anniversary.

No it wasn't.

You don't
Let the manga be instead of trying to get everything to have an anime to appeal to more consoomers

I have still yet to hear an argument besides "it's too different from the original".

Yes it was.

this.
basically just animate the manga. i dont understand people who want anime only content.
the 'crybaby was good' trick stopped working two years ago. if you want to wack the hornet's nest and get a reaction, you'll have to try something else.

Crybaby wasn't even that different from the manga, I don't understand why people act like it's a completely different story.
The only major differences are Miko and the way demons are revealed to the world, everything else is more or less the same, just condensed for the format.

It had rap music in it and a funny run, so I hate it!

There is no point in "adapting" Devilman in the current year. The idea is about as dumb as wanting a faithful adaption of the Astroboy manga. That kind of tone, dialogue, progression etc is better left in the decade where it belongs. But what did Astroboy get 35 years after its birth, among other things? It got Pluto. That's what you do with these old properties, you gave them to artists with a vision to reimagine them. Crybaby was great in this regard, but so much more can be made. Imaishi's take on it would probably be histerical. I wonder who could do a very realistic, down to earth version other than Urasawa.

The original Devilman manga holds up

Yeah, about as well as Astroboy.

It was funny then and it's still funny today

>dislikes the original manga because 'it's of its time'
>posts the meme page
A walking stereotype

Who said I dislike it?
And pretty much any page of the first volume is pure gold.

>any page
Yet you suspiciously post the two meme pages to make your point
