This new, big budget adaptation of the long running, hugely popular horror/action anime created in 1972 by Go Nagai is the sprawling, apocalyptic and violent tale of battling demons that has a considerable cult following.
It involves the accidental release of a demonic species from Antarctica, whose numbers spread via an infection, which corrupts and transforms normal people. This leads to an apocalyptic war, in which humanity's only hope is Akira (Hisato Izaki of Japanese boy band FLAME), a weedy teen who merges with a demonic entity to become Devilman, a powerful, yet conscientious beast that fights both monsters and the fascist and brutal human forces trying to wipe out the new species.
Akira is opposed by his former best friend, the somewhat psychotic Ryo (Yusuke Izaki, twin brother of Hisato, and fellow FLAME member), who becomes an equally powerful demon, and a host of other creatures that pop in and out of the story before it all conveniently finishes up with a climatic showdown. |
