Devilman (2004)
8/10
Epileptic and Art Director Joy-Ride
11 December 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Okay, mdjoot, I bite: it's camp. I loved nearly every second of it, with exception of the CGI graphics. I'm kinda under impression it's this bad to reflect some video game they were trying to or did put out, or something.

I never read the books.

Japanese almost famous for giving their youth seizures from screwed-up videos: if you happen to be epileptic (which I am) there are two movies at the same time, and it's a roller-coaster joy-ride. You WENT there?! And didn't kill me.. it's AWESOME FUN!!! SPOILS: There are hidden frames dropped one-per-60-to-85 whole way through. Epileptics still register them.

The Hieronymus Bosch naked-pile-on representation of the Twin Towers nearly made me weep and holy sumi-e: art director, remember. GORGEOUS.

"Live" fight scenes awesome but the CGI ones lack.

Also, English version doesn't bother to translate main character asking for marriage to a severed head?
