RE: Should you really watch Devilman: Crybaby?
I give this anime a chance, it was edgy as fuck with nothing to keep me engage so I drop it on episode 4.
The weird art style make the gore and sex feel soo cartoony that make me not care one bit for it, this Miko chick does nothing and she is also irrelevant to anybody in the main cast which make me don't care one bit for her despite the show wanting me to care and she feel more like filler because you could remove her and nothing would change in those ep... oh and how convenient that Akira's parent get attacked like that... and the main cast, is barely interesting...
If you think it's edgy you shouldn't be complaining about the art style. Imagine how edgy it would be with a more realistic style. Miko becomes relevant in the second half, which is why she has all the setup in the first. Akira's parents were never characters and did nothing. It's much better that they were used in some way than if they were forgotten about completely. They're solely a plot device to further Akira's character arc.
maybe I would be sold with a more realistic art, even if only for more shock factor sake...
So you want it to be edgier, despite thinking it's too edgy?
well, that is the selling point of it, right?
it have ton of gore and sex, but I like I said I don't give a crap for any of it because it was like watching Tom & Jerry or something
Pushing the boundaries and being edgy was one selling point, but the other and more important one was what happens towards the end including the ending.
as the beginning does not engage me in any way, why should I care for the ending?
watching a serie just for the finale is not a very compelling reason
It's a compelling reason if the entire story is built around the ending. The original manga is famous because of the ending, among other things.
I don't care about the manga, by you own description it was famous only because it was shocking not necessarily because it was a good story, a good writer can engage you from the beginning, don't you think?
I'm not going to buy the promise of some fantastic ending if you can't even pull a decent start... (it don't even promise me that fantastic ending at the beginning to at least try to hook me with it...)
I rather rewatch Hellsing or Berserk or Eva or whatever else that was inspired by it
