I like that it got me to check out a story I probably would have ignored otherwise. All I'd seen were some pictures of the 1972 series and I wasn't impressed, so I never looked into it much until I saw the trailers for Crybaby. I love the concept of a demonic superhero, and especially Devilman's design for this series in particular after going back and seeing some of the old series and OVAs. The art style was rough, sharp, and edgy, which I think looked better than if a more traditional style had been used; Go Nagai's original art wasn't conventional either, at least by today's standards. I'm not surprised to hear that Devilman served as inspiration to Kentaro Miura and Hideaki Anno.
