Devil Man has been in theatres since last week. This movie's original was manga by Go Nagai. Go Nagai was big in 70s, a lot of his manga remake into TV cartoon, Mazinger Z, Cutie Honey(movie),Getter Robo etc,. And Devilman was remade into a TV cartoon too. You can look and listen to it's opening (movie) here. I LOVE THIS SONG!!
In Devilman, the most famous enemy was female devil Siren, I am sure her slightly sexy mood and appearance was enough erotic for little boys. Actually in the real movie, they chose Siren as enemy. Ai Tominaga is fashion model works in Europe, she acts Siren this time. I think this is good good cast.
Nagai's cartoon and manga were just fun entertainment for kids. However my friend insists they should demarcate the original Devilman manga from others. He says it has more deep themes, Devil, Human, Justice, Love, -are humans worth protecting?-. Oh well actually Go Nagai rewrote "La Divina Commedia" by Dante as manga by himself. He would have been interested in such theme. I am not sure so, many adults have loved Devilman for a long time, some say Devilman is Devilman his trauma. ha ha. And there are many expensive real figures of Devilman and Siren. The Game has a slightly dark mood. I can sense they treat this Devilman differently from the others.
Anyway watch this real movie trailer. Looks interesting? No way. More new rubbish...I think many Devilman fans are angry... no?
i really like it!!!!its the best!!!! i hope one day i can post my own story in this site....

First it was Cutely Honey (I did not watch it though, but I did hear from my Japanese friends it was quite popular when it was in the theaters) then now Devilman! Looks like Go Nagai's works are slowly being turned into movies one by one!
What next? Mazinger Z? That would be great nostalgia trip as I love to watch that show when I was a kid! :)
