Trivia:

Based upon Gô Nagai's manga, "Maô Dante" ("Demon King Dante"), originally published in Bokura Magazine from January to June, 1971. Dante himself was considered by many to be a prototype for Nagai's more famous character, Devilman, created the following year.

Stinks !

In what the hell were the Japanese guys thinking when they accept to produce and waste their money and time in this garbage ?There are many good anime shows ,but this isn't one of them .It is true that Go Nagai works are very appreciated in Japan ,but not for that all his works are good .This is just a bad clone of "Devilman " (of the same creator )but also is extremely boring and stupid . The characters are stupid and uninteresting ,the cast of voices it's terrible . The script is dumb and gratuitous : every moment the writers look for a cheap excuse to add gore and naked girls( that makes it not only idiotic ,but also misogynous )The animation is bad ( they use the same frame for many chapters )the fight scenes are poorly made ,not to mention the plot holes and the unintentional humor . ( Actually ,it it is so bad that isn't even funny ) The music is the horror : the opening is decent but not very original.The rest is just garbage ,and it seems like it was made by a cell phone .Finally ,it don't have any thrill or fun to keep watching it.Avoid it like plague .
