What happens when a gentle-hearted boy merges with a demon to fight evil, only to discover that the real monsters might be the people around him? Devilman Crybaby is a bold, genre-defying exploration of fear, identity, violence, and love in a world spiraling into chaos. Through Yuasa’s experimental art style and a story that grows darker with every beat, the series becomes a haunting reflection of what it means to care — and what it costs when the world refuses to.
It’s raw, visionary, shocking, and emotionally annihilating — a work of art you don’t just watch, you survive.
This episode sees Brendan White joined by Super Marcey, one of the OGs of podcasting, to tackle one of the craziest shows from the last 5 years, Masaaki Yuasa and Science SARU's 2018 supernatural splatterfest, Devilman Crybaby.
At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this boundary-pushing masterpiece deserves a place on your watchlist — and your post-credits therapy session.
