About Devilman: The Demon Bird

If you are hunting for a new action series, Devilman: The Demon Bird (デビルマン 妖鳥シレーヌ編) deserves a look (1990). The setup goes like this. The premise: Demons exist and their strength is beyond what humans can fathom. In fact, they are so strong that humans do not stand a chance against them in a struggle.

Along the way, the only thing strong enough to defeat a demon is another demon, and it is through this logic that Ryo Asuka hatches the plan to have his good-hearted friend, Akira Fudo, possessed by a demon. If a person is of pure of heart, then they might be able to control the demon that possesses them, and thereby acquire strength equal to a demon. After raising some hell in a club, the plan works, and Akira is possessed by the powerful demon known as Amon.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Akira Fudou (Shou Hayami) and Ryo Asuka (Yuu Mizushima) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
