Trivia

1. It was originally supposed to be a 5 part H*ntai series.
2. Devilman inspired the authors of iconic anime series such as "Berserk" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion".
3. The original "Devilman" series plays on the TV when Akira remembers parts of his childhood. A still image from that same series also comes up when Taro searches for the Devilman online.
4. "Devilman" creator Gô Nagai has a role in the series, playing a member of the lynch mob in Devilman: Crybaby: Go to Hell, You Mortals (2018).
5. Director Masaaki Yuasa is a fan of Gô Nagai's "Devilman" manga comic, and was pleased to have the opportunity to adapt his favourite work.
6. The character, Miki "Miko" Kuroda, first originally appeared in another manga series by Go Nagai called Susano-o.
7. Miko Kuroda's design after merging with a demon bears a strong resemblance to Riki Muso, a character that appears in Shuten Douji and Violence Jack (both of which were also created by Go Nagai), and it's possible her design served as an inspiration for the look of Miko after she merged with the demon.
