>Favorite Devilman adaptation?
Very close tie between The Birth and 009 vs Devilman. The former has very cute character designs, and managed to smooth out all the choppy bits in Nagai's storytelling, while preserving the Ho Yay.

The latter made up for every sin done by Devilman Crybaby by all the fanservice, Ryo putting his coat on tuckered out Akira and carrying him back, the fact that Akira is small and cute, while Ryo is ethereally tall and pretty, which makes sense if we consider Ryo a haafu and also him being SPOILER.

>Who tops? Or are they versatile?

Ryo. Ryo tops. They can be versatile I guess, but stoic survivor Ryo topping the hell out of his eager qt demon bf is moe to me, even more so if Akira still lapses into pre-demon Akira during moments of intimacy.

>Most WTF moment?

Many, MANY over the course of the manga. I think the ultimate one was finding out about Ryo's actual background.

>Thoughts on Devilman Crybaby?

NOOOOO nonononono no.
They ukefied Ryo into some kind of trap :(

Haha, Crybaby Ryo is ok as a character but I hate the design. They knocked it out of the park with the OVA should have just stuck with that vibe.

Best adaptation is the 80s OVA series! I've seen Crybaby and the 70s superhero one as well but only the OVAs gripped me. Ryo tops always.

I love them so much, and all the adaptations… I wonder if I'll be crucified for this, but I don't think the overall story is very good. It has some really strong moments, the shipping fuel at the start is glorious, the fights are good. But a lot of it is 'And then it got even more WTF' in a sometimes kinda silly way.

That said, I wonder if the fact that it was actual canon homo played a part in making it popular, plus Nagai did give us that whole shirtless confirmation that 'Yes, Ryo is a gay boy crushing on his buddy', which was really sweet of Nagai, it would have been so easy for him to play that love off for horror or as a joke.

Go Nagai is like JP Stephen King to me honestly. I love all of his works conceptually and like the characters but the writing doesn't hold up to the concept usually in the manga itself. That being said I think Devilman's popularity is helped by the strong and varied adaptations. You have goofier ones aimed at children, the darker more violent bloodbaths, as you said a lot have the homo tension to draw in women. Very varied series.

While series like Cutie Honey or Mazinger Z, while both good, have a set demographic they hit almost every time.

Someone on tumblr made a case for Shin Devilman being drawn for fujos, implying that the Devilman fangirls have been at it for a while.

What do we think of this? It seems Ryo started to be drawn girlier after the OG manga ended in general, but it's a bit more pronounced here.

The amount of male nudity and costumes designed to enhance the male form, also more than makes up for the amount of titties in Nagai's work imo.

I think it's likely that Nagai knew about the fujo scene given that Grendizer was popular for doujinshi for its time but NGL I don't know enough about his personality to say whether he would consciously draw for fujos.

Maybe? It's still a seinen so I think more that likely it's just trying to be subversive and mature. Still fucking gay. Do you have a link to the tumblr post?
