Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Devilman is an anime based on the manga Devilman by Go Nagai. Aired from 1972 to 1973 on Tokyo's NET (now TV Asahi) and affiliated stations across Japan, it premiered shortly after the manga's beginning and was produced roughly at the same time, but its story deviated completely from the start and only portrayed Devilman in a very vague light. Masaki Tsuji, a well-known screenwriter and novelist and a fan of Nagai's work, worked with him to adapt the storyline for television. The series was fairly popular in its day (its highest-rated episode rated 15.5%) but was soon overshadowed by the anime version of Nagai's Mazinger Z, which premiered late the same year on rival channel Fuji Television.A scientist and his son are killed while mountain climbing in the Himalayas. Their deaths presage the awakening of the Demon Tribe, a race of beings of darkness who were frozen in ice a long time ago and who now plan to start a demonic invasion of the human world. However, unbeknownst to them, one of their own kind has betrayed them. After taking the boy's body as a disguise and moving with a human family, the demon falls in love with the family's young daughter, Miki Makimura, and turns back to his mission to cause death and destruction on Earth. Now turned into the heroic demon Devilman, he will protect her from many demons sent to destroy them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Perhaps due to a combination of its themes and its age, the Devilman TV series is not as well known outside Japan as later iterations of the franchise, as its only TV broadcast in the West was in Italy (where it achieved great popularity) during the 1980s. It is now available in the United States in a subtitled-only release from Discotek Media.Surprisingly, there is another Devilman manga penned by Mitsuru Hiruta using the anime as the basis of the story, but with slight differences (Akira being Spared By Adaptation for example), and generally Bloodier and Gorier despite its Lighter and Softer premise. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Devilman / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While the show is Lighter and Softer than the manga in most other respects, TV Devilman's origin story is surprisingly darker than in the manga. In the manga Akira merges with a demon, gaining its powers and the ability to transform at will. In the anime, a demon kills Akira and enters his body, essentially stealing his identity. For the rest of the show, Akira is just a disguise that a demon wears. Not even Miki knows the secret until the final episode (and even then, she doesn't quite understand, thinking the demon God changed Akira into Devilman). An alternate interpretation can be applied where Akira is Devilman's host (in a similar manner to hosts in the Ultra Series and other popular Tokusatsu shows of the same decade) but this still doesn't avoid the fact that he's at the very least a (mostly?) dead man walking. The episode in which Akira goes to Tibet where they witness a funeral where dead bodies are fed to vultures. The Demon Bera restores the dead man's body and begins to slaughter everyone in the village. Not even children, save Tare, are safe from death. | |

The Cameo | |
| Devilman / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: 1972 Devilman made a cameo appearance on TV that same year in an episode of Mahou Tsukai Chappy, a magical-girl anime also produced by Toei. Akira and Miki, or people strongly resembling them, have also made cameos in other Go Nagai anime such as Cutie Honey. An episode of Devilman also features a girl strongly resembling Sayaka from Mazinger Z. | |

Vocal Evolution: In the TV series pilot, Miki is voiced by Rihoko Yoshida, one of the most in-demand voice actresses of the '70s and '80s. The series ultimately gave the role to Sumie Sakai, who is primarily known for live-action work but also has a handful of voice roles to her credit of which her Go Nagai roles - Miki and Yukiko-hime in [1] - are the best known. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The final episode ends not only with Miki still alive, but with a (somewhat) tender moment between her and Akira, in which Miki tells him she still likes him even though she saw him transform, and Akira tells her he loves her. However, as the ending theme song plays, the narrator informs us in no uncertain terms that Akira's trials are not over and he has many more demons left to fight, leaving the future uncertain. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Episode three, when Akira gives a group of classmates a severe beating with his belt for allegedly leering at Miki (they weren't; they were only crushing on her from a distance and Miki didn't even notice). When he's hauled into the principal's office, Akira declares his intention was to kill the boys, and probably would have if Miki hadn't stepped in. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness: Devilman's character design underwent deep changes in order to make him look more like a conventional tokusatsu hero and less of a monster. Aside from the new red and green color scheme, he was given human legs with shoe-shaped feet and no tail instead of his clawed, satyr-like hairy legs; his wings were turned into plane fins; he lost his serrated teeth for a more humanlike face; and he wore black trunks instead of going around naked. | |

Adaptational Badass: As Satan doesn't exist in this version, Zennon is the leader of the Demon Tribe. Devilman himself has many powers in this version over his manga self, his giant transformation standing out. Miki herself: not only she survives this time, but one of the reasons Devilman falls with him is because, when he was acting as "Akira turned into a bully" dishing punches around and whipping random dudes with a belt, Miki found herself fed up with him and stopped him. Akira-as-Devilman is instantly smitten with a plucky, kind, beautiful girl willing to call out the strongest warrior of the Demon Tribe and starts thinking that humanity can't be that bad. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
| Devilman / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Instead of just horrendous demons clashing against Devilman in dark scenarios as seen in the manga, the series often had giant monsters randomly attacking a nearby building. For this reason, Akira was given extra powers for this adaptation: not only could he transform into Devilman but he could also transform into a Giant Devilman to fend off these monsters. | |

Japanese Delinquents | |
| Devilman / int_8b19c906 | comment |
Japanese Delinquents: Akira's attitude veers into this territory ever since Devilman killed the original Akira. Miki then has to step in and give him an Armor-Piercing Slap before he goes too far. Mixed with Value Dissonance, if not outright Blue-and-Orange Morality: the Demon Tribe lives by a strict "Might makes right" ruleset, enough to consider acceptable for tribesmen slaughter themselves to choose who's the strongest and most able to carry a certain mission. Until Miki calls him out, he can't even understand what's the harm in his action. He's the strongest among his now human peers, he has the right to put them in line or even kill them if he sees fit. | |

Murderous Mannequin: Adal is the main villain of Episode 19. He's a demonic spider who takes possession of mannequins as if they were marionettes. Adal's mannequins can (drastically) shapeshift into a human's appearance, although their shadows don't change along, and have an identity separate from the demon. For years, Adal's been replacing people in key positions with his mannequins, but they all burn up when Devilman kills him. | |

Lighter and Softer: The series in comparison with the manga. Lots of changes to the story were made, the violence and nudity were considerably toned down, lots of comic relief was included, and most of the characters who died at the end of the manga are still alive in the last episode, which also has a Bitter Sweet Ending instead of the tragic conclusion of the manga - Akira and Miki are safe, as are most of the other main characters, but Zennon is still very much alive and has plenty of demons left at his disposal. | |

In the first episode alone, she slaps Akira across the face twice for getting out of line, and later begs his forgiveness and hugs him joyfully after he forgives her. Miki's best friend, Chiyako, shows signs of this as well toward her crush, Todaiji. | |

Precocious Crush | |
| Devilman / int_d3beb0de | comment |
Precocious Crush: Tare-chan, in episode 18, develops a crush on a bewitchingly beautiful teenage girl named Mayako. Miki is horrified when Tare declares that Mayako is "his girl" and that "age doesn't matter when it comes to love." Mayako is really the demon Megu, and after Devilman kills her, Tare is very depressed that "Mayako" has disappeared and he'll never see her again. | |

Love Redeems: Part of the reasons every demon wants Devilman dead. Since he fell in love with Miki, the demons, especially Zenon, consider him a traitor. | |

Composite Character: Although Zennon retains his true form from the manga, his shadowed form makes him look like the eponymous Demon Lord Dante. | |

Ghibli Hills: The late Kazuo Komatsubara was the character designer for this series as well as the OVA adaptation 15 years later. He'd later work on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in the same capacity. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Devilman / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: After Lala misinterprets Akira saying, thinking death will cure her idiocy, she literally tries to kill herself or trying to get killed. After she dies, she tells Devilman in spirit that her idiocy has been cured and he solemnly says "Is that so?" | |
