Debiruman (2004)
Devil in the details
I've seen a few Devilman anime over the years. This story isn't that bad. It just needs some tweaking. I liked how they showed them as friends from the beginning. They show how Roy protected Akira. It would have been nice if they reveal that Roy killing Akira's parents. The ending should have been Akira finds out and that sent him over the edge. Another missed opportunity was the female demon. Akira should have had a flash back as Amon as he killed her. That would have added another layer to this tale. For the life of me I don't know why they didn't show what girl did to the parents of the little boy. They did a good lead up then fizzled out. It was a big let down. If you're a fan of Devilman, see it. It's not perfect, but its entertaining.
Battle for Skyark (2015)
Missed Opportunity
The entire premise of this movie is not bad. The problem is it's been done before on television no less, with the CW's 100. They should have shown the Rebellion in flashbacks. The fact that the children turned out to be the monsters they were afraid of. It's not a bad twist. This film was just terribly written and it's characters completely underutilized or not well-rounded. I kept watching the movie hoping that it would get better, but it never did. In fact it kept getting worse and worse. And as for the ending of the film, the whole agent sent to save the chosen one. That just doesn't make any sense at all since they threw the chosen one out of skyark. If the rebels had access to ships that could come down and rescue the children. Then there should have been enough of them to stage a coup. They should have tied up this movie: The Fallen of Skyark.
