UPDATE!! Now Discotek Media got the rights and rereleased it on DVD and Blue Ray (Not BetaMax?!!) and it has the dub and sub I think. Unfortunately, the DVD release included ONLY the dub, and the subtitled Japanese audio is available only on out-of-print VHS. The dub done by Manga entertainment was comical and was filled with unneeded profanities that weren't included in the original.

#DEVILMAN MANGA END SERIES#
Although aimed at a young audience in Japan, the Devilman TV series is still too violent by Western standards and has been aired on TV in only one country outside Japan (Italy, in the early 80's). Nagai enlisted noted scenario writer and sci-fi novelist Masaki Tsuji as the chief writer for this series Tsuji and Nagai worked together again on the TV series Cutey Honey, Dororon Enma-kun, Majokko Tickle and God Mazinger. The series also has more comedy (like nudity or urination of little boys or Lala). He is prone to settling trivial matters with violence in this media and Miki attempts to stop him when he gets out of control. This Akira attacks are named after himself ("Debiru-kick, Debiru-Beam, Debiru-Cutter"). The series ends after 39 episodes (July 1972 - April 1973 on NET, which is now TV Asahi - yes, the same channel that made Doraemon) and ends with Devilman revealing to Miki Makimura his true identity, which she believes is just a trick by a demon so she doesn't fall for it, along with beating a tough demon named God and with the same powers of Devilman. The other demons attempt to kill Miki but Devilman kills them to protect her. However, Devilman falls in love with Miki Makimura and her tough, no nonsense ways, and is distracted from his demon duties. Using Akira's form as a disguise, Devilman is sent to cause trouble on earth in order to pave the way for the demonic invasion. It is important to note that in this version, Akira is dead and the main character of this series is some demon who took full-possession of his body.
In this media, young male Akira Fudo and his father Reijiro Fudo are killed on a scientific expedition of the Himilayas and the demon Devilman takes over his body. The male cosplay equivalent to Naga the Serpent from Slayers(because of the speedo). A remake was created in 2004 as a live-action movie, but failed worldwide. A few chapters of the Devilman manga reached American shores due to a licensing deal through Glenn Danzig ( The Misfits ) who owned Verotik comics. The manga is mature, and with a deeper story since the age group of the readers was higher than the TV series. Devilman was published in manga form one month before the TV series began airing. Go Nagai came up with an "evil vs evil" concept that he later made a manga of, with more violence and nudity.
In 1972 after Demon Lord Dante's success, Toei Animation desired to make an anime with similar themes but with a more human-hero.
