Ironically, Cutie Honey probably would have made a better partner for the Cyborg 009 cast to crossover with than Devilman. As an android superhero who's frequently targeted by evil organizations for the technology she uses to transform, & who has it out for evildoers in general, she has much more in common with the Cyborg team, and as dark as her stories can get at times she's still usually a more upbeat hero than Devilman. Heck, I can even picture the villains of Cutie Honey getting along better with Cyborg 009's villains than the demonic foes of Devilman, I can picture an alliance of convenience between Black Ghost and Panther Claw for the sake of defeating their mutual foes & harvesting their technology etc, & an inevitable falling out when both sides want it all for themselves. Still, cool to see classic characters like this interact with each other, and you can tell the creators of the show were fans themselves with all the refs they snuck in.

Honestly, the Cyborg 009 vs Devilman OVA was a treat. I'd love to see more OVAs in the same vein, where they try to cram in as many references to the author's works as possible. It'd be great if they adapted the 8-Man vs 009 manga since we haven't gotten an animated rendition of 8-Man since 1993! That's a long time for such an iconic character!

I really liked this OVA. I’m more of a Devilman fan, but this ova got me to rewatch the 2001 anime from back when it was on toonami.

I like how the thumbnail highlights joe while overshadowing Devilman with text as if he's irrelevant Idk if this is happy accident or subtle detail but it's genius eitherway

I love how this had the best Miki from devilman other ones make her to pure. This one keep her love fighting and tomboy personally

" a racist theory..." my sides 🤣🤣

This OVA is absolutely killer and a love letter to both series and artists. I really wish we got a modern 009 anime in this style

I think the Devilman aspect could have been evened out if they just had cyborgs 0014-17 get in over their heads and start morphing into demons (or outright fusing into each other), felt like a missed opportunity to only have Seth/Atun take advantage of that angle.

I personally believe Skull Man would have been a better fit for a Devilman crossover in terms of content and tone, but i do wonder if the intention was making the OVA a 009 fanservice fest from the start.

Some say that Dr. Adams could've easily been the origin story of Dr. Hell from Marzinger Z.

The only thing that make me sad about this crossover is that the 00 cyborgs will face a horrific end because both this version of 009 and devilman share the same universe That being said i wouldn't mind if they do another crossover but with devilman as the main focus

I agree that the OVA was less "Cyborg 009 vs Devilman" and more "Cyborg 009 featuring Devilman" But i really love Cyborg 009 so i was mostly alright with that. I specially loved the Jinmen fight adaptation, it was perfect.

This ova got me into Devilman

Yeah, the Ahoge is an anime thing. Allot of characters like Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa, Meliodos from Seven Deadly Sins, Saber from the Fate series, and many many others have it, though with them its pointing upwards and its on the top of their hair whereas with the kid here its on the back of his hair and its pointing downwards. So for all intents and purposes his hair could be there to replicate Denis the Menace.

I want to see a new 009 anime that isn't CG that touches on everything in the manga and continuation Gods War.

Nice jab at 'Game Theory' there. Well played, sir. I hope to see the conclusion to 'The Robotech Saga'.

I personally liked the ova more so for the cyborg 009 content but the devilmam stuff was still cool love the nods to the other creators works

I'm glad I found your channel. I love learning about these Animes.

I like that it has a 008 design that's not racist.

Considering how Devilman ends, It is a blackpill seeing Joe and his buddies here. Makes you glad this isn't cannon.

Holy crap! This guy gives "deep dive" a whole new meaning. Very impressed.

"A RACIST theory....." 10/10 would recommend, would watch again... Instant mastahpeece... A Dumké classic.

I am conflicted with the idea of Cyborg 009 and Devilman being in the same universe. On one hand they’re very similar thematically with commentary on war and philosophical questions on human nature. However they have vastly different tones and endings with Devilman’s outright undoing everything the 00 Cyborgs worked for with everyone dying, God nuking the planet, and resetting the universe as part of Satan’s punishment, albeit with some changes like the main characters being reborn as women or being more child friendly. Then again Cyborg 009 has had the reverse happen in God’s War with Jet and Albert getting bisected and in Jet’s case dismembered. They toned it down in the manga but it’s still something I’d expect from Devilman.

Damn! I can't believe there was a crossover manga with 8-Man and Cyborg 009! I would love to see an anime adaption of that done right!!!!

To go a bit more deeper into my thoughts on this OVA, I rather enjoyed it. It’s actually what got me into Devilman and it came out while I was in Highschool when I was still getting into anime at the time and I had long already finished binge watching the 2001 anime. So to see the 009 characters again was really great to see. My biggest complaint though would have to go to the character design. Particularly with the 009 characters. Now I actually do like some of the redesigns, but it really does feel like they’re trying to go half and half with making the characters look more realistic while still keeping their more cartoony designs and stick to Shotaro Ishinomori’s art style. But the more realistic design kinda just clashes with the more cartoony designs. Like I’m glad 008 actually looks like a person instead of a racist stereotype, but I wish they made some of the 009 designs at lit a bit more cartoony. It’s also weird because when we see the Devilman characters, the animators stick very close to Go Nagai’s art style, particularly with the bully characters who look like they were ripped right out of Go Nagai’s manga. Basically I just wish the 009 characters, minus 008, had a bit more similar to their designs in the 2001 anime. Again though, minus 008.

2:25 I thought his character was based on Naojiro Abashiri from Go Nagai's Abashiri Family. His metallic form especially looks like the skin off form of Naojiro in the 1991 Abashiri Family OVA

What BGM are you using in the video? It’s really smooth and I kinda wish I could listen to it while doing commissions.

The "Thanks for watching" Game Theory bit cracks me up every time

That OP theme though

I got Netflix and I will check it out. 😀👍

Wow, Champion Red did an *8 Man vs. Cyborg 009* crossover manga? I GOTTA read that. 8 Man gets too little love... 😪

is this a remake?

I'm surprised there's never been an Astro Boy and Cyborg 009 crossover

3:07 🤣😂

I wish for a Casshern and Cyborg 009 crossover
