![]() With bone-crunching bravado, we watch people be practically ripped in half, eaten alive, and overall mangled in a variety of creative ways - all with incredibly realistic sound effects that tell a chilling narrative. Easily the most disturbingly violent anime I've had the misfortune of seeing, Amon is a very difficult watch. This is a bit of problem, given that Amon is brutal and merciless and doesn't care who or what he kills. However (and I don't consider this a major spoiler, given that it happens in the first few minutes) Akira's girlfriend Miki is soon brutally murdered, and while Akira checks out mentally, Amon takes over Akira's body. ![]() ![]() Akira Fudo is still around and still fighting demons - the powerful demon Amon inside of him, combined with his human heart, gives him the ability to control his body and fight as Devilman. Amon is a direct sequel to the Devilman OVA, and essentially replaces the latter part of the TV series (with differences in the final battle and other elements). StoryPoison-spitting nipples? Extreme gore? Monsters whose faces appear to be coming out of giant vaginas? That's right, Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman could only have been created by the illustrious Go Nagai.
