I say this as someone who’s not involving myself in the hazbin discourse mainly because I’m too mentally tired to get into internet wank anymore or watching whatever is popular to begin with and as someone who isn’t even a big Devilman shill even if I think everyone should read it at least once BUT: I know their vastly different premises but it always bothers me how hazbin has demons with animalistic feats and next to (some of them not even showing this) they don’t ever bother to explain how this works given yknow most of hells residents are former humans meanwhile devilman has the COOLEST fucking world building I’ve seen to explain demons being animalistic and saying how monsters from tales were likely demons:
I’m not saying I would want hazbin to rip off this concept-this is assuming anyone on the team like- gives a fuck about old anime bc most people just know this series sadly as crybaby-but the idea Nagai lay down like half a century ago could literally be recycled for so many demon concepts, it’s slept on!
#meg text#devilman#I’m not tagging the other show for the sake of being mawled when this was a mild ass criticism#since I know either site I’m not safe but I once more feel more comfortable on tumblr LOL#also had to crop the first two panels awkwardly bc of nudity shit to be safe#but yeah even though I don’t mention it a lot I fuck with devilman’s lore so much#I have a Angel/demon story that takes a lot of influence from devilman but esp this aspect#with like demons being mistaken for monsters in folklore I loooooove that so much#but fuck knows when I’ll ever write that bc I’m in fic hell 💀
