Introduction
Fudo Jun is a beautiful supermodel who is idolized by many. She also has a dark secret that not even she knows about at first, for within her veins run the genes that hold the next step in the evolution of mankind. The same blood as the beastlike superhumans that terrorize the city. Unlike the rest of them, though, Jun has managed to hold a tenuous grip onto her humanity, and she is recruited by the mysterious Asuka Ran, member of a secret organization within the government, aimed at controlling, if not eliminating, these berserk destroyers of mankind. Jun, as Devilman Lady, must now exterminate her own kind, but how much longer can she keep her sanity in a situation she never chose in the first place?

I previously had the earliest submitted review for this series. Owing to a lack of interest in anime for a long time I deleted my previous account, but feel that I probably should not have if just for the sake of the review I had done for this series. So the only thing I can do now is submit one again.
This is not a perfect series by any estimation, but it has both ambition and a relatability that I think is exceedingly rare. The protagonist, Jun Fudo, is a woman who is uncertain of herself and what she truly wants. Underneath she is troubled, and one fateful night she is forced to discover to her horror that she has a mutant alter ego that all this time has wanted to surface. Forced to fight others like her by the mysterious Lan Asuka and the cold organisation she represents, Jun is con…

In the aftermath of the success of Evangelion (Specifically from 1997 onward) there was a wave of anime in the 2-cour format with themes, ideas and aesthetics that, before that, were only relegated to the OVA market. Devilman Lady is an anime from such a wave, while also being part of the wave of anime that dealt with the zeitgeist of a 90's, post-bubble Japan and it's worries about it's future, economy, sovereignty and relationship with the US (Neo Ranga is another anime of the same vein).
Also in the style of Evangelion, it follows the formula of starting in an episodic, monster-of-the-week formula and later going trough a major arc. It fumbles a bit of that because it had trouble joining the former with the latter, the end result being something that feels somewhat disjointed: Our firs…

The Devil Lady managed to capture my interest. The show is just as serious and action-packed as others within its genre, with a gothic opening sequence and gruesome monsters-of-the-day. Yet, it still takes time to be reflective and introspective, allowing characters and plots to shine through.
The main character, Jun, questions her own existence as Devilman Lady and attempts to continue her normal life despite her superhuman abilities. The tie-in between the monsters and Jun's personal life adds depth to the plot. There are moments where the show becomes cheesy, such as the unrealistic giant battles and the over-emphasis on the monster-as-physical-manifestation-of-sin angle. Yet, the well-written material shines through, making the cheese bearable.
The animation style is not top-of-the…

Out of All the Anime or even favourite Protagonist Jun Fudo/ Devil Lady is my favourite character of all time, the Anime and Manga is different but personally its my favourite Go Nagai Anime/Manga Series.
This is very bias and not really talking about the show it self but the character, Jun Fudo can take my heart away by giving this show a 10/10
I love Jun Fudo Design, she is the ideal anime character of design and what's even better her Devil form is so inspired and a tribute to Devilman, I struggle to watch any new anime in the last few years but the older underrated gem like Devilman Lady is unique and interesting to me to watch.
This review might not help but I really want to share my experience and why Personally Devil Lady is my favourite Lady of all time.
Story is alright

An alternate take on the titular manga series from Go Nagai, Devil Lady (or Devilman Lady in Japan) focuses on a supermodel named Jun Fudo who unknowingly possesses abilities similar to superhuman-like devil beasts that have been killing the city’s human populace and are seen by them as the next phase of human evolution. Unlike said beasts however, Jun is capable of maintaining her human psyche when she transforms into Devil Lady and doesn’t harm humans. A secret military organization led by Lan Asuka tasks Jun with trying to deal with the devil beast threat under threat of being hunted by the organization herself. With Jun trying to mentally adjust to her circumstances, factions among both humanity and the devil beasts form to each accomplish their own ends and which Jun becomes entangled…

The narrative in "Devilman Lady" is too much of a prototypical brain baby, basically, it's an idea that couldn't really take root. And I don't blame any of the staff for its failings, they did the best they could with the original source material. It must have been a challenge to make an age-appropriate product out of comic that I dropped after the first chapter, because there was nothing but gruesome rape scenes and pedophilia. Everything obscene that you could possibly imagine was in the first chapter of the manga! So, to try and then adapt it into a more distinguished product, is just insane!

I can honestly say that there are not many titles like it. It is truly something exceptional, roughly on the level of Gunbuster and Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is a dark, tense, grim, dramatic and very interesting story that keeps escalating, and escalating and escalating and in the end it has a very small number of flaws. The anime surpassed all my expectations, and I picked it by accident.
It is worth metnioning that it has very little in common with Devilman Lady manga by Go Nagai. I saw the manga, and due to standard nagai style and its age it was a bit hard to take it seriously. Rather than copying story from the manga, however, this anime reimagines it. Characters are similar to the original, but events are different. Jun is no longer a school teacher, but a photo model, and I bet…

Super model Jun has the ability to transform into a Devilman powerful beast. Scouted by a secret government agency, Jun uses her power to fight others of her own kind. Jun battles her own personal demons as she copes with her transformation and being used as weapon.
The characters are given depth and adequate backstory to understand their motivations. The viewer is acutely aware of Jun’s internal struggles as it effects her blooming relationship with Kazumi. Did I mention yuri? There are also other ambiguous sexual tensions in the series.
The animation and soundtrack are dated. Jun’s face is well animated as a model, but her body is sometimes boxy and movements like walking are stiff and unnatural.
This anime mired with manipulation, deceit, conspiracy and monsters is better than expect…
