Devilman (デビルマン) is a 2004 Japanese superhero film directed by Hiroyuki Nasu.[1] It is based on the manga series of the same name.

Production

Devilman had a final production budget of ¥5,200,000,000.

The movie was first scheduled for a May 2004 release, but was postponed due to reshoots. Special effects were produced by Toei Company's tokusatsu and anime divisions, under the joint name T-Visual.

Reception

The movie topped an annual poll by the magazine Eiga Hihō for the worst movie, attracting five times as many votes as the second-place film, and also got first place at the Bunshun Kiichigo Awards and Sports Hochi's Hebi-Ichigo Awards.[2] It was voted the worst Japanese film of the 2000s in an online poll, which noted that the excitement of the manga series getting a film adaptation increased the universal disappointment with the film.[2]
