Devilman is one of Go Nagai's most popular creations. Devilman was first produced as a manga in 1972, and consists of 5 volumes. The manga's extreme violence and excellent story line made it an instant hit. It was so popular that an anime series was released the same year. The series was 39 episodes long and ran from July 1972 to March 1973. The series sported some differences from the manga, but was still very popular. Two OVAs (Original Video Animation) were released in 1987 and 1990. These videos were what Go Nagai originally intended the first anime series to be like, since the censors made him tone the series down back in 1972 because of its extreme violence. The videos revolve around Akira's transformation into Devilman up until his battle with Silene (also called: Sirene,Siron or Shienru). The OVAs are well animated and, other than a few minor alterations, are faithful to the original manga, and were released in the U.S. during the mid 1990s on video and then on DVD in 2000. Also in 2000, Amon: Apocalypse of Devilman was released as a pay-per-view event in Japan and later released on video and DVD. It covers the period between the humans becoming aware of demons and the final battle between Devilman and Satan. It has even spawned a video game for the PlayStation.
Many other manga titles were created later on including Shin Devilman, Neo Devilman and Amon: The Darkside of the Devilman. Also a very popular artbook entitled Devilman Illustrations was published.
In 2004, a tokusatsu Devilman movie using CGI effects was released. Unfortunately, it was universally rejected in Japan, even by Devilman fans. As a consequence, it won Grand Prize in Japan's Bunshun Kiichigo Awards (the Japanese version of the Razzie Awards, which are given to the worst movie of the year).
