10 Best Netflix Original Horror Series You Need To Watch

2. Devilman Crybaby

Ghoul Netflix

Devilman Crybaby is an anime that should come with a free therapy appointment for everyone who managed to push through all the gore and grief that make up the show. It will hurt you.

After high school student Akira Fudo is possessed by the demon Amon as the result of a bloody nightclub monster orgy, he finds himself turned into a "Devilman". With his newfound powers, Akira must learn to accept his identity as a half-demon while saving the world from hedonistic hellspawn.

The first thing you'll notice about Devilman Crybaby is the animation. It's equal parts jaw droppingly gorgeous and crude to the point of cringeworthyness, making for a unique style that will constantly keep you on your toes. This style works in tandem along with the nihilistic narrative of a naïve young man learning that the world is not the loving place he always believed it was in order to create a story that feels shockingly invasive.

You'll feel both your eyes and your heart fill with a sense of hellish awe as you plow through this ten episode heartbreaker. There is never a moment where you feel safe. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime in Crybaby, leaving you to pick up the pieces of your fractured sense of security.

Have fun!
