posted on by Egan Loo
The Japanese version of the Devilman" project as of Thursday. The entry has no videos or images, but includes the following description:
A demon possesses a boy's dead body to do evil. But after falling in love with a human girl, he has a change of heart. Based on Gō Nagai's hit manga.
The American web version of Netflix also has the same entry, but the entry does not appear when a searches or browses the service's catalog.
Netflix has already been streaming the 1972 Devilman television anime series in Japan. While Netflix gives the 1972 anime a similar synopsis to the one above, Netflix's catalog lists the 1972 anime and the "Netflix Original Devilman" project separately.
Netflix is also adaptation of the manga.
Thanks to Gwyn Campbell for the news tip
Update: The entry no longer lists a "Netflix Original Devilman" project, although an empty slot remains in certain searches on the Japanese version of the service.
