When Devils Line started airing I definitely wanted to like it but as it continued it got harder and harder to make excuses for how mediocre it ended up. At first watching Devils Line felt kind of like a guilty pleasure you know the kind you get when youre enjoying Twilight or something similar but the pleasure bit faded as the show continued came to a conclusion. There were times that I considered dropping it but Im glad that I didnt. It wasnt that Devils Line was terrible it was just that it was inconsistently good. More on what I mean in a minute. Technically speaking Devils Line was a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes the animation was pretty solid but other times it was really choppy. I would love to say that the choppy bits were few and far between but in reality it was pretty consistent. That being said it seemed to be isolated to mostly the beginning of the series but it could be that I just got used to its choppiness. The sound was strange too especially when the someone went full Devil Mode. I get what they were trying to accomplish with their sound mixing in those segments but it ended up being less creepy in the way that they wanted and more creepy in an amusing way. However the sound isnt all bad most of the music was pretty good especially the ending which kept me going for a couple of those weird episodes towards the end. Id be lying if I said that I didnt enjoy the premise of Devils Line especially since thats what drew me to it anyway. In fact the themes of racism and segregation between Devils and humans were the most interesting parts of the show. Unfortunately those interesting themes got pushed to the side for a mediocre love story for most of the runtime. Not to say that Tsukasa and Anzais dynamic wasnt interesting at first but it got shallow and generic pretty quickly. One of the major problems Devils Line fell into had more to do with its overwhelming cast of side characters. And by that I dont mean that there were countless side characters but more that they were indistinguishable. Most of the designs were generic and theyre referred to by name most of the time which makes it extremely confusing since you dont have a clear face to put with the name. Every time a side characters name was mentioned I would struggle for a few minutes to figure out who they were talking about. Maybe Im exaggerating this issue but it certainly felt like they werent doing a good job at making the designs unique enough to stand out especially the police force characters. I think that illustrates Devils Lines inconsistencies well enough and I havent even touched on the story at all. I wont go into detail but Ill say that its the same as everything else in this show inconsistently good with quite a bit of bad. I wouldnt not recommend Devils Line but I would definitely not tell anyone that its a masterpiece. Your enjoyment depends on your interest in the relationship of the main characters and how much the premise and themes hold your attention. If those arent enough you arent going to find much else.
