# Devil Man The Birth

Devilman evolved from Go Nagai's previous manga, Demon Lord Dante , after Toei Animation approached Nagai about turning Dante into a television series. The producers wanted certain elements toned down, and a more human-like anti-hero created. Devilman was born as a result of this. \[6\] Devilman's outfit seems be inspired by a villain from the 1972 Gekko Kamen anime. Go Nagai worked on the anime's scenario along with renowned screenwriter and science-fiction novelist Masaki Tsuji , who wrote the scripts for 35 of the TV series' 39 episodes. \[ citation needed \] Along with the television series, Devilman was also produced as a serialized manga in Weekly Shōnen Magazine beginning in 1972. \[7\] Go Nagai designed the manga to be more horror-like and mature than the anime version. \[6\] When developing the Devilman manga, Nagai was told by his editor to write an alternative take of the anime aimed towards a more mature audience.
