I looked at MyAnimeList, there is a classic series, it's Devilman, had an
anime adaptation in January 5th, 2018. I am interested to watching this
series. Quick search for these series, it has a lot of adaptations since
1970's.

Do I have to watch all of those serieses before started to watch _Devilman:
Crybaby_? Are these series unrelated to the past series?

Note: I have never watched or tried to watch this series, so I have no idea
about this franchise.

question
devilman devilman-crybaby
Is "Devilman: Crybaby" related to the 90's or the older Devilman series?


## Yes

Devilman Crybaby roughly follows the plot of the original devilman manga
(1972) which started the [Devilman
Franchise](http://devilman.wikia.com/wiki/Devilman_\(Franchise\)) where there
are sequels, prequels, remakes, new plot lines, crossovers ect... Essentially
a continual flow of new content from the 70's to date, see the above link for
details on which series fit where.

_EDIT: Just commenting on the other answer saying No. My answer was really
intended to respond to the title of those works being **related** where it
seems you are responding specifically to if OP should watch something else
first. While I agree Devilman Crybaby stands on its own as a story and there
is no content that is **necessary** to see before or after watching... There
are plenty of story connections to be found other works such as the manga
titled "Devilman Shin" and "Devilman Lady" which are official sequels, or the
prequel "Demon Knight"_

answer


**No**

You don't need to watch any of the older series to watch crybaby. Crybaby is
the main story from start to finish which follows the main Devilman manga. It
has no storyline connections to the other series.
