<p><strong>No</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>Do I have to watch all of those serieses before started to watch <em>Devilman: Crybaby</em>? Are these series unrelated to the past series?</p>

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

I've never seen it nor devilman, but everything I've seen about devilman crybaby says it's a modernized retelling of the devilman manga, so it probably stands on its own.

Your title and question are distinctly different. do you want to know if the series are related, or if there are any of them you need to see before watching Crybaby? This confusion led to two opposite answers that each are at least partially correct

Do I have to watch all of those serieses before started to watch *Devilman: Crybaby*? Are these series unrelated to the past series?
