I’ve known about Devilman for a while but never bothered to watch it. How close is the Manga to the first anime? I know that that in the Manga Ryo is still Satan and he kills Devilman who he was in love with. So was that Akira or Amon he was in love with in the original? I also know that Devilman lady says that the characters are stuck in a timeloop as part of God’s punishment. But is that just Ryo or does history completely repeat itself till the apocalypse. Asking about the 2 moons at the end

Okay, just to clarify a few things: There’s no “timeloop” in the manga, at least not in Go Nagai’s Devilman. The timeloop thing is from a spinoff, Amon by Kinutani Yuu which isn’t set by God for Satan’s benefit, but actually it’s because God forces Satan to repeat how he/she loses what they love as punishment for the rebellion, so the destruction of all the world and humanity is just something irrelevant as long he gets his thrill of tormenting Satan for walking away. God is unambiguously villainous in Amon and in Go Nagai’s work - Satan was a bad guy in Devilman because she/he acted like God. 

What does exist in the Go Nagai’s manga is that the planet is remade again either by God or Satan (Violence Jack series), but it’s not like the same events repeat themselves. They don’t. Here consult here:

I don’t have the original handy think the words in english were added by fans, but it gets you an idea of Devilman world and its settings derived straight out the manga (beware spoilers):
