Devilman, Violence Jack and Devilman Lady

Anyone else other then me read or watch any of these?

Just watched the 3 OV As and reading through the Amon manga.

Pretty good stuff, if brutal.

From Devilman Lady Ch 11:

"I'm no longer just a mere Train Molester! I've Evolved!"

ummm, Okay, mister. Man, out of context, that sounds pretty strange, no?

I always thought it looked a bit weird whenever Sabin suplexed that train...

Devilman Lady's manga ending: That was weird.

I recently bought omnibus editions of the original Devil Man through my book-off.

I never understood why fusing with Amon gave Akira Egyptian guyliner.

I like the original Devilman; it's a bit ham-fisted in its messages and the artwork is shoddy by today's standards, but it remains reasonably engaging due to the dark subject matter and the fact that it's actually a decently constructed narrative that has an actual message.

seeing the way some artists today draw devilman makes me wish we'd get a seinen reimagining with amazing art and better, more nuanced storytelling. i feel there's a lot of potential there. i know there have been a lot of spin-offs since then but from what i saw i don't think any of them delivered on the level i'm looking for.

Its hard to recommend Go Nagai's work to friends. He's just too out there. He's like a demented Osamu Tezuka. Goofy art style, flamboyant fanservice, dark subject matter. He's all over the place.

That's why I love his work.
