That would have been pretty fucked up though given how much he's into body horror.

Ha. You're funny. Marriage doesn't necessarily involve sex, you know. I mean, just look at this fuck. He doesn't have children, either. They're probably in it for the money.

Nagai still must be an edgelord. In fact, Nagai is the original edgelord, he built his career around the edge

>>14527176
Yes, there's no denying that. Most interviews make him seem like a quiet, chill guy though.

>>14523660
He's like a loose cannon waiting to explode. It's been said that if you make any noises while he's working, such as dropping a pencil or spilling ink, that he will explode into a violent rage and destroy all the work you did that day. That's where the name violence jack came from. It's also rumored that he targets school girls for his perverse please, where the nickname shameless school nagai came from. He's made so many robot series, they call him Go Getter Robo Nagai.

From other sources obviously. Like maybe from what you've heard from Italian cons and such. You've got to know something from all the years you guys have been here, right?

That'd be Osamu Tezuka

The opposite experience was when I contacted Dynamic Pro, the studio founded by Nagai Gou, who was one of my inspirations when I started making comics. Nagai Gou was responsible for pioneering series, controversial series such as Harenchi Gakuen, Devilman, and Mazinger Z. But in recent years, basically since 1990, his work has been far out of the popular eye. Most of the work he's done in the past 20 years has been short bursts, flashes in the pan, and although his work has its fans, most of the time it's under the radar of the mainstream. The manga never last too long. The anime based off them tend to operate on the premise that once upon a time, the title or character was popular. It's sad, but I started to understand when I contacted them.

Ishikawa Ken, Nagai sensei's partner in Dynamic Pro, passed away a few years ago. Since then, Nagai himself has been more or less retired, barely doing any real manga work. I don't blame him. After contacting Dynamic Pro, I can understand why; I contacted them after doing some very strong comic work in Japan and thought that, since internet-based work was gaining popularity at the time, perhaps I could speak to someone and do something for them with some minor characters that were scarcely used even in their own series, and never appeared since. It wouldn't be a great amount of extra work for me, and it would bring Dynamic Pro more acclaim and attention, even if only because it would be an international collaboration. Those are always good for attention.

The response I got was unbelievably rude. I don't remember the man's name who replied to me, although I feel sure I've seen his name somewhere or another. He was incredibly rude and could barely communicate in English, but insisted upon writing in it, despite the fact that I had written him in Japanese. I'm sure he probably thought I didn't understand how rude he was being, since he assumed I hadn't had much experience in communicating in Japanese due to my American email address, but he was very wrong.

It was humiliating and depressing, chiefly because he seemed to think that Dynamic Pro were on a level with Disney, and apparently he had no idea that Dynamic Pro had barely any output to speak of in the past entire decade. As a former fan, it made me feel embarrassed and ashamed for the studio that Nagai Gou had founded, because that was his name, and it was being dragged through the dirt in this way.

Even a cursory flick through web searches makes it perfectly clear how outre Dynamic Pro has become in the Japanese mind, to say nothing of the rest of the world; other than Italy, Nagai sensei's work is all but unknown, and even there it is only embraced in the form of the 70s. I used to wonder why this was so, but now I think I understand: it is the incredible arrogance and egotism of Dynamic Pro's dealing with people. Now that Nagai sensei is mostly retired, Dynamic Pro mainly rides on his coattails. Ishikawa sensei passed away with a respectable following and series of successes, but that and Nagai sensei's past work cannot sustain a studio that feels no need to continue or to innovate.

I used to be an avid fan of Nagai sensei's, but I see no reason to support Dynamic Pro further. They are not Nagai sensei, merely his assistants and embellishers, and it's also clear that they have never really applied their abilities in order to uphold his good name. Is there any reason to maintain a studio if they fail to produce anything at all, and above all that they fail to maintain the respectability of the name of their founder?

>>14523660

Anyone who appears in toxic avenger is cool by me.

>>14545348
>>14545352
Nice copypasta.
It doesn't even make sense, given that Nagai has been doing at least two concurrent serializations for the past few years, and has been winning acclaim for Gekiman, in addition to serving as a member on various manga committees.

Where?

>>14545394

how exactly was she planning to save Nagai from obscurity with her on average 15 notes per tumblr drawing?

even some of my tumblr drawing have more notes than that and i wouldn't dare assume i'm ready for a collab with a legendary manga creator.

He's saying that the art is too shit to get more than 15 notes, not that notes are inherently important,, m8.

>>14545756
That's not what I meant. It's just that interviews aren't the best thing to gauge what Nagai is like "in person".

Nips are terrible artists.

Might as well complain about all filthy japs.

All their manga legends draw like shit. Tezuka, Ishinomori, Yokoyama, and Matsumoto (Especially him)

Whatever you say. He used to draw like this when he was 16 years old. You can't compare japanese artists to western ones because they have an entire month to finish something those guys needed to do in one single night. Their choice of style was the only possible to achieve this and what truly mattered was the appeal of it. Ishinomori was much more versatile than any of those and the most skilled by far. And no, trolling and saying otherwise can't change a fact.
