At its worst, it feels try-hard edgy and dumb, or kind of gross in an "I don't really share Nagai's fetishes" kind of way. The 80s "we're seinen now, time to go full edge" run has a bunch of this.

At its best I love the hell out of it. Sheer inventiveness and no-fucks-given hyper-violent weirdness that perfectly embodies what made Nagai great.

The Kanto earthquake arc at the beginning is amazing, I'd go as far as to say "Devilman-tier" in both pros and cons. The character interaction can be questionable but the sense of build-up is wonderful and it all shows great sense for visual storytelling. Like when the earthquake starts and the off-kilter paneling is gets across the violent tremors.

Everyone already knows the Mazinger arc is amazing but I still think I should point out how amazing Nagai was at doing the same basic design idea in so many ways

Mao Dante -> Mazinger AKA robot Mao Dante -> a badass blind black man that Kouji rides around with a scarf around his mouth that resembles Mazinger's mouth-grating

Basically even if you thought the OVAs were meh check out the Violence Jack manga. At its worst it's... pretty retarded and not in a fun way unless you're a big fan of guro. At its best it's indescribably badass and makes me feel like I'm in my early teens reading Devilman for the first time again.

It doesn't bother me at all. Guro is not my cup of tea but I'd rather have it be there because Nagai going all out with id-driven insanity also results in things I absolutely adore.

I worded it that way mainly to get it out of the way and say "yeah, this guro element you've heard Jack get shit on for time and time again is still there in the manga, mainly in the 80s seinen run, but even if that's not your thing there's still a lot to enjoy in this series"

Though it's also worth pointing out that it's not nearly as detailed as the OVAs given Nagai's art is far more stylized than that of the Itano OVAs.
>>15255114
Well he seems to have good taste and is translating neat shit.

For the record, I think Berserk is arguably sillier with the rape given the tonal contrast of "this is so awful" vs "drawing this is turning me on" is bigger and Jack feels more self-aware over its low-brow fetishistic elements. But it also gets far more leeway because anime fans decided it's Shakespearean or whatever.

I still like both though and think that the /v/ types who think Berserk is the best manga of all time would enjoy Jack if they gave it an honest try.

I also get the feeling the yaoi and guro fangirl Berserk fans would fucking love Jack for obvious reasons, though they'd have trouble justifying it to their Tumblr friends.
>>
>>15255169
My point is that violence is art, and not "retarded" unlike what you two have to say.

It's part of Nagai's DNA and the ultimate form of his self expression.
>>
The fact that you find some parts of VJ "edgy" and "dumb" means you haven't really gotten past the tumblr reddit mindset about what's acceptable and what's not.

If it was acceptable, then you wouldn't call it "edgy". Condemning one form of violence and accepting the other forms (Because they look cooler) is fascism.

You're... completely right, to be honest.

I was mainly trying to make my recommendation more palatable to the kind of people who are familiar with Jack from various anime critic celebs who have completely torn it apart for those elements. I don't actually think guro is wrong or anything of the sort and I was being disingenuous and pandering.

In fact, you know what? SJWey Tumblr communities are far less bothered by guro compared to majority-male "anime fan with STANDARDS" communities. A lot of Tumblr girls love guro.

I think it's SEXUALIZED violence, mainly, that bothers people, but I also think there's a double standard since, as I've said, Berserk gets away with a fanservicey portrayal of rape because it's seen as "deep".

I think the problem is, the media that introduced everyone to Berserk, while cheaply animated, captured the core of what made the manga entertaining (the old TV anime not the movies). While the Itano OVAs, despite being genuinely cool at times and not nearly as bad as people say, didn't get Nagai quite as well. That's why I keep saying Imagawa should direct a Jack OVA - I think Imagawa gets Nagai better than Itano did in the 80s.

But yeah fuck it, screw my comments about "edginess", they were just a lame compromise to get the kidfenris-type crowd to try it.

Now that you mention him, the fact that he gets killed and then comes back in volume 6 confuses me. I've pieced together a bunch of stuff about the story in the raws from various online posts but I never managed to figure out that particular thing.

A friend thought that maybe it's because the volumes were released in a weird order, but I... don't really agree since V6 looks like later Nagai art.

I assumed that was hyperbole; obviously it's not literal fascism. He was, however, right that I exaggerated my issue with the guro element in a pandering way. I should've just said "there's this element that you might not like, but there's a lot of stuff to enjoy anyway".

And then with the complaint about dumb things, what I had in mind (among other things) was a bunch of posts complaining about the "controlling wild animals with your dick" thing from the jungle story.

That 80s write-up was surprisingly great and vastly different from the consensus among "anime academics", in fact it was outright gushing.

It's probably the best English language write-up about Nagai's work coming from one of the western public anime figures and not obsessive 4chan posters and had a good grasp of what makes the guy a legend beyond the ecchi-comedy works. Even grasped the monstrous/demonic nature that Dynamic Pro mechs are supposed to emanate.

I don't think it's an inherently invalid thing since some of those books end up in animation school libraries and they could be replaced with better ones.

By far the best online praise of Nagai I've seen has been from random internet people who understand manga as a visual storytelling medium well and it helped me word my own thoughts on his work better.

Jack has a yaoi/guro following on pixiv thanks to Mondo/Tatsuma and dog person Ryo so the nip fangirls notice it.

That's exactly why I said that though, because searching for Jack fan art brought up tons of pairing art of those two. Niche as it is there is a Jack fanbase in Japan, I mean Suda51 says it's his favorite manga ever. I was talking about extending the tiny western fanbase.

Two years ago I came across this Tumblr fangirl that paired herself with Jack and another who paired Ryuko from KLK with him but I can't find either anymore by searching.

Yeah that's when he brought it up. I wonder if any of the people who were only familiar with the OVAs & their reception thought he was being ironic or something & that he's "above" such things. The manga makes it much clearer that it's the kind of creatively insane, surreal world that the guy behind Killer7 and NMH would genuinely like.

Man, I'd love a proper Violence Jack video game. With manga-esque graphics and everything as opposed to a lame "gritty" brown style, or maybe even make it black & white like Platinum's Madworld was.

I'd read it if I knew where I could find it. I recall reading one of those... side stories? or whatever, in which a great jungle springs up somewhere and Jack is invoked as some sort of god. It also involved some pretty weird ejaculation scenes. Visually, it's pretty interesting at least.

Speaking of, I don't suppose you also have Osamu TEzuka's Hitler stories lying around somewhere? The ending part featuring the (former?) Nazi helping out the Palestinians is interesting to me.

Contrary to popular believe, women are people and people are complicated. For example the other day I was searching Devilman fanarts on pixiv and I found a mini comic from a fujo about how she got into Devilman (watching The Birth and then reading the manga). The last page seems to be about other Nagai titles she liked (pic related). You can see Susanoo and Shuten Doji, both have pretty boys, romance and manservice, but also fucking Kekko Kamen

I don't HATE that era, I've posted some pages I thought were good. It's just, from what I read his 90s stuff is the least appealing to me.

I learned to appreciate his 2000s art more thanks to Shin Violence Jack. The shading style in that one is really nice and some panels or panel compositions were really dynamic.

Devilman vs Getter Robo is pretty lazy overall but the scenes with the Getter/Devilman fusion were very good.

I always loved the idea of a story climaxing with a giant, godly being of righteous fury being invoked and tearing apart the bad guys. I'll admit I first read this arc when I was 14 or 15 so you're kinda right about the teenager thing but I still think it's very cool.

>Mods don't make up rules, and when that mod from 8 years ago said toku is /m/, at the time, he meant Kamen Rider and Super Sentai which were being shit posted to death.

It was an official announcement. You have no basis for your argument. Mod specifically said that toku, unless it was more related to /a/ like in the case of Sailor Moon, was to stay on /m/. This isn't up to your opinion, this is a fact and no amount of your whining will change that. When the mods make a sticking saying that all Go Nagai is /m/ no matter its content, then you'll be correct. Until then, you can fuck yourself.

Garo at least has traces of mecha though - the 'horses' and several monsters. There was even a piloted construct or two. That's more than some recent Kamen Rider installments could say.

By your logic, I should be posting Lord of the Rings here because it's a western toku.

It doesn't matter what the mods said. A mod's opinion on what should be in /m/ is not final. What's final is what's actually written in the site rules (Which doesn't mention toku).

If it was final, the board would have been renamed to Mecha and Toku a long time ago.
