Also, uh... Netflix sure is all over the place with their original content right now, which I guess is sortof neat.
Yeah it is weird to think that the same people that funded a freakin’ Devilman adaptation also did stuff like Beasts of No Nation and The Other Side of the Wind.

I'm not saying the quality of one's art and their opinion of Go Nagai's is necessarily linked but it might be something to think about

I'm two episodes in and that uh was a creative use of the sounds that donkeys make.

I was split on whether it was a donkey or a pig screaming that they sampled for that. My initial instinct was pig.

the ANNCast this week was about Crybaby, and they had one of the site's only good contributors (Mike Toole) on. i enjoyed listening to it even though there's not a ton of ground they cover that hasn't already been posted here/elsewhere

Go Nagai's art is... really hard to evaluate technically because he's a fantastic artist in some ways and a terrible one in others

Like, I would absolutely not buy a painting by Go Nagai, because the technical aspects of his art (linework, shading, detail etc) are just kind of eeeeeeh at best, but the dude's a loving master of visual storytelling and comes up with sick designs for things

I was gonna say something sarcastic like "same but Picasso, Steadman etc." but... even in OG Devilman which has a particular naive style (which I'd say is worth a hundred generic renderbot artists but that's another conversation) his linework and hatching is already quite strong. (often rough, but that =/= bad) then you get to Lady where he's also doing cleaner highly rendered stuff. Then there's Shin Violence Jack


As for his paintings, just look at the loving Lady covers

i think if y'all are taking what i said as an attempted dunk on nagai you're kind of misunderstanding me.

DisDisDis posted:

^ ^ ^ this is basically exactly the point i was trying to make- there's lots of "renderbot" artists who just completely blow him away technically, even taking into account the stuff being posted, but that's totally tangential to Nagai's value as an artist and that value is massive. the fact that a lot of his stuff doesn't look like much (even if he is capable of pulling out some crazy poo poo) doesn't actually diminish the true quality of his art, because frankly Devilman could have been crayon scribbles and it would have still loving owned.

I think it's very wrong to say Go's linework and shading is 'just eh' because it's precisely his execution in those areas that makes Devilman's style so successful rather than being crayon scribbles. And his later work demonstrates major chops as a traditional comics style renderer, not a realistic renderer and not on the level of Miura or anybody but that's not really the point. Finally, his paintings loving rock. Peace.

Amon Ova


Grimore. (In her normal outfit cause the one I found of her Demon form was super disgusting.)


And lots of others.

There is a devilman (woman?) with this body in episode 10, when the devil horde attack area 51.
