Great video and happy new year!!!! I wish if you could make a video about Ken Ishikawa next, the co creator of Getter Robo. I know you talked abbout Getter as a Nagai creation, but it always felt like Ishikawa's baby.
if Discotek could release all of his giant robot anime, that would be great. thank you. One of the best memories I had as a child was to have the Mazinger z shogun warrior. It was as tall as i was in 1980.
While I don't think Go Nagai is the greatest artist or storyteller, the man has always been overflowing with creativity, passion and fearlessness. He was never constrained by one genre or one target audience or held back by what people considered to be good taste. His works are so diverse, it is quite remarkable. Few mangaka can claim to have worked on giant robots, supernatural horror fantasy, magical girls, post-apocalyptic dystopia, comedy and have been hugely influential in all those genres. Truly a cornerstone of Japanese pop culture.
No, he couldn’t accomplish all that if he wasn’t a good storyteller especially in the action genre. He is a master of his work, be it giant robots or devils. You could have a writer who tried every genre with a creative mind, but that won’t matter if he was a bad story teller right?

Arguably the most influential mangaka in the medium aside from Tezuka
As a mecha otaku I definitely look up to Go Nagai.

Ken ishikawa was mostly responsible for getter robo, not nagai. All the mangas' story and art was made by ken 😅
I had no idea Nagai covered so many different genres. I’ll check out Devilman on Netflix.

Getter is more ishikawa baby, than nagai´s. Both great inspirations
My favorite Go Nagai works....
-Mazin Saga
-Mazinger Z
-Grendizer
-Devilman
-Devilman Lady

Don't forget being a pioneer of the ecchi genre with shameless school and cutie honey.
