Anyone here read Uncle Go manga? Got a favourite? I'm a big fan of his works myself. My favourite is obviously the original Devilman, but I also really liked Lady, Cutie Honey, Gakuen Taikutsu Otoko, Mazinger Z, Demon Lord Dante and Violence Jack. However, his works are not for everyone and tend to be rather... odd (pic related) to say, so I'd understand if somebody didn't like it.

Go Nagai's Black Lion has always been one of my guilty pleasures.

I'm more along the lines of his manga than anime since they don't tend to adapt their source materials properly. Also, his manga is much better than anime for the most part.

You should check out the manga. It's much better.

I see one of the influences on Miyazaki's Nausicaa manga in there.

Go Nagai is pretty much the reason a lot of anime and manga aimed at teens has explicit fanservice and nudity. He's also the reason that Anime has giant robots, and gruesome explicit violence.
