RE: Lessons from Past Anime #3: Aging well - Ashita no Joe vs Devilman (1970s)

in #history7 years ago (edited)

Are you then ignoring what Go Nagai himself has written about Devilman being anti-war? If you read later Nagai works and his interviews, it's rather clear that Nagai is a full blown pacifist and this theme is not new to him. The series has received numerous iterations over the years, and being constantly updated for modern times (Devilman G for example). It's far from being a relic. Nagai just provided the ingredients, and other authors are fit to do whatever they want with the character.
