![Jordan Adetunji - KEHLANI REMIX (feat. Kehlani) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EeJ8n5PxFGE/mqdefault.jpg)
Danzig is a huge Devilman fan, he even has a tattoo of the Japanese logo.
He was a fan of Captain Harlock as well, screen printing his skull and cross bones on shirts to wear in the early 80s
Of course there was the CFO and other anime clubs that had formed, but Glen might have been the first entertainer figure/superfan that was championing anime and manga to whoever wanted to hear about it.
Monkey Punch is like Mick McMahon to me (Only far more sexual in terms of his content) because Monkey Punch's art really REALLY changed over the decades. His initial Lupin III Manga was quite close to the stuff of the time, such as Leiji Matsumoto but it was quite scratchy (He was 100% a Dip Pen user) and I think he was also a dude who followed the trends of Manga (When it began becoming slightly more scratchy with the appearance of Go Nagai and his Devilman/Violence Jack work) but then he was also FAMOUSLY a lover of western comics, where you can see his Mort Druckerisms (Namely in female faces and hands) where as his men are straight out of Sergio Aragones and his silly but also incredibly detailed style (who he was a massive fan of).
What's even funnier is that Monkey Punch wrote the Japanese intro to "The Death of Superman". ALSO if you check it out in the later years where things get SUPER freaking lose, you can tell that the guy and tight deadlines had a price to pay on his output. Dude didn't get anywhere NEAR as much heat as Go Nagai did but that was because Go Natai started in kids comics and almost had to flee the country at one point because of the amount of fuss that he was causing due to the Parents Association and Monkey Punch was in the clear because he mainly worked for the equivalent of Playboy Magazine where he could get away with that stuff.
Anyway, one of the fun things is seeing Monkey Punch not having the time to change some of his mistakes because some Lupin pages are rougher than sandpaper across a snakes arse. Again? I THINK the dude was juggling a hit series (that had brief hiatuses), other commitments (such as cinderella boy) and I think the dude was stretched thin at points.
EDIT - Jim! Ed! GOTTA tell you guys. If there's a Kamen Rider you guys NEED to get a hold of, it's Kamen Rider Black's Manga. Ishinomoris last Kamen Rider comic (I think he wrote the Skullman Manga and someone else drew it) and it's his tezuka style cartoony manga but as a pure body horror story and it's GENUINELY surprising. I think the best way to do it is making your own bootleg from scanlations, but oh man, it's REALLY something.
Heh glad you guys discovered these. If you guys wanna know about manga reach out to us manga fans. SevenSeas is super well known in our community haha.
Devilman and Kamen Rider are 10/10 and essentially two of the best manga ever created. I like the others but Devilman is beyond insane. I actually prefer the sequel Violence Jack which is top10 manga of all time, and underated in the West, but well known over in Japan.
That Kamen Rider is the origin of real Cyberpunk. People put the origin with Akira but Otomo himself says the whole Biker Punk angle was from Kamen Rider and the same came be said for films like Crazy Thunder Road and Burst City. Kamen Rider set that cyborg-biker punk vibe up for the 80s to run with.
Agree with you guys I wish seven seas published more classic stuff. Go Nagai and Mitsutera Yokoyama alone are a treasure trove. Wish i knew how to print manga and get the rights myself!
Cheers for discovering this stuff guys. Welcome to the team.
I picked up the Go Nagai and Leiji Matsumoto collections a little while back, found a book shop in Sydney that had all the Seven Seas stuff when we there in 2020 right before Covid hit - awesome books which were a massive inspiration shot to read going into working on Image Grand Design with everyone while we were all in lockdown! And man, that second volume of Devil Man is brutal, you’re in for a treat reading that one Ed 😂
Spriggan was my first manga back in 96' ~ 97' since than i am a fanatic for all adult orientated japanese stuff... like jp vinyl, jp Video games, jp couriosities. Wow maybe i have to Start collecting OG Mangas. Damn. Anyways, i saw that netflix produced a Remake of the OG Spriggan anime. I did not watched it yet, and probably will never watching it. I don't want netflix to destroy my teenage memories. I don't like all of these cgi animes... i wish there where more OG mangaka/directors out there who would produced anime like back in the 80' ~ 90'.
Currently reading their Lupin III manga collection that I got from Barnes and Noble.
Lupin is getting another book soon
Most of these can be found pretty easily at stores like Barnes and Nobles or online through RightStuf, I rarely see comic shops selling manga in general.
I can only speak on Lupin but Seven Seas is going to publish the second best of collection, I haven't seen a third one come out in Japan yet but there was an "Unpublished Collection" for the stories that never were collected. I doubt Lupin sells well enough here to publish the whole series again (TokyoPop sold them in the mid 2000s) or the later stuff that only had Monkey Punch as a writer but it would be amazing. He's definitely one of my favorite mangaka so I've been collecting his work for about a decade now, too bad I can't read it.
I think alot of us are waiting for the Berserk episode. Kentauro Miura was partly inspired by Devilman. Considering the graphic nature of the manga I think it would fit some of the outlaw and extreme 90s action comics been shown here on the podcast.
Very thankful to hear about Seven Seas! It's continually bewildering and frustrating that American manga publishers sort of stay in obscurity. Even the Vertical stuff is hard to come by (only been able to track down one issue of Tezuka's 'Phoenix' for a decent price.) And the websites of these publishers are...rough. Definitely seems like it must be a labor of love for publishers but would be great to see more stuff on shelves or at least more accessible and known online. This is a great PSA!
Ed, I highly recommend you pick up the two hardcovers of Queen Emeraldas by Leiji Matsumoto to go with your Harlock and Yamato books. They are by Kodansha, not Seven Seas but they are great books for people who love the old school space pirate esthetic.
If this is gonna be highly Kayfabe, can we get the entire Kayfabe community go to Seven Seas and get them to reprint Galaxy Express 999, Mazinger, Violence Jack, and Gatchaman.
Man it's nice to see I'm not the only one who wants all of these to see an English release.
@@themangog7900 Not even nearly the only one. There's some terrible things I'd do for a good collection of these, especially Mazinger
@@themangog7900 I’ve been asking for them ever since these came out.
Are there any English manzinger mangas out there? I’ve been wanting to get into that genre. Anybody got recommendations apart from robo tech?
I found those Kamen Rider and GoRenger books at a Books-A-Million of all places, had no idea about the others but I do love the book design. I'll note that the "before Power Rangers, there was Super Sentai" header on the GoRenger book is what Shout! Factory puts on the header of their super sentai DVD box sets, I thought that was a nice touch and it doesn't seem to clutter up the design too much. I do like those cover designs as well, very simple, very eye-catching.
I'd never heard of the publisher either before finding the books, very curious how they're doing their marketing. Feels almost niche within a niche.
Lupin is my absolute favorite manga/anime. They are so different but both equally as awesome.
Nagai's books seem to have been written by a 10 year old high on sugar and caffeine, and I love them so much!
I've always wanted reprints for cyborg 009 I always thought vertical would license it
You're not the only one, it kinda seems like a no-brainer for reprinting older material since people are familiar with the anime.
@@themangog7900 also since we had those weird remakes a few years ago along with that remake od devil man vs cyborg 009
Given the design of 008 that was used in the manga it may not get a reprint. Problematic racial depictions can make reprints dodgy.
@@MangaMattReviews tokyopop censored it so you can censor it also at a certain points he stopped drawing him that way
Unfortunately vertical does not really exist anymore they got bought out by Kodansha
I bought those Go Nagai books day 1, got the Matsumoto ones a year ago and then having grown up on power rangers and Godzilla shit found with a buddy how entertaining a weed and beer movie night is with shit like dental and kamen rider and went down the rabbit hole about the creator and bought those like a month ago. good shit somebody is finally publishing work by such important mfs here in the states. Regardless of how the stories themselves aged, you can open any of these damn books and go oh damn so that's how this whole style started from the art to the stories. We've seen the influenced creators over here for years, just not the influences. It makes me wonder how lots of our western comic OGs have been published elsewhere or at all
Theres also Rose of Versailles by Udon Entertainment, Kitaro by Drawn and Quarterly, Queen Emeraldas by Kodansha, Tank Tankoro by Drawn and Quarterly. All of them are still pretty cheap and easy to come by.
All of that time travel stuff in the middle of those Devilman was not part of the original Devilman, but Shin Devilman (which I guess is a "mid-quel").
There is a G1 Transformers / Mazinger Z crossover manga in Japan, but I don't think it was ever translated into English (at least officially).
Stumbled onto Seven Seas because they put out an english translation of Yokohama Kaidashi Kiko recently. Odd publisher, they seem to put out either cult classics or just really trashy stuff. I remember Lupin III being one of the big mangas that Tokyopop put out when they were still in business but I'm not sure how many albums of it they put out before folding. I'm sure people can find those floating around, since they were in stores at the same time CN was showing Lupin III cartoons on adult swim, so I'm sure they sold a few.
Nevermind, checked ebay and those tokyopop books are expensive now lol.
Tokyopop got the original manga out at 14 volumes. They were trying to complete Shin Lupin but it barely sold so I don't know how many they got through (I think maybe 6?)
I bought the first four years ago when they were cheap. I didn’t know hardly anything about comics and bounced off of them and sold them.
I regret getting rid of them now
The DEVILMAN hardcovers are on my list and some spicy dojin i found plus the fact i already have my X-Men grand design vol. 1-3 are on the way
These look great. A fantastic way to collect some great work. I hope I can pick some of these up!
Any good comic book store with a proper manga section should carry these editions. We do here in Amsterdam! Also: a second Lupin collection will be released at the end of July.
Thanks so much for this video, I also had no clue they exist and did now order pretty much all of them (plus Spriggan and Dragon Half)
I had the pre-orders in for the Kamen Rider and Gorenger book. They're so awesome. Might need to pick up these other volumes.
It’s likely in places like Barnes and Noble. Manga in the US is MUCH larger than US comics, check sales numbers. It’s likely they just skip, or are limited in direct market stores . The direct market has done its best to be insular and avoid expansion...and scare away new readers.
Im surprised yall weren't aware of seven seas, theyre pretty well known amongst manga readers. They recently had a workers strike several months back
way ahead of kayfabe effect
i have all 7 seas books on go nagai and Leiji Mtsumoto
devilman is sooo ahead of its time
I bought the Captain Harlock books and loved them. Just kind of ashamed that it ended on such as crummy cliffhanger because Matsumoto was too busy on the anime to finish it
Loving all this manga coverage you guys! I really want to see more, Harlock, Devilman, it's all good!
I subscribe to their monthly newsletter and they send out surveys where readers could recommend titles they could scoop licenses on.
Enticing video! I was also surprised with the scratchy, sketchy art for Lupin III when Tokyo Pop had those volumes on the shelves of Borders Books - nothing like the style I'd associated with the Lupin anime, Lupin III: Castle Of Cagliostro (I was first exposed to that by way of the arcade game that utilized scenes from the cartoon - much like Dragon's Lair arcade game). I may need to pick up those Captain Harlock hardbacks. Interiors look luscious. Heard a lot about Devil Man, but never read it. I've been reading Tezuka's Dororo omnibus - it's the one Tezuka manga I've honestly enjoyed (I've tried Astro Boy, Adolf, Black Jack, Phoenix...) Thanks, gents
Great finds! I actually already had their Space Battleship Yamato, and hadn't thought much of who published it. It physically is similar enough to the hardcover Vertical books, so I kind of assumed it was probably the same. I did look at my copy and it seems to have a remainder kind of mark on it. So, I figured I should pickup several of these you showed, just in case they vanish. They really are great physical books and some series I've want to read.
Can’t wait to see your Devilman episode! Battle Angel Alita/Gunnm soon?
Got the Devilman stuff a few weeks ago, great stuff!
These are excellent. I own a few myself but wasn't able to get the Devilman, Cutie Honey, or Yamato ones. Still really happy with what i have and it feels so great to see these exist. Still awaiting a new announcement from Seven Seas. Apparently the only other thing they're releasing so far is a volume 2 of Lupin III. Really hoping they release more stuff like Mazinger, or Getter Robo, or shit maybe even like take another stab at Cyborg 009. I love your idea though for Kamui Den, those first 3 Eclipse titles seriously gotta make a comeback! Could you imagine a multiple volume hardcover set of Mai, Area 88, and Kamui? Man that'd be the day.
Awesome grab and video guys
I was looking for these comics as I’m a big Devilman Fan and Cutie Honey is out of Print and so fucking expensive, I wish there’s a reprint coming soon
I’ve been reading manga off and on since the mid 80’s and it’s an interesting alternative to superhero glut! Once again you guys keep showing me why I watch your videos!❤⚡️👍🎯Keep reading and making comix!💡
Finally ordered the DEVILMAN hardcovers 😁
Other than Lupin III, I think the missus and I have most of these. And these are great bargains for digging into of classic manga.
I have the Cutie Honey, Kamen rider and Goranger sets so far, picking up the rest over the next few weeks, I think the quality is amazing, Mazinger Z is only 5 volumes long for the fist run, They could do that in one or preferably two volumes, Have the colour pages, maybe include the individual volume covers for fun, Maybe some promos for the tie in movies, As far as Ishinamori he has so many amazing series, Cyborg 009, Inazuman, Kikider all great stuff, could see them doing any of them, But to me Mazinger Z is probably the one most likely to happen as the series is pretty well known out west despite only having a partial poorly done dub that people have nostalgia for.
These were all in your Barnes and Noble type bookstores. They don’t get restocked at my local one very often though, probably due to their price and their footprint. I don’t know if there are any additional releases currently scheduled aside from a second volume of Lupin III. Also missing from your stack is Claudine, which is a shojo manga from the master Ryoko Ikedq, creator of Rose of Versailles.
There are some other classic manga releases by other companies to keep your eye out for. Kodansha has been rereleasing a lot of the Tezuka material that Vertical published a while back and also just released Bomba, a lesser known Tezuka production. Rose of Versailles is also in print thanks to Udon.
Seven Seas was not messing around with these re-prints, especially with including the red ink.
Moving forward, I'm pretty sure more publishers of manga are going to start introducing color into the mix, especially on books like these.
If you can get your hands on them, it’d be cool to see you guys flip through the original printings of these debut chapters in manga zasshi.
I knew about these, but most popular ones have been out of print for a while. Thanks to you guys I went to check if they are available again and grabbed all I didn't already have faster than Lupin the 3rd gets laid in those old stories. Great stuff! I also think that Seven Seas makes their money of Boys Love and Big titty Girls books as well as Tokyo Revengers, which is huge right now and these hardcover collections are mostly "for the culture" and old guys like us, lol.
They do looks interesting indeed. I'm getting the Devilman right now
The Lupin book is great. I wish they were reprinting everything but I’ll take what I can get. They are supposed to print a second greatest heists collection over the summer.
The first lupin story is rough but the collection is great after that
Im a fan of old school manga and comics and stuff in general and seven seas is top tier with putting out old school stuff
Also check out black jack by osamu tezuka
And maybe Hellsing by kouta hirano
For more classic manga authors, you guys should look up some of Shigeru Mizuki's work
Showa is a good one, which is a historical manga. There are some Kitaro books that have been published in the USA, too, but they're also "best of" and not in chronological order.
Seven Seas is pretty neat publisher, I have enjoyed their releases for a while now since they publish a lot of isekai manga and I have been on a isekai manga kick lately.
I was shocked to find the Devilman books at my local Chapter's when first published
They are all mostly at Barnes and nobles great stuff
I guess the kayfabe effect worked. I don't see them under $20 any where now.
King Kayfabers scooped them all up. Beat the rush. www.patreon.com/cartoonistkayfabe
That Kamen Rider book is going for $70 plus here in Australia already…
There is a second volume of that lupin book coming out if you wanna grab that for a future episode
I have a bunch of these. They're releasing a Lupin collection vol 2 this year
took me a while tro get devilman, it was oop for a second. however some of the other titles dont do nearly as well. so pick em up. need more classic
I see you guys picked up that Lupin 3, starring Jim Cornette LOL!
Devilman was way ahead of it's time with is ideas of God And Demonic lore
WHOOOAA this is dope I just picked up Cutie Honey and Kamen Rider. Have you read Osamu Tezuka's "Buddha" or his "Adolf" manga?
another banger
Does anyone know of any Tokyo tours that focus on manga? Seems daunting to travel without knowing the language.
Check out Spriggan from Seven Seas
Not sure if you got them from Seven Seas or another outlet, but I see that they are like $30 each on there now , so not the super cheap score you got ;)
.
In the mid 00's I was in middle school and looking for scans of Dragon Ball to read past what was out here in comics and the anime videos I also found devil man scanlations and read it based on title alone and for years was screaming into the void at my friends about how dope go nagai is and how he pioneered thru mazinger and cutie honey like major genres of manga/anime. Got into matsumoto later bc someone gave me a harlock DVD and aesthetic alone sold my ass. I'm primarily a superhero and Western comic guy but the 70-80s manga and anime I'm super into thanks to those. It took a fuckin Netflix anime to get those devil man books out here. I didn't realize SS had released any Lupin but I do know when tokyopop released it they skipped some chapters bc lupin is one horny son of a gun lmao if y'all get a chance to look at more monkey punch try to find some late work bc his style changes radically although I personally prefer that scratchy early work it's dope as fuck. The first anime series and the "woman called fujiko mine" and its related movies are way more like his work than the other shows and movies and worth a watch.
RIP L. Matsumoto. ED HAS EYES!!!!
Total treasure trove, nice
I love kamen rider and super Sentai, the trifecta of tokusatsu
Lupin the 3rd = Jim Cornette
These editions sell fast that's why you don't see them in shops
Please review B E R S E R K !!!!
Danzig's translations of Shin Devilman was actually pretty good, the only problem is Shin Devilman is utter shit
THERES STILL COMIC BOOK STORES THAT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST MANGA. WONT CARRY AMYTHING BESIDES A FEW THINGS IN A CORNER. BARNES AND NOBLES USUALLY IS BETTER THAN COMIC SHOPS, WHICH IS SAD.
