On the topic of Tezuka's high output rate setting expectations too high, there's this short two-page comic by Mizuki Shigeru, "The Power of Sleep", where Tezuka and Ishinomori were telling Shigeru about how they hadn't slept for days to work, which Shigeru then scolds them, saying lifespan is directly proportional to how much you sleep. It ends with Shigeru, now old (and who lived until 2015) saying "...and so, they both met with early deaths."

Tezuka's influence is mostly utilized to shadow creators like Al Taliaferro or Mauricio de Sousa, for the purposes of repackaging these marketing terms like "anime" with a racist, gatekeeping undertone. Same as so few knowing the names of Kurosawa or Sergio Leone when US media makes George Lucas and Quantin Tarantino so widely avaialble (and exclusive to an appropriated "style"). The copyright cartel is working every step against these artistic creators who WANT to spread their influences, while IN PARTICUALR the "non-capitalist" left wnats to control expression with Monsanto-style "intellectual" property law. From SAG-AFTRA strikes to Twitter, everyone loves the laborers in Asia, as long the own orignal characters belong to YOURSELF. Ripoffs from Little Mermaid to Thor to Götz from Berserk. Or was that from Dororo?

She was strapped for cash, but after some hesitation she bought it, and I've read it so many times since. It gets even better as you get older, it's truly a great manga, and it's my favorite by a mile. I've bought other editions to give away to friends, both in Japanese and in English.

Touching memorial to one of the greatest artists who ever lived. Minor issue: "Sometimes women played men"? In takarazuka, all of the actors are women. Early on, they are split into those who will play men and those who will play women, with both "encouraged" to stay in their roles even outside the theatre. It makes for some interesting theatre culture and pretty good plays.

TBH calling the cost-cutting measures bad characteristics of anime is a short-sighted view of the industry. Ultimately it enables people to spend more time on the most important scenes than others, at its best its only used in scenes wher ethe motions involved are just less interesting or important, i don't personally need 200 extra inbetweens for 2 characters talking in an elevator, for example. Sure, at its worst its a bad feature, but you could say that of a lot of important features of various mediums.

I agree that inventive use of limited resources has led to a wealth of creative compensations in the world of manga, but a huge part of the problem is also the rights of the animators themselves when overworked due to limited budget.

I love Osamu Tezuka, he's one of my biggest influences, both artistically and in my approach to storytelling. A true master of the artform. I'm so glad you made this video about him. I just find it so tragic how much of his work remains unpublished in English. I have to read some of his manga in Spanish and other languages because it has never been brought to the states, and I find that a true pity. Unico has gone out of print, which is one of his cutest and loveliest stories and I've never read Jungle Taitei even though I think it would be popular with kids. Whenever I see one of his books I try to scoop it up because it might go out of print and not come back like too much old manga that despite manga and anime's popularity globably gets no love from publishers here in the states.

Tezuka's influence on anime & manga is incalculable, that's for sure. For both good & bad, though, he was seemingly a workaholic with somewhat of a jealous streak, though that did often result in him creating some of his most iconic & cherished works. Dororo, for example, was created because Tezuka saw the success Shigeru Mizuki was having with GeGeGe no Kitaro & wanted to make his own yokai manga, while Tezuka's gekiga & alternative manga were definitely made because he wanted a piece of those pies. While his last words can be looked at with some admiration, they can also be interpreted as really sad, as it showed that all Tezuka seemingly wanted to do was work, no matter what, even at the risk of his own life.

I'm pretty sure he meant that Tezuka would eventually create manga in the genre of gekiga, which is true. He showed a Garo as he referred to the start of gekiga. And I don't think it's exactly true that the gekiga founders criticized Tezuka. Yoshiro Tatsumi was the main scribe of the Gekiga manifesto (Introduction To The Gekiga Workshop) and he utterly loved Tezuka, even praising story manga in the manifesto (see A Drifiting Life). In fact, it was Tezuka who wrote a public reply (To New Children's Manga Artists) decrying the gekiga scene and the noire tropes that it's early matter consisted of, and making the claim that manga was meant exclusively for children (which he'd obviously go back on later). Maybe other gekiga scenesters criticized him in ways I'm not aware of? I'd love to hear about it, if so!

He did all this incredible stuff and it still depresses me that all some people think of him is the guy who go ripped off by Disney (Kimba) which isn’t even a true. Glad to see someone covering him. EDIT: Alright I’m seeing a lot of people doing making some pretty nonsensical arguments for the controversy in the replies. They make so little sense that I am genuinely curious if the people making them have actually seen a single episode of Kimba, let alone read the manga. While I’m no fan of Disney as a company I think that most people on the Kimba “side” of things don’t really care about defending an artist or know anything about the property, but just dislike Disney (which is fair) and will do anything to invalidate its work (which is unfair). To the people talking about Matthew Brodrick’s single comment on initially thinking this would be a Kimba remake: take it with a grain of salt. He was a voice actor and had very little to do with the creative process. Had a lead animator or one of the directors said this then you might have a slight talking point but a voice actor saying this early in production means very little. Heck for all we know Broderick could have simply mushers the name “Simba” as Kimba. The are of the “white” Lion in pre production is not actually white but if you look at the lighting its being hit directly by the sun making the cub appear brighter. Furthermore, even if it was real white lions are real animals and equating this to a ripoff is like saying We bare Bears is a ripoff of Brother Bear because the both star feature brown/grizzly bears in North America despite everything else in these franchises being completely different.

The reputation that limited animation must be inferior is a stigma that has stuck since those in theatrical animation of the Golden Age felt threatened by television. Planned correctly, limited animation can be very dynamic as some Japanese productions have shown. "Cost-cutting"? Damn straight. Animation was very labour intensive. Try using the same methods of a Disney without the Disney budget. I used to have a video of the earliest Astro-boy and I thought the story made up for any necessary limitation in the animation.

As soon as I read the name, Astro Boy immediately popped into my head. A truly great man.

The first anime I've ever watched was a Osamu Tezuka adaptation, Don Dracula. It's a funny little anime not that special, but I remember it fondly, as I watched it as a kid in the late 80's (Don't remember the exact year, probably 89). As an adult, I searched the internet to try do watch it again, because I wanted to cosplay the titular character (Which I did, fun times) and learned an interesting story. The anime was cancelled very early, because the studio closed due to bankruptcy, and only 8 episodes had been made. Since there would be no more episodes, the TV stopped airing it, and at that point they have showed only until episode 4. So episodes 5-8 went unaired. Then, a TV channel from Brazil, where I'm from, bought the episodes because it was very cheap and aired them all here. So at that point, more episodes were aired in Brazil than in Japan, until the early 2000's when Japan released all episodes on DVD. Now we also have the full manga localized here and man, it is wild. It's for kids, but it's violent and dark at some points and really shows the different times. People drink and smoke and there's women being beaten in a scene of domestic abuse, this kinda of thing would never be made today. But is also very light hearted most of the time and really funny. I love Don Dracula, it's very short and worth both the watch and the read.
