Blaming Tezuka for whst happens today is ridiculous. When Tezuka started back in the 50s~60s everyone was working day in and day out for minimum wage in Japan. Then they went through an economic boom in the 1980s followed by a bubble burst after which Japanese exports to the US fell to a record low and the whole chain of production took a massive blow and this is on top of the advancements on computer animation since the mid 90s that has made deadlines even shorter for significally higher quality so its not the same business it once was.

Thank you for watching. I agree. The Anime Production Committee is responsible for funding so many of the anime we watch, yet, they choose not to give more money to animators and instead, take the profits for themselves.

Mushipro straight up paid its staff better than basically any other studio at the time. The concept of tezuka's curse is basically propaganda, not the actual history of the industry lol
As someone who is a big fan Tezuka, I was expecting this video to be some unfair clickbait hit piece on guy a who's been dead for years. But honestly, this video is a good explaination and summary on the industry. Even though he revolutionized and created the anime industry, Tezuka really did unintentionally ruin it for everyone else in the long run. Good video.

Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! Yeah, I learned about the "Tezuka Curse" discourse among English speaking fans, and I wanted to see if people in Japan felt the same way (turns out some, including Director Hayao Miyazaki do) which led me to learning more about the anime and manga industry. While Tezuka unintentionalally started a precedent, the people at the top (advertisement companies etc) are the ones keeping it that way.
I think what the industry has forgotten to recognize that Tezuka is literally the exception. Just because he seemingly can do the weekly manga schedule doesn’t mean everyone should. Heck, even the weekly schedule took a toll on Tezuka as well: he literally died begging a nurse to not take away his work.
This is really sad to know a work so important like animation has so low on the animators, and its not even Japan, i wish the industry treated them better, both drawn and CGI animators

I agree. It's sad knowing these industries make billions of dollars, but the payout for the hardest workers is so low.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, I wonder what the animation world in Japan would be like if he had let Toei Douga do a 30 minute anime a season.
You can't blame him. Tezuka wasn't known for being a good business man. So its harsh to blame him when he was an artist who did what he did with the very little he had.
The thing is, high quality, expensive animation isn't possible on a weekly schedule. That goes doubly for back in the pre-digital animation days when everything was done by hand. Serialize, weekly animation has always and still is made on the cheap. They use techniques to save time and money and those techniques have become part of the language of anime. Theatrical anime films is where you go if you want stunning art and animation. OVAs were revolutionary because you could get near-theatrical quality animation without the restraints of theatrical ratings boards. It does suck that workers in anime get paid so little and I do think they deserve more pay. But I don't think anyone can blame Tezuka for doing what he had to do to make the first weekly anime.
I was really lucky to find this video, it's quality it's at the same level (if not better) as that of much larger channels Keep up the amazing work! You earned a new sub, looking up to see you grow on this platform

The Shuho Sato quote seems quite fitting for this situation. Honestly, I really don't know where to start. The problem with looking at the anime industry (not manga. I think they're doing relatively better) is that there is an extremely elaborate system in place; that you don't even know how things will turn out if you just turn one dial. You may just have to re-do everything from the start with human well-being and prosperity as a focus, while you re-build it again.

I hope for a better tomorrow for animators in Japan. They deserve better wages for what they do. As well as more balance in their life.
This isnt only in anime industry in Japan, many western industry use cheap labor in 3rd world too. Take a look on Marvel movie which use outsource CGI artist to make more movie in short time with low budget.

時代背景が違うんだよ。 そんなことも分からないのか?
And here I thought everyone in the anime and manga industry respected Osamu Tezuka. Blaming him will solve the problems these artists are facing. They just using him as a scapegoat, instead of getting new laws and policies made to, so they can get paid well.
Fair to say, Tezuka was screwed over by fellow higher ups too.
I like his anime works Tezuka works on
Basically, he was just so good that his fellow boomers demanded animators, as well as future ones, to be like him. And by "so good," I meant not only good at his craft but was especially good for business because of his willingness to work for dirt cheap. So Tezuka is not entirely to blame, but those who got too greedy as they exploit their country's resistance to change because HARMony..... (ironic for a country who is considered to be more moral and based than the West)
What if Osamu Tezuka Was Still Alive
