How Osamu Tezuka Became the God of Manga

Ойын-сауық

Osamu Tezuka posthumously is known as the godfather of manga, the father of manga, or just simply the god of manga. In this video, we will take a closer look at Tezuka-san's life and his work. We will start with Astro Boy, Tezuka's most well-known and adapted work. Without Astro Boy, modern Shounen manga would be a vastly different reading experience. Then we will move into Tezuka's later years as we look at Ayako, a gripping character-driven story surrounding the horrors of the Tenge family. Without Osamu Tezuka's work, Eastern comic book writing would be VASTLY different today, and so many mangakas may never have started comic book writing without the vast array of Tezuka's work to reference from.

    Don’t think “ok, he’s pioneer of Manga, but looks like his works are outdated, so im not gonna read it. “ I know the art style might be too old, but his story telling is astonishing. Thats why his mangas are available in every single library in Japan. Buddha, Phoenixes, and Black Jack are hugely impacted me, and it changed my life.

    Storytelling is timeless. That's why the theaters are packed full of new superhero movies...because those stories, such as Batman and Spider-man, are timeless.

    Thanks to the growing popularity of manga in the West, I am glad to see videos like this explaining the history of manga so often, but I am always concerned that the history since Tezuka has been sketchy. Fujiko Fujio A passed away the other day, and I think the reaction in the Western community has been rather lackluster. He produced many masterpieces, but I wish The Manga michi (まんが道)was better known when it comes to the history of manga. This semi-autobiographical work describes what Tezuka was to the manga artists who came after him, the coming-of-age stories of the first generation of artists he influenced, and how Japanese manga became a huge industry. It is the biggest reason why Tezuka has come to be regarded as a god, and it is a masterpiece that every manga fanatic in Japan must read and every aspiring manga artist must read.

Alrighty now I'm halfway thru and I subscribed. You've gathered good clips, and I'm glad your channel is all about retro anime and history. I'm 1987, so I was part of that first round, and then I watched everything overload with new anime. Every streaming service I've ever had I always check for the oldest anime available.

    Tezuka drew "Ayako" inspired by "The Brothers Karamazov". This was written in the afterword of "Ayako". I like "Ayako" too. Actual Japanese incidents are also drawn and there is reality. Unfortunately, it is an unfinished work. kanji meaning Aya = strange, suspicious Ko = girl's name

    In the far future since the 2030s or 2040s, we hope there will be new remake movies and TV series 'Astro Boy / Iron Arm' produced by 'Walt Disney Animation Studio'. 'ASTRO BOY / IRON ARM' series is syrely originally designed by Osamu Tezuka. 'Astro Boy / Iron Arm' series look like and truly fit to 'Walt Disney Animation'.

    I really enjoyed this clip. I am reading his book, Ode to Kirihito. I really wish someone would make a focused and comprehensive video studying Tezuka's more mature adult later work. He has a great style of visual storytelling later in life that has always been overshadowed by Astro Boy.

    Have you gotten his 30s-early 70s history book called I'm a Mangaka (Boku wa Mangaka)? I recommend you to get one if you haven't gotten it lol. He had told his editors about his plan on writing his own mid 70s-80s history book, but unfortunately, it was never completed. You can also get his Secrets of the Manuscripts (Genga no Himitsu) for better understanding behind his manga completion struggles.

    "Is Bambi that good" Man, even Hitler loved that. Bambi is such a universal cute childhood to man kind of story. Even people who hate the USA think it's good. Of course, if you're quite cynic about it, then you will not enjoy it. You have to go with an open heart to see it. And if you can't, well. Your loss.

No surprise it blew Tezukas mind. Fun fact: Tezuka also drew a licensed Bambi manga adaptation for the Japanese market back then. :)
