@tern_inca who the heck is arguing about the authorial intent of Triton of the Sea of all things?

@JSomeCanadian I met someone who argued that this story was made for adult men

Finished reading Osamu Tezuka's Triton of the Sea Honestly, I didn't like it that much. I feel like it's story wasn't well thought-out at times, like Tezuka kept changing his mind with the story's direction. It also felt a bit jarring with it's blend of comedy and serious bits

Star Fox fans getting a surprise announcement of a new game, and seething over the new designs (which I think look perfectly fine, though maybe not the best ever) Meanwhile, an F-Zero fan cries to himself

That feeling when you try to eat something healthier, and buy a less sugar-ey option, and all you can think is "wow, this is bland" will explore ways to improve

So, I'm reading more of Osamu Tezuka's 1969 manga General Onimaru, and later on in the story, he uses purple cloth to disguise himself as "the purple bandit" or something... Is this a reference to something? It feels so deliberate to be a random design

I might need some help. Does anyone know where I can find any footage of the 1976 Japanese NHK show 『Kaname the Wind Child』 助けていただきたいのですが、1976年にNHKで放送された「風の子ケーン」の映像が見られる場所をご存知の方はいらっしゃいますか？

@KettuGames But I still haven't played Verho yet.

Bonehold demo is now released! Hope you all enjoy it! ^^

This is getting way more likes and reposts than I thought it would. Weird

Osamu Tezuka drawing John Wayne for the intro of his 1969 manga General Onimaru This doesn't really matter much. He's just being a movie nerd again.

Picture of the goslings

The goslings are in season. Cute little baby geese. So tiny and yellow and fluffy. I hope the ducklings come in soon. I'll be visiting my local pond every week to see them. Baby ducklings and goslings. Heck Yeah.

@spi3lzeug @nzH20eUo3Z95996 Ugh, people don't research anything about Osamu Tezuka before posting online Japanese Wikipedia says he based Sapphire off of Takarazuka actress Chikage Awashima. I'm not digging through all his interviews right now for a quote ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AA… ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B7%A1…

@JSomeCanadian @nzH20eUo3Z95996 if sapphire was pulled from a specific actress that def debunks that rumor that goes around in the english speaking fandom, some people draw sapphire with dark skin in reference to betty boop but the whole "betty boop is black" is itself a false rumor

昔の漫画家さん(主に藤子・F・不二雄先生、手塚治虫先生など)って何であんな斬新なキャラデザを思いつくのか不思議でしかない。どちらかと言うとシンプルなキャラデザなのに記憶に残りやすくて「話は知らないけど見た目は知ってる」ってキャラが殆どな気がする。昭和の漫画家は何を見て育ったんだろう

@nzH20eUo3Z95996 @spi3lzeug Yes. Tezuka grew up heavily inspired by the Takarazuka Revue, and it influenced some of his works. In his early days, he even made short works for the Takarazuka Magazine (Here is an example)

@JSomeCanadian @spi3lzeug 宝塚歌劇団の方々ですね！家が宝塚歌劇団の大スターと隣だったとか！！よく見に行ってたと聞いたことがある！

@spi3lzeug @nzH20eUo3Z95996 I don't "think" I've seen a direct quote from Tezuka saying Geta was based on Dick Tracy, but I'd believe it

@JSomeCanadian @nzH20eUo3Z95996 oh cool! if you find them i'd like to see the source also i'm not sure that geta is pulled from dick tracey but they look very similar and my friend mistaked my tracey fan art as geta lol so its also just a hunch

@spi3lzeug @nzH20eUo3Z95996 I'd have to look around a bit to find the source, but I'm like 80% sure Sapphire was based on some Takarazuka actress. I think Miichi also was

@nzH20eUo3Z95996 And Princess sapphire is suspected to be inspired by betty boop Others like baba, pinoko, lamp, and sankaku are based on people he knew in real life i believe

#ゴールデンウィークに手塚作品を読もう I recently read Shumari. I didn't know anything about it going in, but I liked it. Shumari himself was a fun character. Not really a hero, just trying to live his own life. Is this a popular Tezuka manga?

The text is more or less, "did you know John Wayne was gonna make a movie about.... yada yada yada"

@stargirl072208 What a fun cover for Tezuka's Buddha
