I've recently had to look into old manga. Here's some more images
First one's by Junichi Nakahara, around 1941 I believe. The second is by Kouji Fukiya, 1925. The last 2 are works by Katsuji Matsumoto, around the mid 30s.
This has been your PSA, that manga and anime existed before Osamu Tezuka.

I'm never gonna get the sequel I really want. Or even a remaster.

As I guy who knows a little about Osamu Tezuka, allow me.
Dororo was one of Tezuka's first full attempts at mature content. He was initially excited to make it, but as it grew darker, he didn't like it's direction and lost his enthusiasm for the work. It also apparently wasn't popular at the time.

Here's some trivia that a lot of people miss. Did you know classic 2003 Korean film Oldboy was based on a Japanese manga? It's pretty good too. Same initial premise, but it goes to some different places.
Bonus fact, the Oldboy movie is part of a trilogy of vengeance themed films

I'm working away on the next Osamu Tezuka video. Sorry for being a professional procrastinator.
Anyways, remember how in The Mysterious Boy, the protagonist was inspired by actual legit literal Superman to not use his time-stop powers for evil? Superman is in a Tezuka manga

Don't know if this will get many replies, but what was your favorite Chao type from Sonic Adventure 1&2?
Personally, I was always a fan of the Dark Chaos. Especially when you give them a flame orb.
Hey SEGA devs, please bring back the Chao Garden.

Am I uninformed, or was the last non-mobile video game based on an Osamu Tezuka work the games for the 2009 Astro Boy movie? (not counting character cameos)
Like really? All those properties, and you couldn't give one or two of them a modern videogame? Who makes these decisions?

Fact 10: Tezuka was hired by the Vatican Church to make an animated adaptation of the Bible. He'd make a pilot and do some initial work for "In The Beginning: The Bible Stories", but die before it was completed.

Fact 9: Tezuka was a massive nerd about many things. Several of his manga were inspired by movies, books, plays, or historical figures. He also had a love for classical music, which he'd listen to as he wrote.

Fact 8: Tezuka's masterpiece work Phoenix took 3 times to get right. It first came out as a shonen work in 54, then got remade into a shojo work in 56, then got remade again in 67 into the version we know.

Fact 7: The 1963 Astro Boy anime wasn't even the first Astro Boy tv series. There's a live-action show from 1959, and an obscure lost puppet show from 57.

Here's another fun Osamu Tezuka panel. This is the last image from 1960s Singing Wild Roses (野ばらよいつ歌う), a biography manga of Clara Schuman.
The text on the left is Tezuks saying he'll return one day with a sequel to complete the story. He never did (as far as I know)

So, I've always hated Netflix's poster for Naoki Urasawa's Pluto (based on Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy). They just show Pluto on the cover when the anime and I think manga take measures to hide them for a mid-late series reveal.
So I used my bad photoshop skills and...

When you're Osamu Tezuka in 1963 writing your samurai-era manga Shisengumi, but you're also a fan of musicals. Gotta love this dork. (and no, this doesn't transition into something)

Just reading my way through Osamu Tezuka's 1968 work Norman. It's writing is a bit weird and bad, and it can be a little gorey at times with the villains being lizards who heal from dismemberment. But overall it's a standard, unremarkable, manga for teens........ Jeez Tezuka.
