It was done in 1985 and it looks at the man&#8217;s life, work, and contribution to Japan. If you didn&#8217;t know the amazing of Tezuka, then see a glimpse of it in this video. Fortunately, the uploader shared it with English subs too!<\/p>\n<p>This guy has done a lot for manga and has inspired quite a number of people to put their dreams and fantasies in panels. For girls comics (shoujo manga), a lot of female artists have shared that Tezuka&#8217;s <em>Princess Knight\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>(Ribon no Kishi)\u00c2\u00a0was an inspiration for them to draw girls&#8217; comics. Although, I&#8217;d probably leave Sapphire in a class of her own as Tezuka has had his own hits and misses with female representation.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, seeing this made me really understand his amazing contribution not just to Japan but to comic art as a whole. I believe we did a Manga Moveable Feast on Osamu Tezuka a few years back. If you feel like reading up a little more on him, you can check out <a href=\"http:\/\/mangabookshelf.com\/mmf-archive\/mmf-osamu-tezuka\/\">our Tezuka MMF archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I just saw this link randomly in my twitter dash late last night and couldn&#8217;t find who I got this from to give proper credit. But wow, a documentary to see Osamu Tezuka at work! While I have a vague idea how he does it (his life work tells a lot), it&#8217;s still nice to see the god of manga move around and show his craft.<\/p>\n<p>This probably goes around the line of other awesome video of manga folks drawing their craft. I&#8230; should possibly post those here soon-ish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an NHK documentary called Osamu Tezuka: Sousaku no Himitsu.
