Someone who actually animates. Opening a studio =/= actually animating something. Why the hell should I explain anything. You freaking don't listen or understand a thing I say. Temper, temper! There are all kinds of different jobs that go into an animation studio. Are you then saying a person who d...

People have told me that if there is no source for something, then it is more than likely to not be true. . Just because you were unable to find a source does not mean that something does not have a source. I myself read in an article at the time Mega Man made his first appearance on American telev...

I'm just saying, You cannot assume everything, which is exactly what you have been doing the entire damn time. Okay, I will just come out and say it. If you start an animation studio, yes that makes you an animator! So tell me what is your defination of an animator? I :heart: :astro: :p :lol:

Just because one person founds an animation studio, doesn't automatically make them an animator. What does that make him then, an entrepreneur? I would think that one of Tezuka's proteges would like to follow in his footsteps and be an animator in the way Tezuka was. It is not that big a stretch fo...

Thank you to Jeffbert and Strange Wings for providing this post and then for translating it! I like the comment about "Ghost in the Shell"! While I have seen this episode I think the shots you chose were great! Especially the group shots of the Astro Boy siblings. (Okay so Atom is Astro Boy; Uran is...

I was very saddened by the news of Ms. Sladen's passing as I am a huge Doctor Who fan and she was the first companion I ever saw and she was hot!

And according to his bio @ the Anime News Network, in 1963, he founded the anime production company "Studio Zero"! So I guess that would make him an animator! I :...

Famed Anime director Osamu Dezaki has passed on at the age of 67 of lung cancer on April 17th! Dezaki directed many an episode of Astro Boy as well as other Tezuka characters such as: Black Jack, Dororo, and Goku. Other characters he directed were Lupin III, and Golgo 13! RIP, Dezaki! I :astro: :)

Read Tezuka's intro to Denkou again. He said that at the time, many kids were sending in their own manga to publishing companies as part of some sort of contest or something, and Ishimori was one of them, which Tezuka caught notice and notified for him. Ishimori was still a kid when he was asked to...

Except Shotaro Ishimori was just a kid when he was asked to draw the Denkou chapter's backgrounds. And I'd imagine so with the coming years.

I didn't get that last part. You imagine what?
