I've yet to read all his works, (I've been procrastinating), but I've been thinking of making some videos going more in-depth and analyzing some Osamu Tezuka manga. I've got two in mind so far that I think will be decent conversation, but are there any particular suggestions?

One Osamu Tezuka Per Day: Day 5 Diary of Ma-chan / マアチャンの日記帳 1946 Tezuka's first published manga. This little comedy strip was the start of a long career. I love this continuous series of panels in particular. #OneOsamuTezukaPerDay #OsamuTezuka #手塚治虫

Trying to write a script for a video basically explaining who Osamu Tezuka is and why you should care. It's harder to convey than I thought. Not sure explaining that he made a lot of manga and pioneered anime is convincing. Oh well, guess I'll work on it. Or just axe it.

Random idea for a thing. One Osamu Tezuka panel / page per day. Each day from a different manga. Might be fun, or I might forget to do it. That or I'll run out of stuff I've read, and will need to actually finish reading everything. #OneOsamuTezukaPerDay

That feeling when you become so familiar with a topic, that you know an image relating to it is AI purely on the basis that you've never seen it before, and if it was real, you would have. Lazy butt AI Youtube Thumbnails. It's not hard to take 5 minutes and make one yourself

Look, I'm just saying, there's a lot that could be done with a Silent Hill Golf Game. Silent Holes. The franchise has a lot of holes. And, you know, characters to play golf with and fun locations. There was a hole here. It's gone now #silenthill #silenthillf #silenthill2

Do crappy AI Youtube thumbnails actually help? I see some of them and think "wow, it would literally take like an actual minute to google image search an equivalent to that". Why do people use them?

I wish I could clone myself and turbo work on more Osamu Tezuka educational videos. Cause boy, it feels like barely anyone actually knows about his actual work. There's like a list of 10 Tezuka things everyone pulls from. Almost never outside of those.

Not trying to call anyone out, but whenever I see "X artist is the most influential, or Y thing is just as important", I feel like noone ever supports their argument. They just say it, and are like "trust me". At least try and support your argument

Mini Review: Mini Motorways This is a fun, but surprisingly difficult little puzzle game. Where the devs previous game Mini Metro had you forming train-lines and manage traffic, this time it's roads and motorways. Going for high-scores and fun, even when things quickly go wrong

You know how Warhammer 40k has a thing where AI is called "abominable intelligence" in a derogatory manner? Can we make that a thing? Just bring that slang term into real life? #warhammer40k #ai

So, why can't I sort my Youtube videos by actual statistics? Why can't I sort by most likes, likes ratio, most comments, or other variations like this? A big platform, and they don't have basic sort features? This is like a super basic SQL sort. #Youtube

Alright. Many more Sword of Moonlight games have been played. For those hoping I'd follow up my video on Kings Field fan games made in the SoM engine, you'll be getting some more content in the future. I'll try to now make you wait too long.

Pathologic 3 looks really cool. As a fan of the last 2 games, I bought it to support the devs, but likely won't find the time to play it for a while. Still need to go back and to more playthroughs of 2. Anyways, hooray for Pathologic 3. #pathologic #pathologic3

So, while I try to keep my video's and thumbnails classy, some shenanigans on Discord eventually led to this more "modern" and "Youtube algorithm friendly" thumbnail. Enjoy.

I guess Jan 1st is celebrated in Japan as Astro Boy day, because that's when the 1st episode of the 1963 anime aired. Well then, happy Astro Boy day everyone. I hope to make more videos celebrating the works of Osamu Tezuka this year too. #鉄腕アトムの日 #Astroboy

This is an important PSA: Osamu Tezuka invented Astro Boy before he ever saw Bambi. Tezuka saw Bambi when it was released in Japan in May of 1951. He had published Ambassador Atom in April. Osamu Tezuka did not give Astro / Atom big eyes after seeing Bambi.

Btw, I'm thinking of starting to stream again come the new year and seeing if that can't be something I do more regularly. I should have simultaneous Twitch and Youtube streams figured out. I don't consider myself a good streamer, but if that sounds interesting, keep an eye out

Video is still a good ways away, but I felt like making some thumbnails. Not sure which design I like better.

Finally reached 200 subs. It's been a good year for the channel. Lets get to 300 by the end of next year

It slipped my mind to post it, but hey, better late than never. With all the arguing about what inspired Osamu Tezuka thanks to that Chinese video, I would like to recommend my video on Osamu Tezuka Misconceptions. One of them is about his inspirations youtu.be/YfQ7xmHKFR8

Trismegistus Up! Playing my way through Trismegistus, a Kings Field fan-game made in the Sword of Moonlight Engine. It's completely puzzle-focused, and has no combat as far as I've seen. It's fun. #SwordOfMoonlight #KingsField

Merry Christmas. I finally get to use this Osamu Tezuka piece from 1956, Children's Christmas Party / クリスマスこどもかい. Next year, I'll try and bring you all a lot more fun material about Tezuka. And maybe one or two other things. #OsamuTezuka #Christmas2025

Nearing the end of a year always makes me introspective. I wonder where my channel will be in 12 more months? I guess I should at least be done going through Tezuka's general works, and onto the specific ones like Kimba and Astro Boy. Or maybe I'll get sidetracked.

I've already made a video talking about it, but it still irks me how people say Osamu Tezuka got his big-eye style from Bambi. Tezuka was drawing big eyes before he even saw Bambi. (as seen in Metropolis, 1949).

It's fun knowing Jojo's Part 7 is gonna come out. I've already read it, and can't wait to see internet people discover certain things.

Random people are finding my channel. If this keeps up, I might just reach 200 subscribers by end of year. That would be nice.

Been playing some Diadem of Maunstraut recently, or as I've taken to calling it "Kings Field Kaizo" in preparation for the next Sword of Moonlight video. Oh boy, this fan game sure isn't for the weak-hearted. I think it's section of the video is gonna be interesting.

I beat Shadow Tower. It was a little rough in places, but fun #FromSoftware #KingsField

It's gonna be a while until I get to it, but I can't wait to put out the next Osamu Tezuka retrospective video, just because I'll finally get to show off Tezuka and his "adult" content. Blow some people's minds. I'll also have to get used to censoring manga panels

Work on the next Sword of Moonlight video has begun in earnest, and I can already tell it's gonna be a fun script. Stay tuned for some Kings Field / Shadow Tower fan games, since From Software is too busy with Souls-likes to revisit the genre. (not that I blame them)

The amount of people I see posting Osamu Tezuka manga panels or anime clips, but who don't also say where it's from, is too high. Post the source.

Part 4 of my video series going through every Osamu Tezuka work is here. We're into the early 60s, and have finally gotten to actual anime. But Astro Boy isn't where Tezuka's anime career started. To find out more, check out the video. #anime #manga youtu.be/yLLMwK6WdIk

I have been reminded of the fact that Tales of Symphonia still hasn't gotten a port without some kind of problem with it, since the original GameCube release. What the heck is up with that?

Calling all Pokemon fans, especially Bulbasaur enjoyers

Here's some rare Osamu Tezuka stuff. These are images from the 1967 Princess Knight manga, written by Tezuka, drawn by Kitano Hideaki. It follows a version of Franz from the future going back in time to meet his ancestor Sapphire #OsamuTezuka #手塚治虫

My Osamu Tezuka books came in. Yay. Lots of good stuff here. Manga you can't find anywhere else. It's a shame I can't just read it, but give me a good while with a translator, and I'm sure I can find a bunch of great stuff from them. #OsamuTezuka #手塚治虫

Remember that part in Dragon Ball Z during the Namek Saga, where Krillin and Gohan put on armor to help defend themselves? Was this like, the only time the series ever cared about armor? I don't think there's ever a point after this where characters try wearing protective stuff

Wrote like a 20(ish) minute script talking about how Youtube's Inspiration Tab is garbage, only to sit back and go "this video is just me hating on something". Not sure if I should actually make it. I mean, there's some kinda funny parts to it, but it feels merit-less

Osamu Tezuka - Captain! That's Not a Planet. It's a Prison... - 艦長！これは惑星じゃありません。囚人用の… - 1962 (as far as I know, this is some random standalone image)

Osamu Tezuka - Shinsengumi - 1963 Shinsengumi is pretty good actually. There's a bunch of great panels.

Osamu Tezuka - Brave Dan - 1962

I love people "discovering" Osamu Tezuka works were very political, cause it's like watching people find out Gundam is political. Like, ya, Tezuka wasn't subtle. It's not political subtext, it's political text.

Can Pokemon make a super-eviolite item, that super boosts stats when it's the first form of a twice evolving guy? Like, it wouldn't boost Ivysaur, but it'd make Bulbasaur really good?

Panel from 1962's Little Yokko's Here, by Osamu Tezuka

Other games try so hard to make cool unlockable skins for whatever Kirby Air Riders comes in like "uh, you have a star shaped vehicle, and some other ones. You can color them and use stickers, and share them. Have fun" And people are. #kirby #KirbyAirRiders

I'm never gonna get the sequel I really want. Or even a remaster. Any Gotcha Force fans here? #GotchaForce ? Love this game.

As much as I want modern anime and manga discourse to be more aware of and appreciate Osamu Tezuka, I do worry... I've seen internet people before. They misrepresent things all the time, or make big deals out of nothing. There'd be people both saying he was woke, and a racist.

Is there anything you could market with Kirby that doesn't work? Seriously. Clothes? Yes. Cookware? Yes. Furniture / Decorations? Yes. Weaponry? Surprisingly, yes. Somehow, even a plunger works. I'm almost sure you could make a Kirby-brand anything, and have it work. #Kirby

Remember when Dragon Ball decided to bring Frieza back for a Super movie with a new form to fight Blue Goku, and instead of giving him a cool transformation like Cooler, they just turned him gold... and then eventually black... So lame. Like, come on. He's the transform-ey guy.
