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.

Say what you want about Osamu Tezuka, Go Nagai, numerous other famous old manga authors... Their stuff is more interesting and original than all the generic isekai slop these days. Or whatever the next trend is. To break free from trends, you need to look back #anime #manga

You ever see people be like "this is where the Souls games started", and they hold up Dark Souls? I'm not even going to go into King's Field, but are we actually just gonna ignore Demon's Souls?

I'm wondering if there's a word for this feeling. Maybe someone will know? You ever see people present a philosophical quote or a book or something to help their argument, and you just wonder "well, who cares what that guy said. maybe they were an idiot. What do you say?"

I've seen enough people be disappointed by Pokemon evolutions, that I feel like there should be a game where your little guys start out ugly, and then get cuter as they evolve. Wooloo is already perfect. He doesn't need to evolve.

So, I wanted to looks up what people frequently put as Osamu Tezuka's top works for reasons, and look... Google AI Overview used my Youtube thumbnail. I don't know whether to be flattered or not. They also pixelated i so much I'd almost call it defamatory #google #youtube

Weird thought, but you know how Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix is written so it's parts are basically standalone? You know how it's sorta the same thing with Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. If Phoenix got a full modern adaptation, do you think there would be part skippers? #anime #manga

Alright. I'm gonna say it. Gundam is not hard to get into. You watch the original 0079 compilation films, and then you can watch like 90% of the franchise with full context no problem. It's easy. It's not confusing. #anime #manga #gundam

Tech people trying to convince software developers to use AI to program will never stop being funny to me. If there's one thing devs hate, it's code they didn't write themselves. Second is code they did write. An AI they'd have to code review? Get out. #artificialintelligence

That feeling of wanting to try Balatro, cause you hear it's really good, but also knowing people compare it to drugs, and you don't want to suddenly be completely unproductive for 2-3 weeks.

I think I've grown to compare Osamu Tezuka a lot with William Shakespeare. Both are considered super important and foundational creators for their mediums... and yet people can only name a small handful of their works, if they've even seen them. Or maybe I'm just dumb.

Testing with the Youtube shorts again. Current theory is that the algorithm has like a 8-10 hours delay, and them suddenly remembers it was supposed to show people the video.

Being Canadian, I love people learning about the existence of Newfie English. They think it's all English and French, but then we throw that curveball at them.

I should just make "10 things you didn't know about" video on Astro Boy, Kimba, Black Jack, or other Tezuka properties. It feels like such lazy and low-hanging fruit, but I know they would probably get more attention.

I haven't watched any of the new Hazbin Hotel season, but it looks like I was right in that it would start some weird controversy on the internet.

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

Is there a dodgeball anime / manga? Either there isn't, and that's a crime, or there is and I don't know about it. It would make the perfect sports series. Different dodgeball tech. Different dodgeball types.

So, for those who are interested in my Sword of Moonlight videos, I have a thought. Would it maybe be interesting to separate the finished and unfinished works? Make a video for all the unfinished games, and get them all out of the way?

So I finally got around to playing Bayonetta 3.... they weren't kidding, the writing really is bad.

You know, a short video idea I've had is "How to get into Osamu Tezuka", but it kinda sucks when I have to go "you should read this, but it either has no official release or sometimes no fan translation". I think it would be a useful short vid for some people, but I'm not sure

That Warhammer 40k version of Vampire Survivors (yay) better have Sly Marbo, and he better be the best character ever.

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

Genuine question, not trying to be elitist or something. What big figures in the Youtube anime and manga community have actually made videos about or relating to Osamu Tezuka? I don't really follow Anitube or Mangatube, or whatever people call it. #anime #manga #YouTube

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. #SonicTheHedgehog

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?

In light of Osamu Tezuka's birthday, here's 10 less-mentioned facts to inspire some people to look into the guy. If you consider yourself a fan of anime and manga but don't know much about Tezuka, I encourage you to learn about him. #anime #manga #OsamuTezuka #AstroBoy
