Description

He is often referred to as the "God of Manga" and the "Father of Anime", Osamu Tezuka was a pioneering Japanese manga artist, animator, and film producer. His work laid the foundation for modern manga and anime, influencing countless creators and shaping the industry as it is known today. Tezuka founded Mushi Production, one of the first anime studios in Japan, where he produced the first Japanese TV anime series, Astro Boy in 1963. This show was a significant milestone in anime history, both for its success and for establishing the practice of limited animation, which became a standard in the industry. A lifelong anime aficionado, Rachel Costello, from UC San Diego’s Innovating for National Security Academic Program, gives a retrospective on the life and work for Tezuka. Her passion led her to spearhead the U.S. Navy’s “Sea Strike 2041” comic project as executive producer. Series: "Arts Channel " [Arts and Music] [Show ID: 40089]
