Osamu Tezuka should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to read manga.
You have read his works, right Zig Forums?

I have read Black Jack, Phoenix, and Buddha. Some chapters of Black Jack in particular move me to tear, things that just a handful of manga can do.

Kimba made me see The Lion King in a completely different way. Astro Boy is the starter pack for manga lovers. Dororo’s old adaptation is better than the new one.

I have no idea where to even start looking for his work that would be in eligible quality

>should be mandatory
Nah, people should read what they want, don't be a pretentious fuck. Personally, I tried like half a dozen of his and don't think I finished any of them.

Buddha was superb, I also recomend "Ode to Kirihito" it's slept on but the pacing and plot are phenomenal as well. Perfect for all the wannabe furries or just people interested in a good protagonist.

Totally agree on this front regarding mandatory reading but there's a way to not gate keep anime/manga too. Imagine if someone said "in order to truly appreciate the marvel that is current western animation one must fully watch the earliest disney productions (steamboat willie and original Pluto?).

It would help creators and consumers avoid "reinventing the wheel" regarding product and content but at the cost of homogenizing a pointedly individualistic medium. Anime is supposed to kick off from different points and if everyone has the same intro or experience consumers and creators alike lose the individual aspect anime tries to highlight via a gatekeeping ritual lol.

Plus Tezuka probably would be against any mandatory reading as anything other than a suggested list of starting points to introduce to the medium rather than as a gate to prevent normies from commercialization/bandwagon hopping

Yeah. Quality is really variable. There's lots of cheesy stuff, combined with touches of genius, great ideas and wasted ones. If he wanted to try something new he tried it and if he was tired of it after some chapters then he just left it and tried something else.
Sometimes even his most serious works have silly things and his most silly works have serious things. You can read something praised like Adolf and notice it's mostly dumb as fuck, but it doesn't matter.
He was an absolute stajanovist who preffered to deliver his genius through quantity over quality to explore all genres more than making a perfect work. Also a fucking furry.

Read Dororo and I was surprised when I watched the anime how different the overall tone was.

The closest I got to his works was pluto and watching dororo. I am willing to read buddha, after reading the other posters, sounds interesting.

Is there anything similar to Tezuka's Star System?

he's one of the goats but i guess you¿re overestimating him in the same way miyazaki to give an example

Does watching the shitty dub of Princess Knight done by random gaijins off the Tokyo streets count?

i only read Ode to Kirihito, it surprised me how much it influenced Monster

I've read some of his work. He's a really cool cartoonist, but I find it hard to get emotionally invested in his stories.

osamu tezuka has invented pedophilia

He's not that good.

>Dororo’s old adaptation is better than the new one.
Couldn't disagree more, OG Dororo in general is a bit of a mess due to the clashing aesthetic and tone. It wants to be edgy while also having cartoonish antics happen every other panel. The new adaptation is at least consistent in what it sets out to do.

Internet Archive has Astro Boy, Back Jack, and Buddha.

Pirate official sources dumb dumb

LOL

Fuck off. He is a racist and his kiddie trash sucks. He just steals ideas from the west and spuns a shitty story around it.

Nothing is mandatory you autistic nigger. Don't read something and then make threads trying to shit on people because they haven't read it yet. You are nobody. You will die a nobody.

Man, this whole "lion king stole from kimba" lie peddled by tezukafags just shows how retarded, dishonest and blind tezukacucks are.

>normies
I'm shocked how many people say normies here and don't get told to go back nowadays.

Because no one fucking cares and you are trying a bit too hard to fit in, dumb fuck.

>He is a racist
Picked up

>2 hours
Give me the gist of it.

Use 2x

based unashamed literal redditor dabbing on people who care about the quality of the board.

I think I may be getting plebfiltered as we speak

Oh no he used "normie" instead of "normalfag" and now the board quality is hitting unprecedented lows
