The Fall is Inevitable
*Covers my eyes*
UMMMMM
THE ONLY ANIME I WATCH RIGHT NOW (I used to watch all of the .Hack animes, and some random stuff along the side like Elfen Leid. I also watched like 5 episodes of bleach but got tired of screaming red headed girls and giant titties all over my screen.) IS NARUTO OK DON'T STAB ME
...**throws a hammer at him** Alright then! Allow me to educate you on the Godfather of Anime before I really have to hurt you.
Osamu Tezuka is...IS the Godfather of Anime! Without him, Anime probably wouldn't exist. With that being said, he was greatly influenced on Western Cartoons since During WW2, he watched them as a way to escape reality. Once he became an adult, Tezuka went to school to be a surgeon. Got his degree and everything but opted to work on Manga and Cartoons instead. In his time he made over 200 titles. Most looks like kiddy shows, and some are, yet the man knew how to create wonderful stories for adults and children. His works include but are not limited too:
Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom)
Bagi: The Mighty Monster of Nature (Which is depressing as hell and yet one of my new favorites)
Cleopatra (One of the first HEntai films ever made)
Black Jack (A very popular series even today)
Unico (Like what I mentioned Above)
Vampires
Metropolis
Pheonix
And many...MANY others. I suggest you buy some of his manga's and read them, or go onto Youtube and watch some of his films.
