Frasi di Osamu Tezuka
Osamu Tezuka
Data di nascita: 3. Novembre 1928
Data di morte: 9. Febbraio 1989
Osamu Tezuka è stato un fumettista e regista giapponese. La sua prolificità e le sue tecniche e generi pionieristici gli sono valsi i soprannomi di "padre dei manga" o addirittura "dio dei manga" .
Uno dei tratti distintivi dell'animazione giapponese, gli "occhioni", furono inventati da Tezuka, che si basò su cartoni animati dell'epoca come Betty Boop di Max Fleischer e Topolino di Walt Disney. Per avere un'idea della sua produttività, la raccolta Complete Manga Works of Tezuka Osamu comprende oltre 400 volumi e più di 80.000 pagine, tuttavia la sua produzione completa è stimata comprendere oltre 700 storie e un totale di circa 170.000 tavole.
Considerato spesso il più importante fumettista e animatore giapponese della storia, è riconosciuto come il padre dello "story manga". Ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel campo dell'animazione giapponese, contribuendo profondamente a popolarizzarla, fondando nel 1961 lo storico studio Mushi Production e producendo la prima vera e propria serie anime della storia, Astro Boy del 1963.

„I feel there is sensuality... eroticism in the primary things that move, like animals and insects. Being able to inspire the movement to still images... gives me the joy of the creator that breathes life into things that do not have life. The movement must be sufficiently round and sweet... so express its eroticism. In creating cartoons I always think of an ideal, but... half the finish to doubt the rightness of what I'm doing. So I put all my expectations always work next. * * [... ] I often say jokingly that comics are my true wife and that the cartoons are my lover. The fact that I am fully dedicated to animation, my lover... is because it allows me to express in a sublime... the interesting metamorphosis of a changing body. For me, the greatest fun, no doubt, lies in the draw and give movement to change processes. Always look in my cartons this metamorphosis.“

„The new readers have mentality, fashions, feelings completely different from those of previous readers. Should I draw comics following my first readers in their growth? Or should I stop doing the cartoonist?... More or less every three years a cartoonist for children is cornered. I, too, every three years, living a crisis. So I decide and I get back to work for my new readers as if they were the first.... This is why I am certain that the good work that will draw able to make happy readers of all time.“

„I conceived this story [ MW ] with the intention of presenting readers a picaresque drama that distort the traditional atmosphere of my stories leave them stunned.
I wish that all the ills of society - conformism, laziness, indolence, betrayal, violence, lust, rape - and especially the evils of politics will be represented in the form of an absolute depravity.
Now I feel a great regret. My style inadequate forces me to complete the work without being able...“

„The science fiction and manga readers had the same... Most fiction writers then had had some experience in the comic and some of it had even been absorbed completely... I can not understand why those who love science fiction also loves the manga and vice versa. There are two kinds characterized by a biting satire and at worst are called "extravagant".... Both are aimed toward the future, and therefore contain romantic adventures for young people.“

„The children face problems such as violence, abuse, suicide etc. that medicine can not heal. It will never help these children psychologically and be his support...? Even when they are in difficulty, in principle they do not speak with adults, or confide about their true intentions. However, expect some serious messages from adults. I will continue to send messages through manga. Children avoid them what force or what they want to impose anything. That is why I will continue to look for those things that [... ] inspire their hearts.“
