    Blaming Tezuka for whst happens today is ridiculous. When Tezuka started back in the 50s~60s everyone was working day in and day out for minimum wage in Japan. Then they went through an economic boom in the 1980s followed by a bubble burst after which Japanese exports to the US fell to a record low and the whole chain of production took a massive blow and this is on top of the advancements on computer animation since the mid 90s that has made deadlines even shorter for significally higher quality so its not the same business it once was.

      Thank you for watching. I agree. The Anime Production Committee is responsible for funding so many of the anime we watch, yet, they choose not to give more money to animators and instead, take the profits for themselves.

      Mushipro straight up paid its staff better than basically any other studio at the time. The concept of tezuka's curse is basically propaganda, not the actual history of the industry lol

    I wouldn't Blame him Entirely, but he made it difficult for Animators to Earn a reasonable living in such a Big Industry

      Thanks for watching. Yeah, I wonder what the animation world in Japan would be like if he had let Toei Douga do a 30 minute anime a season.

    As someone who is a big fan Tezuka, I was expecting this video to be some unfair clickbait hit piece on guy a who's been dead for years. But honestly, this video is a good explaination and summary on the industry. Even though he revolutionized and created the anime industry, Tezuka really did unintentionally ruin it for everyone else in the long run. Good video.

      Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! Yeah, I learned about the "Tezuka Curse" discourse among English speaking fans, and I wanted to see if people in Japan felt the same way (turns out some, including Director Hayao Miyazaki do) which led me to learning more about the anime and manga industry. While Tezuka unintentionalally started a precedent, the people at the top (advertisement companies etc) are the ones keeping it that way.

    I think what the industry has forgotten to recognize that Tezuka is literally the exception. Just because he seemingly can do the weekly manga schedule doesn’t mean everyone should. Heck, even the weekly schedule took a toll on Tezuka as well: he literally died begging a nurse to not take away his work.

  • @pedrolazarovieirasilva1609

    This is really sad to know a work so important like animation has so low on the animators, and its not even Japan, i wish the industry treated them better, both drawn and CGI animators

      I agree. It's sad knowing these industries make billions of dollars, but the payout for the hardest workers is so low.

    I was really lucky to find this video, it's quality it's at the same level (if not better) as that of much larger channels
    Keep up the amazing work! You earned a new sub, looking up to see you grow on this platform

    You can't blame him. Tezuka wasn't known for being a good business man. So its harsh to blame him when he was an artist who did what he did with the very little he had.

    The Shuho Sato quote seems quite fitting for this situation. Honestly, I really don't know where to start. The problem with looking at the anime industry (not manga. I think they're doing relatively better) is that there is an extremely elaborate system in place; that you don't even know how things will turn out if you just turn one dial. You may just have to re-do everything from the start with human well-being and prosperity as a focus, while you re-build it again.

      I hope for a better tomorrow for animators in Japan. They deserve better wages for what they do. As well as more balance in their life.

    This isnt only in anime industry in Japan, many western industry use cheap labor in 3rd world too. Take a look on Marvel movie which use outsource CGI artist to make more movie in short time with low budget.

    Fair to say, Tezuka was screwed over by fellow higher ups too.

    great video! It clears up why japanese people get paid low for animation.

    The low wages isn't much different than what America was doing during the 50's and 60's. They were also producing TV cartoons very cheap for like $3000 per episode.

    Basically, he was just so good that his fellow boomers demanded animators, as well as future ones, to be like him.
    And by "so good," I meant not only good at his craft but was especially good for business because of his willingness to work for dirt cheap.
    So Tezuka is not entirely to blame, but those who got too greedy as they exploit their country's resistance to change because HARMony..... (ironic for a country who is considered to be more moral and based than the West)
