An art collaboration with @aakipple !! ✨
I thought it would be fun to draw Osamu Tezuka's Gesicht with Naoki Urasawa's Gesicht. (they're besties)

Wow I mean did everyone else in this (Tezuka) fandom just... Ignore the pro colonialism theme of Kimba... or Kei from Blackjack having an incredibly transphobic backstory....
I mean literally making transition out to be something done of shame or being forced...
(I haven't even touched on Two Shuchi's, another incredibly transphobic Blackjack chapter.)
Even as a Astro Boy fan I always am hesitant when I discover a new Tezuka work I didn't know about because it's either "This is gonna be really interesting and funny or incredibly awful."
If any of you guys see this ask just... Don't come after me and read some more Tezuka stuff it's really obvious. I don't really feel like hiding behind anon.
Appreciate the support. I'm just a weird robot who grew up with 2003 Astro Boy, read Metropolis as a teenager, and then got dragged through a group read of Atom: The Beginning, a few years later tripped over the Whaley hybrids paper while doing preliminary research on what to write my paper about, and went
'Wait, fuck. Wait. Fuck. WAIT. FUCK.'
Like, the realization that Metropolis has the same exact 'hybrids bad racial mixing bad gender mixing bad' themes hit me like a fucking bus.
Edit: A large blog reblogged this and made a response that makes it clear people are misinterpreting this post. Please consider the original context, and my response.

Working on a small Pluto anime vs. manga scene order comparison for the finale, but not quite done… just like Urasawa is never done wrecking my emotional state lol. Felt like drawing though!
This week has not been the most amazing so far, but I’m hanging in! Hope you are too.
