More Tezuka & Forgotten 1960's Anime
Tumblr media
That's Princess Knight, Tezuka's original gender fluid protagonist from the 1967 animated series (based on his manga). Even the title was confusing as the character was known as PRINCE Knight through the episodes!
I thought I'd follow up my Amazing 3/Wonder 3 post with some of my experiences watching some of the classic anime of the day.
I was born in England, but spent a lot of my childhood, and teens in Melbourne Australia. The one advantage of this (and yes, for me it was the only one :) is that there were FOUR TV channels in Australia compared with just two in England. Plus, Australian TV started at 6AM in the morning, whereas British TV didn't actually start broadcasting until late afternoon!
All this early morning airtime meant that there was a need for product, and to my delight Australia happily filled it with any Japanese animated (and some live action) series it could get a hold of. I didn't care at all about the animation back then: It was the designs and storylines that really stood out. My favourites were the Tezuka shows...Astro Boy, Amazing 3, Princess Knight, Kimba The White Lion...but there were others from different studios that had their merits. One was Prince Planet. Look at these designs...

There is a great blog here about the series and another one from a fan perspective here that tells of the zaniness that ran through the series.
Prince Planet's villains were great, especially the Loki-esque Warlock (He of the crooked smile, first pic above).
Another was Space Ace...

Again, the designs were unlike anything I had seen at the time.
There were others: Marine Boy, Speed Racer, Gigantor - all dubbed into shouty American voices that always seemed to have the emphasis on the wrong parts of the sentence :D
Sadly the one we didn't get to see was Tezuka's original Dororo (1969) which was based on his amazing manga. Again, it contained a gender fluid titular character amongst other themes. The complete manga is widely available now, and I really recommend it. Personally I avoid any subsequent newer versions of this classic.
Tumblr media
I'll be honest: Even though a lot of it is technically brilliant, I'm not really inspired by too much animation these days, and CGI just leaves me cold. I am though, being energized by looking back at some of my original inspirations and trying to incorporate some of this in my current project.

Tezuka's 'Wonder 3' (aka 'The Amazing Three')
Going back to my original inspirations in drawing has led me to the great Osamu Tezuka. My favorite anime of his was Wonder 3 (Amazing 3 in English). I never ever want to see this except in glorious black and white.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stylish, funny, original storylines (the heroes actually become antagonists for the two part climatic finale) and a story arc with a bittersweet ending (ALL of Tezuka's anime series from Astro Boy to Princess Knight had actual series endings!), I loved this series to bits.

[Astarion] is a cat. He's a black cat. There's a stray that comes into my house called Red... and he's quite feral. It took me three years before I could pick him up and hold him. He's totally cool with me now. Three fucking years. He gave me a lot of inspiration about Astarion.
- Neil Newbon, on developing Astarion's physicality and mannerisms
