Who is Tezuka? The god of Japanese manga is in danger of being forgotten

If the name of Osamu Tezuka is missing from the history of Japanese manga, then perhaps our anime industry today will have a completely different ending. In recognition of the merits of this "god of manga", the Takarazuka City Tezuka Osamu Memorial Hall was previously established. However, in recent years, the number of visitors to the museum has been decreasing. One of the important reasons for this is that more than 20 years after Tezuka's death, young people are becoming less and less familiar with his work. To this end, the museum has collaborated with popular anime such as "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and exhibited features of the museum's collection to overseas countries where Tezuka's works were broadcast, so as to attract visitors. So does this really work? Recently, some Japanese media conducted an exclusive interview on this. The full text is as follows:

Takarazuka gave birth to Tezuka's works

Osamu Tezuka was born in Osaka Prefecture and later moved to Takarazuka City in Hyogo Prefecture. As a teenager, he was very fond of collecting insects, and his pen name "Zhizi" came from this interest. In addition, when he was in elementary school, he often went to see Takarazuka's operas, and since then, works such as "The Rose of Versailles" have been deeply influenced by Takarazuka's style.

Tezuka made his debut as a manga artist at the age of 17 and began to publish his works in Takarazuka Graph, a special issue of Takarazuka Opera. However, in order to officially start his career as a manga artist in Tokyo, Tezuka left Takarazuka and went to Tokyo to start a new life. Of course, his marriage ceremony with Mrs. Etsuko still chose to be held at the Takarazuka Hotel. In addition, Tezuka's later work "Three Rudolfo" ("アドルフに告ぐ") shows that the murder incident that takes place in "Kohama Village" (the predecessor of Takarazuka City) is the first place to take place, which also gives a glimpse of his deep friendship with this place.

Decrease in visitors

In the first year of Heisei (1989), Osamu Tezuka passed away. To commemorate his outstanding achievements, Takarazuka City planned the construction of a venue. With the support of Studio Tezuka, it was finally decided to build a memorial. The design of the building was personally handled by Tezuka's eldest son, Tezuka, and Mrs. Etsuko served as the honorary director. The memorial was officially opened on 25 December 1994.

There are about 500 first-edition works in the tube, including debut works, and more than 1,000 items such as berets and glasses, as well as drafts of manga and anime storyboards. After the opening of the museum, fans of Tezuka came to visit the venue one after another. Although the museum was closed from January 17, 1995 ~ the end of February 1995 due to the Great Hanshin Earthquake, about 540,000 visitors still visited the museum over the course of a year.

However, after about seven years, the number of visitors per year has dropped to about 280,000, and the number of visitors is decreasing year by year. In 2014, the 10th anniversary of the museum's opening, the number fell to 140,000, a quarter of the number in the first year. After another five years, the number fell again to more than 80,000, and the decline has not slowed down.

Takeshi Maekawa, the director of the museum, explains, "In the beginning, fans thought there were valuable items in the collection, so they came here. However, today, those who used to be friends with Tezuka can enjoy the work at home, and feel that it is enough. ”

As Tezuka's death has been going on for a long time, many people who were born later are completely unaware that Tezuka's works have been serialized in magazines and other platforms, and they will no longer feel close to Tezuka's works.

In order to overcome this crisis, the memorial began to actively tap into a new Tezuka fan base.

Win new visitors

First of all, they set their sights on overseas fans. Since Astro Boy has been broadcast in the United States, Chinese mainland, Taiwan, South Korea and other countries and regions, the museum has partnered with local travel agencies to promote Tezuka manga and the memorial to visitors.

Since September 2010, the museum has been distributing translated brochures in English, Chinese, and Korean to visitors from overseas. Recently, there has been an increase in the frequency of some touring exhibitions, and more than 10,000 copies of the translated brochure are now distributed every year.

In addition, the museum is actively cooperating with other anime works in Japan. Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, is a city adjacent to Takarazuka City, and the "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" series is set in this place. In 2011, Ito Murmur, a local illustrator who was in charge of illustrating his works, held a special exhibition in collaboration with Tezuka's works. In addition, many Tezuka works drawn by Ito Murmur are exhibited.

Then, in 2012, Tezuka's works were exhibited in collaboration with the popular anime Evangelion. The official attempt was made to find the common ground with EVA from Japan's first anime, Astro Boy, and to introduce the ins and outs of popular anime to the audience, so as to promote Tezuka's works. The project was very successful, and many EVA fans also came to visit the Osamu Tezuka Memorial Museum.

In addition, the memorial hall has held special exhibitions in collaboration with the popular anime "Macross Fortress" and the women-oriented game brand "Otomate".

Since FY2012, about 112,000 people have visited the venue, the number of visitors exceeded 100,000 for the first time in four years, and in 2013, it also reached about 105,000.

From October 31, 2014, a new event will be held. Rock singer Kiyoshiro Kino (deceased) will meet visitors with their special exhibition "Kiyoshiro Kino Exhibition ~The Genetic Factors of Osamu Tezuka's Humor~". Kiyoshiro Kino is a fan of Tezuka's works and used to draw manga as a child. Among the contents of his paintings are characters from Tezuka's works such as Black Jack, and Kiyoshiro's stage performance costumes are also displayed in front of everyone. This unique form of cooperation has once again sparked a lot of conversation.

In this regard, Director Maekawa said, "Tezuka has had an impact on a wide range of people. We hope that through various special exhibitions, we will let people realize that this is a person who bears the burden of the development of Japanese culture, and that we will increase the number of Tezuka fans. ”

Kill the teacher big introduction! The latest PV of "Assassination Classroom" was announced

The comic adaptation of the same name of "Weekly Shonen Jump", which will be broadcast in January 2015, "Assassination Classroom", has recently officially launched a 36-second long PV. The style of PV is very interesting, and the image of killing the teacher is very clearly displayed in front of everyone. As for the lines that seem a little rough, many netizens said that they can associate some animation works in the past. This is a relatively rare exception in the current era of digital animation.

At the same time, the PV also introduced information about the TV station that started the work, the production staff, and the massive voice actor lineup. As the start date approaches, you can also look forward to the final product!

In "Assassination Classroom", the "Killing Teacher", known as the most vicious existence in history, blew up seventy percent of the moon and claimed that he would aim at the earth. But such a terrifying storage zài is somehow serving as a teacher in the 3rd year E class of Chunqiu Middle School. Therefore, the leaders of the world from all over the world entrusted the students of this class with the task of eliminating this threat, hoping to kill the teacher within a year, and if the mission was successful, the students would receive a staggering reward of 10 billion yen (later changed to 10 billion yen for individuals and 30 billion yen for groups). Therefore, everyone racked their brains to find a way to kill the teacher, and this campus + weird + funny story also unfolded. At the same time, the animated version invited well-known figures in the industry such as Seiji Kishi, Kazuaki Morita, and Makoto Kamie Zhou to participate in the production, which made many people feel at ease about the quality of the work.

Last week, the cult of the cult on the animation disc sales list fell below 40,000 at the beginning

This is followed by the disc sales list. So first of all, the most concerned believe that it must be the cult "LoveLive! 》How is the latest volume of BD selling, but according to the statistics of the number of O lists, the initial sales of LL volume 5 are only 38,997 copies, compared to the initial sales of 41,000 copies per volume when volumes 2-4 are used, the initial sales of volume 5 are not particularly satisfactory. Of course, with the passage of time, the craze is bound to cool down gradually, so let's look forward to the stamina! In terms of DVD, "Monster Watch" DVD-BOX1 won the championship without any suspense, and the initial score of 26,645 copies is really a satisfactory answer. In addition, there are quite a lot of new works on the list this week, and the overall sales are more substantial than last week, and there are not a few highlights.

In terms of light novels, "Confession to the Picture Book of Practicing First Love" won the championship with more than 16,000 copies, followed by "The Journey of the Plug-in Pharmacist to a Different World", "NextLife", etc., compared with last week, this week's light novel list is slightly flat. Finally, there is the list of non-library books, LoveLive's new issue "LoveLive! Schoolidoldiary ~ Autumn no Gakuen Festival? ~" won the championship with 17,000 copies. Overall, there are not many highlights on this week's book list, and although there are more new works on the list than last week, they lack dark horse-like works. It is worth mentioning that "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park", which has been brushing the list in the past few weeks, has completely dropped off the list this week, while "The Seven Deadly Sins" is still strong.

The "Digimon Adventure" series, which was previously announced to be a new story, can be said to be one of the most anticipated titles of 2015. The official announcement of the silhouettes of Taichi Yagami and Ka'er Yagami (Hikari) made many people wonder if there would be no other "chosen children" this time. However, this idea has been confirmed to be unlikely: according to the latest news, all 8 protagonists of the generation have been revealed!

Although it is only a silhouette, an attentive viewer should be able to tell the characters from left to right: Joto Takeshi, Takeshi Takaishi, Yoshiko Yagami, Taichi Yagami, Yamato Ishida, Sona Takeuchi (Sora), Mitsuko Izumi, and Mimi Taitogawa. Among them, Awu, Ahe, Suna and Mitsukoro's hairstyles don't seem to have changed much, and compared with the long-haired Joto Zhang, who was known as the second generation of black history, he seems to have cut his hair neatly and neatly. In addition, Meimei appeared as a female man, and I am afraid that her American career will still bring more changes to her......

But with all 8 people confirmed to appear, many netizens also expressed their opinions: "Can the story of the second generation be erased? Can you start a story all over again? "Taiyi still has to face the affection and love of Ah and Suna? This is really 'courage'! "Don't the protagonists of the second generation appear?" "Kneel and beg for a new sister to Taiyi" and "Brother and sister are the king...... it seems that with every exposure of the silhouette, it can arouse heated discussions among countless netizens. The influence of the original Digimon can also be seen. As for more reports about this new work, Tencent Animation will also continue to pay attention.

The lineup is blinding! Details of the third season of "His Royal Highness the Prince of Songs".

Once upon a time, when mentioning new anime, people often thought of a glasses otaku staring at the screen and drooling. However, as more and more women are now involved in the otaku world, women's works are also bursting with strong vitality. Among them, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Songs" is an outstanding representative. The biggest selling point of this work is the gorgeous character design and the voice actor lineup that makes people feel pregnant. Recently, it was officially announced that the third season of this work will be broadcast from April 2015.

At the same time, the official also revealed the list of main producers and voice actors of the third season. Among them, the director is played by Shin Hoshino, Tomoko Kaneharu is responsible for the composition of the series, and Mitsue Mori is still the best choice for the design. The voice actor list will continue to follow the lineup from the previous two seasons, including Miyuki Sawajo, Takudu Terashima, Kenichi Suzumura, Noriaki Taniyama, Mamoru Miyano, Junichi Suwabe, Hiroshi Shimono, and Kosuke Torikai will continue to star.

It's Matsuoka again! Details of the "Spirit of the Halberd" anime have been announced

It was previously announced that it would be adapted into a TV animation of the "Weekly Shonen Jump" serialized work "Halberd Spirit", and the voice actor and main production personnel of the protagonist Kohei Soma were officially announced.

Among them, Kohei Soma will be voiced by Matsuoka Zhencheng, who is currently very popular. Matsuoka, as a male voice actor with a high exposure rate at present, has previously brought us super popular works such as "God's Notepad" (Fujishima Narumi Service), "Sword Art Online" (Kirito / Kiritani Kazuto), "Sakuraso's Pet Girl" (Kanda Kuta Service), "Game Life" (Air Service) and other super popular works. And although it is not yet 2015, he has already confirmed that he will appear in new animations such as "The Cultivation of Humble Heroines" (An Yilun Yasu), "Absolute Double Blade" (Jiue Penetration), and "Is Seeking an Encounter in a Dungeon Is Something Wrong" (Bell Krone). Matsuoka's voice always gives people a feeling of "handsomeness with a bit of ** breath", and perhaps heterophobia also plays a big role in it. He has a very good relationship with Shimazaki Nobunaga and others in the industry, and the beautiful voice actress Ai Chino is also one of the very few people of the opposite sex who can maintain an intimate relationship with him.

In terms of production personnel, the director of this work will be Conscience Yoneya. Speaking of Yonetani's conscience, I'm afraid that friends who love "Doraemon" will definitely not feel strange. Since 1995, he has been in charge of a series of animations including "Doraemon and Doraemon Seven Boys' Machine Qì People School Seven Unthinkable", "Doraemon Seven Boys' Bug Battle", "Doraemon Seven Boys and Dim Sum Nana Kingdom" and other series of animations. In addition, he directed classics with completely different styles such as "The Brave King", "Deep Blue Rescue", and "Evolution War". However, since 2008's "Love Mary in the Sea of Stars", he has not had a new work come out, and this time he will come out again, I don't know what kind of surprise it will bring to all of us.

The person who is part of the series is determined to be ヤスカワショウゴ。 The animator has previously worked on scripts for popular productions such as "Boom", "Zero's Demon", and "Scarlet Aria". And in "Super Dimensional Wars Fighter Girl" for the first time as a series composition. Subsequently, he wrote in "The Invaders of the Three Tsubi Rooms!? "The Will of Silver" and other works have a good table xiàn.

The person in charge is Tomoyuki Shiotani. The characteristics of his painting are: he can depict the expressions of the characters in delicate movements, and vividly show the emotional ups and downs of girls. As early as 1999, in "Earth Defense Enterprise", he was already in charge of concept painting. Later, he also established enough prestige for himself in works such as "Matsuki Tan Yuehime", "Delusional Agent", "Naruto", "Dragon and Tiger", and "Super Electromagnetic Cannon of Science".

The sound director was chosen by Hitoshi Akita Kawa. At 42 years old this year, he can be said to be an excellent representative of his son's inheritance of his father's business (Shin Akita Kawa is also a sound director). He has held this position since 2003 with "Mazuki Tan Yuehime", and since then he has been responsible for a large number of productions including "Diary of a Crazy Family", "Blue Flower", "The Betrayal That Can't Be Escaped", and "Sherlock Holmes the Detective Opera Girl". And the fact that these works can be so highly praised is also inseparable from the efforts of Akita Kawahito.

Tatsu Kato is also in charge of the music production of this work. He has been involved in the musical production of anime since 2006's "Black Knight", and the musical effects of works such as "Hundred Flowers SAMURAIGIRLS", "Fate/kaleidliner Magical Girl ☆ Illya", and "World Conquest Strategy Star" are also obvious to all.

If there is any common characteristic of the above-mentioned people, then perhaps "almost all of them participated in the production of J.C.STAFF" should be one of the answers. SO NATURALLY, J.C. STAFF WILL ALSO BE IN CHARGE OF THE ANIMATION THIS TIME. Whether it is "Burning Eye Xana", "Catalogue of Forbidden Books", "**Prince and the Non-Laughing Cat" or this year's "Witch's Mission", "Cultivation Witch Lulu Meng" and so on have been widely acclaimed. In addition, the current broadcast date has not been determined, "Is Seeking an Encounter in the Dungeon Is Something Wrong" is also from them.

The stage of "Halberd Spirit" is a cooking school in Tokyo, "Engetsu Gakuen". It is also a well-known culinary school. And the protagonist of the story, Kohei Sojina, has been here since graduating from junior high school.,In order to inherit the family business, he came here at his father's instructions.,And study as a special student.。 At the same time, in the "Enzuki Gakuen", students will have a one-on-one duel with guò cuisine, and defeat their opponents with their own cuisine, and this duel is called "food halberd".
