Since then he's always been referred as the sole and real creator of Doraemon. So Fujiko.F.Fujio is not a group, it's a penname for a single artist. <br /><br />Mooto Abiko penname is Fujiko.Fujio (A)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877018852585709269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695459040215715199.post-75511180981520996742013-05-07T00:31:13.351-04:002013-05-07T00:31:13.351-04:00Gotta agree that Rumiko Takahashi should be on the...Gotta agree that Rumiko Takahashi should be on the list; and Go Nagai's Devilman was certainly ahead of its time. Takehiko should be on the list though; if you're talking about influence. He might not have produced the best sports manga in all history, but he certainly played a huge part in boosting the popularity of basketball in Japan. Heck; there are NBA players from China who said they started playing basketball due to the manga. That's gotta count for something.<br /><br />Having said that, what do you think about Hiromu Arakawa's "Fullmetal Alchemist" series? Or more importantly, Rakuten Kitazawa? I know most people don't know who the heck he is; but he's considered THE founding father of modern manga by many historians; and the first professional mangaka EVER. He was actually an influence for Osamu Tezuka; and trained many of his successors before he retired, which ensured continuity. No one might read his works anymore, but without him, we might not even have manga in the first place. If this list is supposed to be one of influence and importance in contribution to the manga industry, then he'd certainly deserve a place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695459040215715199.post-54849972042850777492013-02-28T15:33:37.327-05:002013-02-28T15:33:37.327-05:00Naruto and Bleach, you mean those endless droning ...Naruto and Bleach, you mean those endless droning mainstream series that are only continued at this point for the sake of sustained profit margins?

Shinji Mizushima is historically the most important person in that aspect, but he is not famous in the West.<br /><br />Regarding Miyazaki, I think that Nausicaa the anime is way more influential than Nausicaa the manga. I heard many people, some of them Japanese, praising the manga, but I have never heard of any manga artist influenced directly by it. Even Daisuke Igarashi, who is a Miyazaki fan, mentioned Totoro as his greatest influence.<br /><br />But Go Nagai changed manga history... several times. With Harenchi Gakuen, with Mazinger Z, with Devilman. The glory of Devilman is so great that it was given an official tribute (in contrast to dojinshi) by other artists in the form of Neo-Devilman, and that is a rarity in the world of manga. Without Devilman, there would be no Hokuto no Ken, no Berserk, even no CLAMP's X as we know them today.ridiculushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091643724255601566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695459040215715199.post-7753190744332056122010-08-03T11:09:08.110-04:002010-08-03T11:09:08.110-04:00I agree with the last statement there. Influence ...I agree with the last statement there. Influence is something that cannot be witnessed by the naked eye, nor does popularity equate to influence. Eiichiro Oda may have created the biggest-selling manga last year (One Piece), but I debate that influence stems out of sales.<br /><br />I was wary of Ikeda over Hagio, but plopping one in over the other is difficult. Still, Year 24 needs to occupy a space, whether it be by an individual or the entire group.<br /><br />Miyazaki...yeah, it's a tough one. Go Nagai could easily have this spot. I won't cave, however, as I still think that Nausicaa is more influential than any single Go Nagai work. Preference and opinion, not fact.<br /><br />I can't defend Inoue that well, but I do think Slam Dunk is a decent representative of sports manga. Maybe not the apex, I suppose.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385629483209026981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4695459040215715199.post-3083375629405274332010-08-02T17:13:52.597-04:002010-08-02T17:13:52.597-04:00What is Miyazaki doing on the list?
And Moto Hagi...What is Miyazaki doing on the list?<br /><br />And Moto Hagio, not Riyoko Ikeda is THE representative of the Year 24 Group. But without Shotaro Ishinomori, every list is a half-joke.<br /><br />Takehiko Inoue can't be above Go Nagai even in the last stage of madness, except in the case the "influence" is measured by the number of books sold.<br /><br />Influence is not something that can be voted by the general public. It is just ridiculous. ;)ridiculushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091643724255601566noreply@blogger.com
