Have we ever had a Jiro Kuwata thread?

Y'Know, Jiro Kuwata, the guy who did 8-Man, Maboroshi Tantei, that Batman manga...



Anybody?

>>>/a/

If toku is /m/, if Gerry Anderson stuff is /m/, if Tatsunoko's 70's superhero shows are /m/, then Kuwata is /m/ too.

He's ultra obscure among the English fandom. Yes oldfags have a passing familiarity with 8-man, but that's it. I wish you luck in cultivating discussion.

more /m/ than symponiggear

I've glanced at the old b/w 8 Man anime, caught the 90s live action, and I think I've seen a page or two of his Bat-Manga

seems interesting enough

Sorry anon, too hipster-y for me.

reading up his wikipedia page was interesting. How much jail time did he got from buying a gun he intended to use for an-heroing?

POP EYE what a fucking legend

Whoops uploaded the wrong image

Super Jetter wasn't created by Kuwata, but I remember reading on Japanese Wikipedia that it was created by TCJ/Eiken because when they sold 8-Man overseas, they didn't understand the contracts &amp; thus accidentally sold the overseas merchandising rights with it, &amp; they were afraid that would cause trouble with Hirai &amp; Kuwata, so they created Super Jetter themselves to lessen that blow if it ever happened again.

Interesting, if not audibly autistic, video on the OG 8-Man anime.

Which btw if you’re also autistic enough to wanna watch a 60's anime dub, particularly without the abysmal "remasters" on YouTube,
