Rest in peace, Mizuki Shigeru
>>134151695
Why so many deaths lately?
>>134151794
A lot of them have just been ancient.
>>134151794
Japanese winters don't mess around.
Frankly I'm surprised he lasted this long. Look at him. He still drew manga at his age.
>>134151695
Fuck, I love Kitaro and I recently read the 3 volumes of Showa: history of japan, and bought NonNonBa not too long ago. He had a tough life, but was destined for manga.
He will get to go explore the afterlife now though, so that is pretty awesome
>>134151950
Goddamn, he was 93. Never lost his mind.
Where dat nigga's arm at
>>134152219
Papua, lost it during the WWII
>>134152219
We liberated it.
Oh and I had just watched the movie about his wife, rip.
but his age was 97.
RIP mizuki sensei.
RIP, Yokai Prince
>>134152260
Why would Japan chop a Japanese man's arm off in the war?

Haven't read his stuff yet, but I've seen it at my LCS. Which is better, Showa or Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths?
Guys to respect Mizuki we should read his favorite book.

The whole "Americans are obese pieces of shit" doesn't work when you're talking about ninety-year-olds, anon. McDonald's wasn't our national food in 1950.
rip in peace
>>134152677
I'm just saying Japanese people tend to have better diets than Americans. It's been proven that it contributes to their longevity.
is it safe to say koume is inspired on kitarou's design?
anyway, RIP to one of the pioneers
>>134152677

He was Tezuka's senpai.

Im sure he's enjoying Honorary Aryan Heaven leading the youkai in their fight against the merchants on the ethereal plane.
>>134152853
he looked better with glasses on, may he rest in peace
so many /a/-related deaths lately
>>134152913
That's not Mizuki Shigeru you donut.
>>134152726
A shitload of characters today are influenced by Kitaro.
>more dead people
Come on 2015, die already.
;_;7
Did he actually finish his latest autobiographical work? I thought it was finished and then I thought it might have been continued.
>>134152377
Well he outlived Tezuka and others by the mere fact he got his proper sleep. He probably called them fools for shortening their lives like that, although the fact that Tezuka didn't sleep so much meant that he probably spent just as much time awake than someone much older.
I guess it's time to read Showa.
>>134152913
Thats Haku Zynkyoku not Mizuki Shigeru, But they all look the same.
>>134152800
So that's what got him.
>>134152585
Haven't read Showa yet since it wasn't completely released yet. You should probably read Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths first just because it's a standalone volume.
>>134152654
He made THAT?
Ah, man.
Not long after Setsuko Hara too. Both will live on in their works. I'm currently reading Mizuki's Showa: A History of Japan. He has a great way of juxtaposing important historical events alongside moments of his life from his childhood onward. The books are so much more enjoyable than if they had just been straight facts. Mizuki will be greatly missed.
He made some really great work, I'm at a loss for how to phrase what an influence he was for me. I hope people continue to discover him after his passing, he was one of the greats.
RIP.
>>134153258
>>>/v/
so who's our oldest pioneer who's still alive, /a/?
Time for some Kitaro dumps? There's still no scans of the main series though. And D+Q is only questionably releasing a second 'Best of' volume (of which I despise).
Wow. I was just thinking of maybe buying the first volume of his "Showa" work.
Anybody read it?
Thanks to Mizuki for your created sweet youkais.
>>134153334
I was wondering that myself. We have Takao Saito at 79. Tatsumi recently died. Tsuge is 78.
God damn everyone's dying in 2015.

Rice.
He was Tezuka and Ishinomori the same generation.
Ah.
Well, bye.
>>134153334
Kazuo Koike is 79.
Why is his Wikipedia article shit?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Mizuki
>>134153904
Because it's probably a translation of the Japanese one at some indeterminate date. Like most of these articles.
>>134153929
Figures Wikipedos got lazy.
>>134151695
Well at least his not young, at that age he most likely saw thru death and take it with grace, RIP
>>134151975
Be sure to read Hitler, too.
>>134152219
Got mangled during the war, infested with maggots, amputated.
>>134152377
He was a tough little guy. He survived mean neighborhood gangs who threw rocks at each other, a world war, a dozen illness while hospitalized for his arm removal, and rock-bottom poverty.

Is everyone on /v/ a spoiled little shithead?
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK.
I mean, yeah, he was super old and it was obvious he only had a few years left, but fuck.

They might not know his name, but they definitely know about his manga. It'd be like not knowing about Peanuts in America.

At least he had a long and happy one. RIP

Never heard of this guy, but from a cursory glance, it's amazing how I never did before. Dude went through hell and helped revitalize Japan's paranormal tradition, from the looks of it. Feel pretty bad about his passing now, even though he lasted way beyond expectations.
For those of you want to try out some of his more serious, historical stuff.

Yeah, just use the bakabt torrent.
Glad this got stickied.
RIP Shigeru-sensei.
Who?
Can't really be sad about it considering he lived to fucking 93. At that point, you deserve some rest.
>>134154344
>helped revitalize Japan's paranormal tradition
>revitalize the tradition
I wouldn't go that far, but there was definitely a resurgence of interest in youkai and folklore. His war stories weren't as popular for whatever reason.
>>134154350
Sweet, thanks for the Showa links.
When will the last veteran die, I wonder? Rapidly the last memories of Imperial Japan are disappearing into the night.
It's truly great that Mizuki was able to convey what he and so many others lived through for future generations.
>キャスターとして水木先生が聖杯戦争に駆り出される可能性も出たわけだ
You know, part of it might just be that a lot of /a/ can't be fucked to do anything that isn't just torrenting and watching anime, but I feel like there's some stigma towards older pre-80s works, that they might be simpler or more infantile, and the stylized Disney/Tex Avery-esque appearance of some of the art(e.g. Tezuka's) might aid in that, but honestly, a lot of the Cold War-era stuff by some of the oldest mangaka of note might be some of the best stuff ever written in the medium.

>Mizuki Shigeru posts a lot of food pictures. This isn’t really anything amazing–lots of people post food pictures. But after translating Showa: A History of Japan, I have a much better perspective on his absolute adoration of food.
>This is a man who almost starved to death, and watched people starve to death all around him when he was stationed on Rabaul island. Food has a deeper meaning to him than I think any of us can understand. One of the lines of Showa that really stood out to me was when his character Nezumi Otoko is explaining the lack of food, and he looks to the audience and says:
>“I don’t think you modern readers can really understand how terrible it is, to have no food. Starvation is more than just an empty stomach. Hunger eats away at your soul. You slowly succumb to despair until you can’t see any hope in the world.”
>Keep that in mind when you look at this picture. Sure, on the one hand it is a funny picture of a great genius having fun with something as mundane as a McDonald French fry. On the other hand it is a picture of a man who knows more than most people the actual connection between eating and being alive, and who embraces every bite with a gusto we will never know.

I think that's generally true for any medium. Lots of people can't be bothered to watch older movies or books. They are right in the sense that only a few older works would have something to make them still resonate to modern generations, but I think sampling some older stuff is still useful in getting a general idea of how things have changed.
>>134154519
I guess "revitalize" is pretty overstated, yeah. Still more influential than I thought at first. I should probably look at some of his work when I've got the time.

The name is in the title dipshit. Have some respect for the dead.
Anybody ever watch the live action movies for Gegege no Kitarou? They were surprisingly decent. I didn't expect it to convert very well to 3D, since there's a lot of goofiness to the original characters. Then again, maybe I was only impressed because I had very low expectations.

>>134154937
His landscapes were fucking amazing.
>>134154943
>despite the fact that /a/ barely cares about Ghibli in general
Look. There's meme-ing, and then there's discussion of Ghibli works, which happen often enough.
I really think Sticky is a bad idea, it attracts too much crossboarding scum coming here just to shitpost. People who browse /a/ would eventually notice threads related to his death and pay their respects anyway

There was a major geopolitical event which pruned all the low-hanging fruit.
>>134154350
Are these TL'd?
>>134153376
Yes, if you are a bit ignorant of why exactly the attack on Pearl Harbor happened then it does a great job of showing you how Japan was leading up to that moment along with showing the era in general from politics to Mizuki's own life at the time.
>>134154943
And how often was Shigeru's work discussed on /a/ prior to today?
>>134154559

He has every relevance to /a/ and anime/manga. He's almost as important as Tezuka to this industry.

Drawn and Quarterly did them along with Tatsumi's and a few others
>>134154972
I said barely cares, not hate. Like, aside from the mistake memes, there's little actual discussion of Miyazaki or Ghibli, but you just know that when he dies there'll be a huge burst of both shitposting and crossboarders whose only exposure to anime is Miyazaki.

Here's your reply.
Wow I can't believe this nigga who was older than baseball died.

I can for sure say diet. All my family member who died of old age (with diseases and health problems i guess) died in their 90s. We just eat a shit ton of peas, beans, rice, and vegetables. Meat only once a week.
