>No Go Nagai
>No Rumiko Takahashi
>No CLAMP
Japan, I am disappoint.
CLAMP can go suck my dick!!!
They'd have to go find it first, since it's so small.
PWNED.
Go CLAMP!!!
>Trying to green text outside of 4chan
Seriously? I do agree, however.
Clamp is shithouse. They just do the same fucking thing over and over again with slightly different backdrops... same characters, same character designs, same plot devices, etc. All they care about is their character design.
This retarded list do not need to be taken seriously.
It lacks Rumiko Takahashi, Go Nagai, Johji Manabe, Yuzo Takeda...and many more important names than those choosed. Useless.
Some names are OK, like Tezuka.
No Masamune Shirow! Ridiculous list!
No Go Nagai!? Bullshit! the man damn near invented every modern anime genre. School comedy with sexual jokes? anymore skin in Harenchi Gakuen and he would have invented the first hentai comic. Giant robots? He was a first guy to give them an actual pilot riding in the robot! Blood and guts and epic battles Berserk and Dragonball have devilman to thank for blazing a trail. Magical girls? two words; Cutey and Honey!
Why's Oda on the list? I like One Piece and all but Oda has created like one series which isn't complete. Shouldn't they add him after he atleast completed one series? Plus where's Rumiko Takahashi? She made some of the most popular manga among the girl/woman demographic.
Well I have to say Oda revolutionized manga by omiting the main character practicing a special move for a week before he uses it in combat.
Hence why Luffy was Man handeled during the war.
Oda and takahashi are popular, but they are not history changing artist.
Go Nagai deserves a lot more praise than them.
To be expected of Goda, Only today's narutards and bleachtards are filled with jealousy to take shots at OP and can't admit defeat or show some respect.
I don't read Naruto and Bleach is shit, but OP is just shitty enough to be even lower than that. I don't show reverence for trash. If it's something decent like Dragon Ball, sure.
Go READ One Piece.
One Piece? How did that change anything except maybe (some) shonen, the design style, and pirate manga?
the sale volumes is more then any other top 10 Manga from you list together !!!!
No Go Nagai? D:
manga today, aint like the classics T-T
You mean complete shit?
If you actually searched for good manga you would be surprised to find many that are actually pretty impressive of today.
You know diamonds in the rough.
And no I'm not talking about looking through shonen jump.
One Piecetards must be jacking off to this list as we speak.
Yup, I see some really influential mangaka missing from this list, like Rumiko Takahashi, Go Nagai, Ishinomori Shotaro and CLAMP, as understandably, this is a specialized site. Only particular types of manga and anime are considered because of their... recreational value. >P
Its good to see some tezuka love on this site- i havent been a memeber for all that long, there may be more somehwere, but its good all the same.
Ruimiko Takahashi they call her princess and she's not on the list? Just another list of pointless drivel statistics with no connection to reality.
I don't see Rumiko...
I'm calling bullshit on this one...
why you wanna make Lum sad?
Lum will ignore or, for better, electrocute all idiots behind this list. Only half of those names belong in Top 10.
Gosho Aoyama is not on the list? I am disappoint.
Wait, where are the mangaka who created Golgo 13 and Saint Seiya?
You not knowing his name is a good indication of why he isn't on the list.
really? no Go Nagai?
I thought that, too. Well most of YOU probably don't like his works, but he first made manga to contain more daring themes in the 70s, like it is standard today. It's said that he invented "ecchi". He was undeniably influential.
He also single handedly founded the Super Robot genre and laid the foundations for later Real Robot series with Mazinger Z! Hell, he invented modern magical girls! The sailor scouts wouldn't taunt us with their almost naked bodies if it hadn't been for Cutey Honey! This list is a COMPLETE fraud!!
Good for him he chose manga cause Gynaecologist = looking at old vagina's = not fun.
No Rumiko Takahashi or Adachi Mitsuru means i dont believe this list is worth being taken seriously .
If he wanted to be gynecologist he must be touching below...
Only know five of those titles, and three one of those in manga format. But where is Go Nagai?
shocked to see no Hirohiko Araki
but wasn't TEsuka a doctor before mangaka, and a good one.
He is a qualified doctor but he never practised and went into manga production full time after he graduated medical school.
Fujio F. Fujiko as a historical mangaka will always be in my Book of Approval.
10 years from now, Kaworu Watashiya should be on that list..
Fuck yeah Gineco-Tezuka!
I lol`d since Tezuka was a doctor to begin with.
When he achieved such sucess with his early works, he turned into a full time mangaka.
Come on. Wikipedia its just a step away.
FUCK YEA Naoki Urasawa... 20th cb is full of win
SAILOR MOON (NAOKO TAKEUCHI)!!
THEY ARE ALL SHIT
Where the hell is Hirohiko Araki on this list!?! Fuck this gay Earth...
Wut.
Astro Boy mangaka?
naked girl?
uhhhh...
Why is Go Nagai not on that list?! Is this telling us tha the first guy to have a teenager piloting a super robot(among other things) did not change manga history??
haha osamu wanted to be gyno brilliant!
