Kanada spinoff school lineage

The Kagami Lineage (Tumbleweed) 

Kagami School
Itsuki Imazaki
Takahiro Kagami 

Arai School
Jun Arai 
Yoo-To 

The Trigger Lineage 

Trigger School 
Yoshinori Kanada > Toshiyuki Sato  
Hiroyuki Imaishi 
Akira Amemiya 
Kosuke Kato 

Tamura School 
Takuo Noda > Sushio
Hideki Tamura > Fumiaki Kota 
Ryo Tanaka 
Fujio Suzuki 

Takagi School 
Hiroaki Takagi 
Atsushi Nishigori 
Yuuya Takahashi
Takeshi Maenami

The Shindo Lineage (Shindo-Lite) 

Shindo School 
Mitsuo Shindo > Atsushi Yano

*Given that Yano is heavily influenced by Mitsuo Shindo, he’s perhaps the most radical first generation Kanada schooler out there. 

The Kamegaki Lineage (Smash) 

Hirayama School
Satoshi Hirayama
Yoshimichi Kameda

Kamegaki School 
Hajime Kamegaki 
Takafumi Hori
Yuki Hayashi 

Yoshinari School 
Koh Yoshinari 
Yoh Yoshinari 
Takumi Sunakohara 

*The Yoshinari school is less directly influenced by Yoshinori Kanada, yet more easily influenced by Yano’s early years, making it a high end spinoff of the Arai school. 

The Yamashita Lineage (Bounce) 

Yamashita School
Hideyuki Motohashi 
Masahito Yamashita 
Tatsuya Yoshihara  
Ryuuki Hashimoto 

Watabe School 
Keisuke Watabe 
Seiya Numata 
Toru Takano 

*Though the Watabe school retains some cartoonish essentials of Yoshinori Kanada’s early and later career, it remains more closely related to the Yamashita detail and effects school rather than to the Trigger school.

Rarotonga and her complicated legacy

Apart from Rubi, which spawned its own bigger franchise, there is no Mexican adult comic as captivating as Rarotonga, even though it’s rather stereotypical by both Mexican and most developed countries’ standards. Otherwise, keep in mind that despite its inherent objectification and misogyny (racism is also pretty bad in the comic, albeit not as obvious as the moderately toned down sexism), it remains the better written (1970s onward) and more captivating reboot of a 1950s Mexican adult comic named Taboo, which itself couldn’t hold up much in as early as the sixties, rather tellingly due to being more blatantly flagrant in terms of sexism than even the original Astro Boy manga created in 1952.  As suggested by looking at her somewhat ambiguous features in such a comic (itself somewhat fair for its day), Rarotonga surely is one of Mexican comics’ first mixed race baddies to gain consistent international popularity (at least in much of Latin America). Although she’s confusingly called...

Here come the Robots!

The certainty that Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine began life with of all things - a classy Tetsujin 28 competitor - is a frankly unknown curio amongst super robot fans outside Japan. Amongst his works besides Kuro Obi Kun and the less popular Tokyo Tarzan, No. 13 Take Off is a creation of Yoshiteru Takano, an unsung manga author turned camera store pioneer.  Despite its more hokey design, it’s much unlike the remote controlled and ugly-cute Tetsujin 28, who likely has the interesting title of being ‘the first robot character of what’s now considered the unlikely but true first Mon-themed work ever’. Although indirectly inspired by Manoel Messias de Mello’s Audaz the Demolisher, the first piloted non-American super robot with its own eponymous comic, Ken Ishikawa’s Getter Robos have more famous exploits. Frankly, the Getter Robos also have another stylistic predecessor in Leonel Guillermo Prieto’s similar but lesser known Invictus from Mexico, who technically is the antagonistic ...

Mazinger turns 55 in 2027

The plausible plans for the Mazinger franchise’s 55th anniversary will include a Shueisha Dash X Bunko serial novelisation and a 28 volume Shueisha manga line focusing on at least the four main franchise robots.  The first show, based largely on its manga counterparts, will focus on both Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger themselves.  Mazinger Z is an everlasting icon with distant links to Alexander Belyaev’s sci fi works. Its most faithful onscreen adaptation to date will feature a multilingual soundtrack. Unlike every other animated version, it will be co-produced by Studio VOLN and Holy Cow. It is also going to be distributed by Aniplex internationally, with permission from the Dynamic Group (Go Nagai’s Dynamic Planning, Gogasha and Dynamic Productions).  While Masaaki Yuasa will still helm it to an extent, Nobutake Ito will storyboard and co-write the whole show from scratch. Rising icon and soon to be fellow co-creator Toshiyuki Kanno will serve as a character designer fo...
