Mother's Basement fucked up so hard in his statement about Yu Yu Hakusho "bringing in shoujo elements to battle shounen manga" that YUZO KOSHIRO HIMSELF came to confirm Kurumada is, indeed, big and Ring ni Kakero was the stuff back when it came
@MercuryFalcon
@Iamsuchanerk
As a 30-year reader of Shonen Jump, I believe ‘Ring ni Kakero’ really set the standard for battle tournament-style manga that followed. The trend of shouting special move names during battles? I’d say that became popular with this manga.

Happy 40th anniversary, Votoms!
It's one of the most memorable mecha anime from the 80s for very good reason. Almost feels like a sci-fi take on the Epic of Gilgamesh, while featuring a proto-Solid Snake that would be Chirico Cuvie.
Aged like fine wine
On the 1st of April 1983, the first episode of Armored Trooper Votoms aired. Directed by Ryosuke Takahashi (Dougram, Layzner, Galient), the series spawned multiple OVAs & video games. Votoms eventually debuted in SRW Z2: Hakai-hen (PSP) in 2011.
Happy 40th Anniversary Votoms 🎉

I love Yu Yu Hakusho but c'mon, Geoff
Kurumada was already doing that with Ring ni Kakero more than a whole decade before it by having the rival of the protagonist steal his sister's (and also trainer) heart in one of the most melodramatic cheesy kiss scenes Shonen Jump ever had
YYH paved the way for deeper storytelling in Shounen battle series, in part by introducing Shoujo Elements to the formula. It set a new standard for character development, created many Novel character archetypes, and set a bar that STILL hasn’t been cleared for Tournament Arcs

I will forever and unironically defend that Dragon Ball is legit one of the best comics ever made and these ridiculously well-panelled fights are a huge part of the reasoning behind that.
Unmatched beast and very few can dream coming close to being as good as he was at this.
Man. Insane to think that the some of the greatest and most visceral compositions ever put on paper were done in a weekly comic magazine for kids almost 40 years ago. So much to say about Toriyama but rereading DB as an adult really set in how much of a true genius he was.

"being sealed inside a coffin" is one hell of a description to how it must feel to be inside a MS cockpit.

For manga, I particularly suggest Ryuu no Michi.

The only reason some of these old cartoon characters don't have "pop culture importance" is because networks haven't aired their cartoons in ages. If Cartoon Network had played Woody Woodpecker, Betty Boop, or Rocky & Bullwinkle when I was a kid, I would've loved them.

it started in 1984 but got axed in a few months, but it resumed in 2014 and it's now finally ending
what a comeback
"Otokozaka" by "Saint Seiya" creator Kurumada Masami will end in 5 chapters on Shounen Jump Plus Web Service!
