Ah, Tezuka, what a great man. It's sad that so many animu fans don't know who he is, despite the fact that methinks he should be an anime household name. If it weren't for him, anime...well, anime would probably be...different, definitely; probably nowhere near as good as they are now and they certainly couldn't reach the mature levels that they can. That, and they probably wouldn't have come to the West (at least not for many, many, MANY years).
Also, I love 80s/90s/early 2000 anime, those are my favorite decades to watch stuff from.
