KFR 4: Alita, Bubblegum Crisis and the Legacy of Osamu Tezuka

This episode we review the Hollywood adaptation of Battle Angel Alita and look at the stories origins in Manga and OVA's.

 

We also look deep into the back catalogue to when the cyber-punk genre became popular in Japan, with both the original Bubblegum Crisis and it's remake - Bubblegum Crisis 2040.

 

And in anime history we revisit Osamu Tezuka's work, looking at his legacy on animation and Japanese culture.
