For animation worldwide, Walt no question.
For Japan alone, Osamu Tezuka.

>>151540843
Sounds about right.

Tezuka is essentially just Miyazaki but without the unwarranted self-importance.

>>151540970
Tezuka basically proved to Japan that their own comics and animation could be legitimate commercial enterprises. The dude literally wrote over 700 manga titles in his life and the adaptations of those to anime set the foundation on which the entire anime market now sits.

It's fucking Tezuka, how is this even a question?

>>151540970
What? Not at all.

>Be shonen jump
>Have Mazinger Z by Nagai and Lion Book by Tezuka
>Milk DBZ and Naruto instead

he singlehandedly trailblazed the standards STILL used in anime and manga.

not even memeing or dickriding. any positive statements in this thread about him are probably an understatement. that's how much he influenced.

>>151541365
Okay, but that doesn't make the comparison to Miyazaki any less nonsensical.

>companies only milk what's popular and sells

Well color me fucking shocked.
