I'm astounded by the stupidity of comments in there.

Nobody, NOBODY seems to realize that the author was a visionary who was one of the first to describe what people now call The Singularity (The Technological Singularity). Look it up on Wikipedia to understand how massive and in advance of his time his idea was:

Not only that, but he also shook the foundations of gender equality with Princess Knight. We're only just TOUCHING on the many subjects and themes Tezuka would explore thoroughly in animation and manga.

He was simply one of the greatest storytellers that has ever lived.

God bless Tezuka.
