Classic Shonen Jump from the early 80s! Fist of the Northstar, Kinnikuman, Dr. Slump, Cobra and more

[@omaryusefbaker]

15:43 - the manga’s title is kodomo no oukoku (A Child’s Kingdom, or Kingdom of Children, etc.). The creator’s name is Morohoshi Daijirou. The manga is a best of collection of his short stories. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daijiro_Morohoshi

[@antonydrossos5719]

HOKUTO NO KEN!!! Ok, this just became my favorite episode of Cartoonist Kayfabe! And of course, I almost instantly recognize which chapter of Fist of the North Star they're reading! I remember reading issue 4 of the Viz run back in '89 while riding the bus to my Kung-Fu lessons, & could relate to Shin's explanation of Southern Cross Fist as 'Hard Style" & North Star Fist as "Soft Style". My exact thought was, "Holy $#!+, I'm actually learning this...". I was an instant & eternal fan!

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

Nice!

[@enragedkaiser237]

When a manga magazine has Kenshiro on the cover you know its gonna be good!

[@demonknight3986]

The first strip you asked what it was its "Fuma No Kojiro" by the same guy who made Saint Seiya :D and the guys who made Kinnikuman actually were the Youngest (At the time) to ever be serialized in a manga magazine. Both the Writer and Artist were 16/15 doing this stuff! The Animal comic is "Ginga" Some of the most brutal and beautiful stories ever written in my opinion, about these dogs trying to get rid of Bears taking territories. The strip with the (200 volumes) is Kochikame. the longest running manga in Guinness, it has such a huge impact on japan they actually made a train station that was originally in the book to real life. Kochikame and Kinnikuman are some of the most important mangas historically. Cat's Eye art style is Familia because its made by the same guy who did City Hunter. Sorry for talking a lot :D I love ur channel

[@pkkingcrimsonrequiem1332]

It's actually the series Kurumada made after Fuma but before Saint Seiya. Otoko Zaka.

[@demonknight3986]

@@pkkingcrimsonrequiem1332 Thank you for correcting me :D

[@karelmartel1437]

As a kid I was so blown away from the Fist of the North Star animation movie. I have seen the movie 20 times or so.

[@johnboydojo]

Yeah man it still hold up!

[@tooruoikawa8985]

If you want to pull from some classics for a running comic “ Steel Ball Run” is a horseback racing manga by Hirohiko Araki. It is a certified classic that consistently shows up on top Ten greatest lists! Also the Rohan OVA. I think the Anime is on Netflix. It’s about competitive running!

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

I just love all the various sports manga....in America, I am not too sure anyone would be interested in a Running or Horseback racing comic. Manga somehow finds a way to make it an interesting read!

[@chubetochetodozal5290]

Captain Tsubasa is the name of the soccer manga, and greetings from México I love your chanel guys.

[@kinketsu9103]

The comic from about 15;40 when Ed says "Dont this look like Matsumoto" is Kimagure Orange Road. The text at the bottom says "Presented by Matsumoto" so you guys were on the ball.

[@littlebigcommentary]

19:33 nice observation! And yes akira toriyama DID Draw his own ontamontapeia, it's one of the things he was famous for and he still did it for the first couple volumes of dragon ball

[@kekzilla6669]

Bachelor #2 in the Mount Rushmore image @7:50 is Casey Kasem, preeminent '80s disc jockey who hosted the weekly Top 40, and cartoon voice actor of such characters as Cliffjumper on "The Transformers", Shaggy on "Scooby-Doo", etc. (zoinks!) -The third guy may be intended as a likeness of Ed McMahon, host of the popular "Star Search" TV show from 1983~95, and longtime co-host on "The Tonight Show".- I have that same ad in issue of Newtype (anime mag) from 1988 -- it's advertising an English proficiency course. ^EDIT: I didn't recognize latter-day Jerry Lewis with the tinted shades. :( Kasem [as Robin]: "Holy mix-ups, Batman!" Ed McMahon [offscreen]: "aHo-ho! Ye-es!" "Cobra" from VIZ (1990, square-bound) was not presented in color.

[@kylegerbrandt]

I will say, growing up late 90s/early 2000s my first comics that I bought in the reg were the English Shonnen Jumps they released at Macs/7-11. They were monthly by that time but I had pretty much all of them.

[@jiger2396]

I know for a fact that Toriyama did almost all of his lettering for his earliest works Almost every manga ka does from Oda to Itagaki to Hara, Urasawa, Togashi and of course Miura did, rest in peace

[@timtapp5931]

He also had help from his wife who also was a mangaka.

[@jimsarny1]

You two have better algorithms for stuff that I like then google and Amazon combined. You sure you didn’t place a chip in my head. Keep up the GREAT WORK

[@JediFarce]

The Space Corbra manga and anime art was and is still amazing for that time, nothing in the US market comics or cartoons couldn't even compare. Having lived overseas at that time as a kid, you could not wait until the live action masked heroes came on about 5pm and the anime shows around 7pm after the local news and shows.

[@Cartoonkal]

That was cool! Hope you guys look through the Dragon Ball one some time soon. 👍

[@calanives3270]

I look forward to seeing more videos like this

[@juanalbarran75]

CK videos about classic manga are THE BEST

[@russworks2882]

Thanks to all of the commenters down here for filling in the blanks on a lot of this stuff.

[@blueskyexpo]

At 3:18 I think are Orson Welles, Casey Kasem and Jerry Lewis.

[@TheHomeOfGraphicLiterature]

You'd be correct about that one looking like it's done by the City Hunter mangaka, cause I believe that's their comic Cat's Eye!

[@pkkingcrimsonrequiem1332]

At this point Cobra was taking long hiatuses between story arcs. 1984 was the last story arc published in this magazine (Hell Crusaders). I'd imagine Terasawa & co was taking the long breaks to refine the art.

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

Those who never got around to reading Fist of the North Star, VIZ is doing a re-release sooner than you think...June 15, 2021!

[@kolyabilan6580]

08:56 sooo true!

[@3dferr]

Awesome video! More japanese stuff like this ❤

[@johnboydojo]

Absolutely love Hara Tetsuo's artwork. His work on Keiji was dope too, as was Cyberblue, that was kinda cool also! Damn I wish Raijin magazine was still going... Ah well. Fist of the Blue Sky was also amazing. "YANG WANG!!! THE GOD OF DEATH!!" hahaha. He did some work for Capcom too, Saturday Night Slammasters and that...

[@mrtang18]

Would love to see a Cartoonist Kayfabe one off manga-inspired anthology :O

[@CureGinga]

Woah that is literal history

[@ScaryGarrySG1]

My favorite way to read/view Manga is in these weekly anthologies but I actually have very few. I don't think I have ever come across an issue from this era for less than $40 on ebay. Fuck it, I may just have to go for it. I love the 1 color experimentations throughout the volume.

[@tooruoikawa8985]

Hey LOvE classic shonen! Definitely would love some reviews of JoJos bizarre adventure! It’s the spiritual successor in some ways to Fist of the North Star!

[@kolyabilan6580]

Super! And I want "classic shonen jump from the early 90s and 00s ;)

[@pjbrown4736]

Jim, Ed... contact Comicazi in Somerville. I've seen some untranslated Shonen Jumps on a table out front.

[@jojobizadTRASH]

It's so weird that Jojo started around this time as well. It was very peculiar for it's insane detail and art style, and people would only have the OVA for part 3 until David Prductions announced the series in 2010.

[@isaacgilbert2050]

There’s an anime, that most likely also has a manga, all about running if you want some running comic influences!

[@RealNemo235]

I was recently reading Fist for the first time and noticed somewhat of a Neal Adams influence on the anatomy, except for the facial features.

[@pauldouglas9999]

Guys! That Jerry Lewis on the Mount Rushmore pic!

[@pablozambrano16]

Awesome stuff there

[@sdal]

I got some old manga anthologies, but no, you can't have them. I was able to get a nice run of AFTERNOON for awhile thanks to a local Japanese store, but it was monthly, so more affordable. They also sold Shonen Jump, but being weekly, i couldn't afford it so much.

[@prof_werneck]

Cobra 🥰🥰🥰

[@rvfiasco]

Ahh, it's almost worth it to learn Japanese just to be able to sit and read Manga. Those issues kick major ass. I would say for sure that's the same Manga-Ka who did Ranma-1/2.

[@rvfiasco]

Ohh...it's Kimagure Orange Road! That's why it looks so similar!

[@Grungypunkrockhalloween]

Captain tsubasa video game was in america as tecmo world cup soccer I think 🤔

[@MatthewJeanes]

It was definitely ported to the American market with different character names and heads.

[@Dominickudo]

Hey could you do an episode on the history of old shonen jump that would be very interesting.

[@jerryvarela9497]

Muscle was actually translated here in the early 2000’s

[@klishin9440]

Cat’s eye is by Hojo The City Hunter mangaka….

[@alexauclair1]

Hell yes

[@Frisenette]

Where did you guys get one in such perfect condition‽ It is not even yellowed? How is that possible‽ Edit: $18 is steep? I’d *consider* 10x that (don’t get any ideas now!).

[@dragohstelath1725]

a new weekly shonen jump costs 3 bucks a piece

[@Frisenette]

@@dragohstelath1725 who wants that? It’s the ones from the heyday that count.

[@antonydrossos5719]

18:52 I have to ask; do you guys actually subscribe to the "Head measuring" style of proportioning characters, or do you just mention it as a reference? I tried it in my art once, waaaay back in my 20s & hated it; my characters had the same proportions as usual, they were just stiffer. Never bothered with it again.

[@arniexvx9776]

we're not even going to aknowledge the swastika at 23:46?

[@paulhardman2515]

Is the third guy on Mt Rushmore Jerry Lewis?

[@cookiemadison8529]

Casey Kasem and Jerry Lewis?

[@MrDamnson]

That dog manga is called Ginga Legend Weed.
