That Time Fujimoto Changed the Game
In the world of anime and manga, there are some creators who have not only written some of the most impactful stories of all time, but have even had an influence on the entire medium. Osamu Tezuka, Akira Toriyama, Eiichiro Oda, and Kentaro Miura have all left an indelible mark on history. And in modern times, one mangaka has cemented himself as not only an masterful storyteller, but also a mentor for a whole new generation. That man is Tatsuki Fujimoto, and whether he's pushing the shonen genre to its limits with Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man or stoking intense emotion with his one shots like Look Back and Goodbye Eri, Fujimoto has proven himself to be not just any ordinary mangaka, but a name that will go down in history as one of the best. So on this episode of That Time Podcast, join Zach, Marcelo, and Ian as they dig into what makes Fujimoto's work so great and how he's led the way for some of the best artists and writers working today.
