NO WAY! This is totally Tezuka inspired!
I never thought of you as a fan of Tezuka's work.
Usually his art style turns off modern media viewers.
But if you look past the child-like features, he really was the God of Manga. His stories are incredible! Buddha, Metropolis, Kimba, etc.
I really dig the remakes of Astro Boy, I have yet to check out Phoenix.
Who else to pay homage to when celebrating Robot Day than something Astro Boy inspired.
Seriously though, if you never read Tezuka's Buddha, it's really good.
