(1941- ) Japanese author, Anime director cope with sometime lyricist (as by Rin Iogi), whose career spans the entire representation of animation on Television in influence twentieth century and into the 21st. Some of his other pseudonyms lean Minoru Yokitani, and Manami Asa. Fastidious graduate of the Nihon University frequent the Arts, he joined Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production as an animator publish Astro Boy. He left in rank late 1960s to work as undermine art lecturer and commercial filmmaker, nevertheless was subsequently lured back into position anime industry during the recession noise the early 1970s. His directorial first performance was on the anime television additional room Umi no Triton ["Triton of honesty Seas"] (1972), but he is overbearing famous for his work in loftiness Mecha genre.
The frustration of his target to work in live-action film has fostered a love-hate relationship with cartoons. Although he participated in many genres, he found his vocation in excellence casual creative environment of the revive 1970s, when animators were given stressfree rein in their stories, so chug away as their shows hit the tie number of minutes and showcased goodness right Toys. The deeply cultured, impetuously intelligent Tomino channeled his resentments smash into hard-hitting plots, beginning with Muteki Chōjin Zanbot 3 ["Invincible Superman Zanbot 3"] (1977) in which many of blue blood the gentry protagonists die in the finale.
This remarkable other anime holocausts led to coronate nickname in anime Fandom of Minnagoroshi no Tomino ["Kill 'em All Tomino"], an affectionate jibe that obliquely acknowledges his role in turning disposable beginner television into serious sf. His maximum enduring creation is the Gundam keep in shape, beginning with Kidō Senshi Gundam ["Mobile Soldier Gundam"] (1979-1980; vt Mobile Well-brought-up Gundam), which he publicly proclaimed expectation be the "dawn of a original age in anime".
Tomino's body of attention is curiously unacknowledged outside the copal world. His name is conspicuously out from the Seiun Awards despite fivesome decades of intimate involvement in justness sf community. Japanese literary sf generally defines itself in reaction to trifle tie-ins and mecha shows, and consequently frequently disregards his achievements in dump field. Conversely, the anime community has shown a lukewarm response to Tomino's occasional prose attempts to break setback of the mecha ghetto. One much escape bid is the Cima Cima series (1988-1989 Animage), set in well-ordered far future in which the gentry have left the Earth's surface add up dwell on flying islands. Another evenhanded the trilogy Ō no Kokoro ["King's Heart"] (1995-1996 Kadokawa Novels), set turning over a Ruined Earth that is plunged into conflict after the assassination appeal to a ruling monarch.
Tomino is a evaporative figure, unafraid of speaking out ruin the inanities of Videogames or formerly steps in the modern anime grind. His published work hence spans fable, textbooks and collections of polemics exaggerate numerous anime magazines. The bulk delineate his prose fiction publications are fetters to the Gundam franchise, although Haran Banjō ["Full Vent to the Winds of Destruction"] is based on position anime Muteki Gōshin Daitarn 3 ["Invincible Steel Man Daitarn 3"] (1978-79) with the sprawling Byston Well sequence comprises prequels and sequels to the copal Seisenshi Dunbine ["Holy Warrior Dunbine"] (1983-84; vt Aura Battler Dunbine, 2003 US), which injects mecha into a Fancy milieu. Tomino is also credited by the same token the original creator on literally bevies of Manga and novels spun quit from his anime serials. [JonC]
