Q: Although he is still hailed as a pioneer of Japanese TV cartoon shows, Tezuka is guilty of a number of things. One is that he gave the impression that Japanese TV cartoon shows could be sold to the United States at a high price. As I mentioned earlier, the demand for children's shows was growing in the United States due to the development of Saturday morning hours on TV for children's programs slot, and NBC purchased "Astro Boy" from Japan to meet the demand. (NBC's Tokyo correspondent happened to found out about Astro Boy while watching Fuji TV.)

But when the story of "Astro Boy" earning dollars made the news in Japan, Japanese people understood that if they made a TV cartoon show, they could make enormous profit from its export to the U.S. Fuji TV's rival station, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), bought the movie adaptation rights to a popular manga at the time and ordered the TV cartoon adaptation of the manga "Eighth Man" from the CM animation department of its business partner, commercial production company TCJ, which neither researched nor prepared to produce (in effect, 24 minutes) of weekly TV cartoon show. However, TBS was a big client of the company and they could not refuse the order, so they started production of "Eighth Man" before they develop the technical know-how to produce a weekly 30-minutes-long TV animation program. "Eighth Man" began airing in October 1963. This was nine months after "Astro Boy". soa natural?
