Legendary mangaka, director and artist. One of the greatest in animation's history.

Seriously Wow!!

Like the Grinch on, literally, Christmas Eve... I'm green with envy! Matsumoto-sensei's character designs are iconic. It's unfortunate, however, to hear some fans in the anime & manga community comment on his body of work as "dated" but your upcoming coverage in Otaku USA Magazine should help shed light on the scope and gravity of Matsumoto's influence.

Interesting how he starts with the facial profile.

MAETEL! I will love Matsumoto's works forever but it seems like everyone in my (the teenage) generation seems to overshadow Galaxy Express 999 and Yamato with Captain Harlock, personally Galaxy Express 999 will always be my favorite even though the vhs prices are ridiculously high!
