It's like Penn & Teller demonstrating a classic Houdini trick perfectly, while winking at you and making you totally aware of the trick, but the magic still works.

It's NOT just another "breaking the 4th wall" type of film, although that is part of it:yes, tons of people have made scratchy videos-but this is a virtuoso performance of it-seen on film, it's technically brilliant-way more intricate than just a filter in AE. When the film "breaks" it's absolutely convincing when projected--you will swear the damn thing broke. It's also a work of meta film making, literally breaking down the essential elements of film craft for you to see. Plus it's also funny.

Sorry but isn't this film to bright? I saw this in class and it was much more darker.

@8adamsworld8 It's actually the logo to "Mushi Productions", but I wouldn't be surprised if he used it in other places as well.

does this feel like a Tex Avery cartoon to anyone else?

@pmaestro I mostly agree, breaking the 4th wall isn't anything new, even back when this short was made. It wasn't genius, but it was still very clever and dang funny. But I think you're right, it is a little overhyped because of his name, but that's how lots of things are.
As for anyone being able to do something like this, I disagree. It isn't amazing like some of his other work, but it is fun and entertaining and still carries the special unique Osamu touch that most of his other works have.

The way the cowboy hid from the other was very clever.
The ending was hilarious.
The colour part was beautiful!
Tezuka-dono never stops of working O¬OU
In Heaven he's doing manga for Buddha ;)

Damn.....Tezuka's genius is just.....astonishing.
I love how the characters actually acknowledge and interact with the low quality of the 'film'.
