psychological thrillers Hooda Sawa even
achieved the impossible when he
successfully adapted Astro boys the
greatest robot on earth arc with his
series pluto his work would also serve
as influence to creators across the
globe such as you guessed it del Toro
number four rumiko takahashi you better
cut that out when it comes to female
artists none have changed the landscape
of anime and manga quite like that of
rumiko takahashi most people may know
her for her feudal fairy tale Inuyasha
however she is also credited as being
one of the originators of the harem
anime genre
