I've been curious about this for a while now, finding anything conclusive is difficult because I never know if I'm missing or overlooking anything. Can /a/ explain to me where many of the defining watershed "styles" came from over the decades?Ignoring manga and just thinking about anime because of the wider accessibility, I get that a lot of the 50s -> later 60s was all Tezuka and Fujiko Fujio, into the 70s would've been Shotaro Ishinomori and Leiji Matsumoto, after this I get lost because really there's an explosion of different styles and options when OVAs become popular. I'm assuming Urusei Yatsura inspired a lot of the 80s move into the Dirty Pair/Project A-Ko styles. Completely lost after that, but I'm not confident at all about what I've listed here either, I don't know if Rumiko aped someone else's style, I don't know if and where Tezuka got his inspiration, etc. And of course who I listed did not define the only styles around during these eras, there's a lot of outliers I haven't and can't account for.Basically, what are the most popular pieces of anime or anime films with a particular style that EVERYONE started to copy? And where did those works get their inspiration from? What names do we have for each of these styles?

>spend all this time to explain this shit to meNo.
>>287422834Ishinomori is more 60s70s is primarily Leiji and Nagai in terms of mangaka with huge influenceBut you'd probably want to pay attention to industry people like Shingo Araki, Kazuo Komatsubara, Akio Sugino, Yasuhiko, Miyazaki, Tatsuo Yoshida...
>>287422834A big turning point came in the 70s and 80s where a lot of the mangaka were heavily influenced by French comics, Moebius was a huge inspiration. This is really what killed the clear continuum that you see between Tezuka to Nagai in manga aesthetics, that Europeanization.
>>287422834Early ones are just prominent and proliferate figure of that time. Haruhiko Mikimoto is around mid 80s to 90s. Later era are harder to identify because how business scale, market demand and accessibility changed beyond one person can influence. One can always assume before tezuka, his style maynotI assume you can start from a chronicles of manga and aired anime and find the earliest instances of x, trace the character design credit and go from there.
