It's always a fun time when manga is specifically brought up. Considering how unique the history is for manga and subsequently anime, such as comics are with animation in the west, a lot of dynamics are involved. The first one being Osamu Tezuka, the grandfather of manga, with his best known work, "Astro Boy". Tezuka was influenced by animations over in the west, such as Betty Boop, and Bambi. Laying various foundations of how people perceive manga, he did so not only through genius work, but inspired other artists, such as Akira Toriyama, creator of "Dr. Slump" and "Dragon Ball", essentially innovating a sort of renaissance with manga. Considering how distinct Tezuka's artstyle is, the framing and action works to his advantage when telling a story. The pacing is well done, so his work is easy to binge. The continuity between chapters also supports the entertainment value, so it's easy to see why "Astro Boy" was and is still influential for all of manga and comics.
