I decided to expand the Ode to Kirihito contest a little bit by putting people into the running even if their comment was after midnight on March 31. (Double posts didn't give you an extra chance however.) So, with that in mind, the four randomly-selected winners of the Ode to Kirihito contest for Osamu Tezuka Month are F-Man, Ninjatron, Steve, and Yan.
Everybody on that list but F-Man has their e-mail address in their Blogger profile, so I can easily get in contact with all of you. If you're reading this, F-Man, send me an e-mail at evanm [at] anigamers [dot] com to claim your prize and tell me your address!
Also, I'd like to thank everyone who commented, and particularly commend you on contributing more significant content than "hey I want a prize too lol." You guys made writing the articles this month that much more worthwhile with the knowledge that somebody out there was reading them and appreciating them. Thanks!
Meanwhile, I've still got prizes to give away here. (Thanks for all of the great stuff, Vertical!) To find out how to enter the third Tezuka Month contest, which is totally running over into April, you'd best listen to Ani-Gamers Podcast #028a for the details. Good luck!

It would seem that, for some reason, we didn't get enough entries (that is to say, any entries) for our second contest, which gave four lucky readers a chance to win a copy of Vertical, Inc.'s new two-volume release of Osamu Tezuka's Ode to Kirihito. So, to open up this contest to more people, I've decided to extend it. From now until 11:59pm on March 31st, any comment on any article labeled "Theme Month – Tezuka" (including this one) will enter you for a chance to win both volumes of Ode to Kirihito.
Oh, your comment will have to be on the actual Ani-Gamers site, not on any re-posted version, like Facebook. Also, make sure you either include an e-mail address in your comment or keep an eye on the site for an announcement of the winners, or else I will have trouble tracking you down to send the prize. And nobody wants that, right?
With that, I wish everybody luck in winning Ode to Kirihito. Now comment away, and enjoy the remainder of the Theme Month!

The prizes just keep rolling in this month, as we move on to our second contest of Osamu Tezuka month. This week we'll be giving away four copies of Vertical, Inc.'s new two-volume release of Ode to Kirihito. However, this week we're switching up the way to enter. Instead of just commenting on this post, you'll be entered into the contest simply by commenting on any Tezuka Month post during this week (including this one).
If possible, please include your e-mail address so we can get in contact with you to send you the prize. We'll randomly pick four winners next Sunday at 11:59pm. Watch the site next week on Monday for a post announcing the winners.
I'll start us off with a conversation topic in this post: Personally, I have found that Tezuka is particularly good at evoking strong emotions in simple yet memorable single panels. What are some of the most memorable "Tezuka moments" that you have seen in his anime and/or manga? One of my personal moments is in Ode to Kirihito, where Dr. Urabe gets a startling call about the fate of his former patient. Torn apart by this new information, he slowly turns from the phone, and on the next page, we see his face up close, a grotesque mask of anger and guilt. Though he is entirely human, Urabe looks far more beast than man in that single moment.
