Tezuka's Barbara (dual format blu ray and DVD)
One of Osamu Tezukaās (Astroboy) most adult and sexually-charged works, Barbara (1973-74) was originally serialized as a follow-up to Ayako (1972-73) in Big Comic from July 1973 to May 1974.
Barbara is an adult-orientated fantasy tale filled with love and the occult from Osamu Tezukaās reimagining of āThe Tales of Hoffmannā. Its story deals with the erotic and bizarre experiences of a famous novelist called Yosuke Mikura whose life is tossed upside down by a mysterious girl named āBarbaraā.
The controversial story, dealing with various taboos such as forbidden love, mystery, art, Eros, scandal and occultism, was said to have been impossible to be cinematized at the time of its original publication, but was made into a live-action film for the 90th Anniversary of Osamu Tezukaās birth by his son Macoto Tezuka (The Legend of the Stardust Brothers).
