Interwar Kamishibai: Shōjo Tsubaki (adopted by Suehiro Maruo), Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro (adopted by Shigeru Mizuki), Tiger Boy and Golden Bat are the only major survivors of the Kamishibai format’s interwar over-saturation. While the second to last one mostly stays in Japan, all of the other three have a slowly growing but increasingly well known international presence.
Emonogatari: Kenya Boy and Isamu of the Wilderness are amongst the only survivors of the medium’s downfall from grace.
Puppet Tokusatsu: Star Fleet and Kawaii Jenny seem to be the only survivors containing any international relevance nowadays.
