A Schlockbuster is something that is otherwise not a Mockbuster, but rather a schlocky Blockbuster; a film that is still low budget but charming and still very successful.
Asylum films, makers of Schlockbuster films such as Sharknado, has its writers produce full three act screenplays and then only film the third act.

The rather very ugly transitional version of George of the Jungle from the second season of the eponymously Canadian television remake.
George of the Jungle (2016) is an ugly transition between the naïve 2007 version and the possible 3D Movie finale version.

Osamu Tezuka (手塚 治虫, b. 手塚 治, Tezuka Osamu; 3 November 1928 – 9 February 1989) was a Japanese Empire born Japanese manga artist, cartoonist, and animator. Born in Osaka Prefecture, his prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the Father of Manga" (マンガの父, Manga no Chichi), "the Godfather of Manga" (マンガの教父, Manga no Kyōfu) and "the God of Manga" (マンガの神様, Manga no Kami-sama). Additionally, he is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during Tezuka's formative years.1 Though this phrase praises the quality of his early manga works and animations for children and teens, it also blurs the significant influence of his later, more literary, gekiga works.
Osamu Tezuka began what was known as the manga revolution in Japan with his New Treasure Island published in 1947. His output would spawn some of the most influential, successful, and well-received manga series including the teen and children's mangas Astro Boy, Princess Knight and Kimba the White Lion, and the adult-oriented series Black Jack, Phoenix, and Buddha, all of which won several awards.

A good old clumsy manga superhero, albeit a royal one of course! He is more often known as Kinnikuman to his native audience, but his real name is Kinniku Suguru.
Kinnikuman is naïve yet durable, because he does many awesome things when he fights against the villains!

Teleserye is a filipino word for a typical tv series intended to be for serious minds, but which comes off as being filled with narm to many people who aren’t grannies.
Even though Teleseryes are Filipino tv shows from any genre, The typical Teleserye is like a Mexican telenovela but with more cheesecake animesque fanservice.
