Kyoto Tezuka World, a store as well as a theater of short movies located in Kyoto, Japan, has closed down two days ago on January 16th. And while this is somewhat old news, I do feel that word of this should be spread.
While it was a store, it also had a theater screen where various short Tezuka-related movies would also air.
Among those movies, these also included the various Astro Boy short movies, including the famous Shinsen-gumi movie.
Merchandise-wise, there's still other Tezuka stores in Japan and other stores that sell Tezuka merchandise, however there is no word on what's going to happen in regards to these films. Maybe a new theater will be built elsewhere, or maybe they'll finally give these films a home-release. Either way, everything is pretty much unknown right now.
