AstroBoy Online Forums

I'm not new, but considering the time of my last post, I might be. ^^; I just wanted to stop by and say "Hi!" I'm happy this board is still here and continuing to keep alive this timeless classic anime. Will I be back? Maybe, maybe not. The past two years have been a doozy and time on the internet i...

I woke up this morning to see Astro Boy in the newspaper. Or should I say, Astro Man?

An online version of it:

Very interesting.

They had a few at Hot Topic.

(I have the silhouette one. ^^ )

Plus there's the fact that a lot of money spent on an animated film goes into development. Now that the first film is finished, Astro, Cora, the blue core, Metro City, etc., are all stored in computer memory and can be pulled out at a moment's notice. All the rigging and other configurations have b...

(Though I'm not sold on how Astro looks here - I think the model of Astro they ended up using works out better even if he does look slightly older.) Looks to me like maybe (this is all speculation) they were going with the original circus idea with a more original-oriented version of Zog? Yes, ther...

After reading many of the postings, I decided to try and find the orriginal script on-line but for now it's not out. I'm sure I won't be the only one to try a re-write. On the same note, I've been reading about the production history. Quite a few changes and shifting of creative hands. I remember w...

So I saw the movie a fourth time on Saturday. Yet again, I basically had the whole theater room to myself. Did anybody noticed that Astro doesn't have his "squeaky" boots and (of course everyone should have noticed) a heart-shaped power source? I guess the boots would have gotten a little annoying b...

Hello everybody! Remember me? : :grin: : To be honest, a bunch of people put their political propaganda into this film. I second that and that is probably the biggest obstacle I had keeping me from fully enjoying the movie. But I did love the 3D (although everyone got a strange makeover in one way o...

I saw the movie on opening day (midnight showing). How can I put this in a good way...? Hmmm... Oh well, whatever. It was just terrible. ^^; SPOILERS AHEAD The first hour or so (nearly half of the movie) is just someone filming a Going Away party for the main character who is going to Japan. Of cour...

It was uploaded early this morning... http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c39213baccaf0113bbfd970d00b0 Now that I fully see the time schedule, I think it is a "joke" show. Just like what they did with PeeWee's Playhouse. I just hope they show all ~100 episodes... ^^; Off topic: My signatur...
