Hello,

Does any timeline of fictional events in Astro'63 exist? OK, Astro completed in 2003 - but when was he sold to the circus, etc. etc., when did he go to the Sun? I noticed a date of 2017 for the latter somewhere but not sure where.

Hello, A few years ago the original Japanese series was available on YouTube and I happily watched some episodes, including the first one and the very kitchy last one (193, "Greatest adventure on Earth"). Now a small team on a Russian online fan festival, of which I am a member, wanted to make a Rus...

In Astro'63 Tenma did not lose his job after spending the money to make Astro, nor did he keep him as some sort of secret (as in Astro'80). On the contrary, he continued to use individual teachers for Astro, and judging by their looks, they are university professors or something like that. And some ...

The thing is, it could not be Tenma's sole decision. The money was not his, and you don't go around building WEAPONS in a state facility without supervision. AIs - yes, you pretty much do. But not weapons.

Tenma didn't keep the robot in Tobio's life in the '63 version. Atom did not go to school where Tobio was, he had his own teachers. Nor was there any "memory transfer". This is all '09 invention. The childhood friends all knew Tobio died. It was a very public event - a failure of an automatic transp...

Not sure what you mean by Tenma overcompensating his own abilities. I only know one thing of "his own" he overcompensated for. His parenting failure. And yes, Astro's AI did evolve - and in my model it was built to evolve. I have a rather clear idea where IT in that world deviated from our reality, ...

makes me wonder if, in fact, a real Astro Boy would/could actually exist. It is the perfect "steal weapon." Here's something interesting. http://www.gizmag.com/nuclear-uav/22041/ For the military, Astro would be just that. An unmanned intelligent nuclear powered drone. (Wings are actually a better ...

I think Tenma built the powers in to start with, because these were the specifications enforced by the military. However, he kept them hidden from Atom's AI consciousness. That consciousness was not ready-made, it evolved by learning. Thus, the "raising as a son" thing was a legitimate part of devel...

Hello, For my Art of the Impossible", I was considering the actions of Dr.Tenma in Episode 1 '63, and re-watched the episode carefully (with very valuable help from my son!) And he actually seems much less of a bad guy than often imagined. That is, once you consider the logical offscreen reality. To...

At long last, Chapter 4! Meta meets Dr. Tezuka and finds out a lot about Umataro Tenma.
