I didn't know Astro Girl was voiced by Billie Lou Watt. Though, I was always wondering why they kinda sounded alike. In the very first few episodes of Astro boy, His voice was a bit light.

I think this difference in voice actors derives from the cultural differences, or perhaps, the production ideas, theories, etc., though I had assumed that some minor characters shared a voice with Ochanomizu, for instance.

The story of the two princesses was interesting and it was especially of interest to me as I have wondered about thi...

Uran is the "borrow word" for uranium in Japanese. The Japanese often use words from other languages when they don't have a word in their language to describe something, thus they "borrow the word" and make it their own! Chitan is the "borrow word" for titanium. The hyphen in the word is there to de...

Yes thanks to all the help from people on this forum, the wikipedia pages are again good and reliable sources for Astro Boy Information.

Thank you to whoever corrected the entries on the Astro Boy Wikipedia pages. Would you also be so kind as to correct the info box for 1980s Astroboy as the item should read US broadcast instead of NA as the broadcast history pertains to the US only as the Canadian broadcast history is different.
