I must have seen reference to that date in F. Schodt's book, though I have no memory of it. Thanks, Astrobuddy! Actually it's from Ladd and several other sources. "Astro Boy" first aired in NYC TV syndication on channel 5, a local VHF station (at the time with the call letters, WNEW), on Saturday, ...

As always, thank you for posting another of "the 89". As usual you make me take out my guide book. "Crazed Border" is Schodt's title and "Crazed Boundary" is Tezuka Wolrd website title. It's interesting that you note its source as I had read that when he had adapted almost all the Atom manga, he the...

I WANT that. Seriously. I wouldn't mind having all three of them, but if I could just have Cobalt, I'd be very happy indeed. :3 Cobalt merchandise is very rare. The dealer I bought that figure from at a convention didn't know it was Astro Boy's brother. (He didn't even know Astro Boy had a brother!...

The "Atlas" story appears in volume 18 of the DH series, while the "Blue Knight" appears in volume 19 of the DH series. The "Atom vs. Atlas" story appears in volume 23.

Since they know it is just an illusion, the Japanese don't really care about lip synching. It's only in the US that a big deal is made about lip synching. While lip synching or dubbing is done in almost every country in the world, it is done with varying results. For example only in the US was the l...
