Here is something you might find interesting! Back when I first rediscovered Astro Boy and had taken a rudimentary course in Japanese, I had purchased a "Roman album" titled "Memories of Atom"! This book not only had color scenes from the various Atom episodes, it also had synopses for all 193 episo...

Yes it is interesting how many different non-English speaking people have trouble saying different English words. I wonder if non-English speakers remark about any English speaking person having trouble with certain words from their language? (Boy when you guys go off topic, you really go off topic!...

Hey, everybody! I just realized that according to the original anime series, Astro Boy got a special (or "strange") birthday present on his birthday in the form of a sister. So I guess it can be said that Astro Boy and Astro Girl share the same birthday. With that in mind I would like to say: "Otanj...

I can't thank all of you enough for the wonderful response to my thread! :blush: Your replies were very informative! I've started watching the Astro Boy series of 80's on Viki Anime with Japanese audio and English subtitles.. The series seems amazing and very interesting to watch! :wub: I've watche...

Which one of the three do you suggest for me to watch? And where can I buy the original DVDs...

Without being biased, (for ex. someone said the 1980 series is the best. I strongly disagree!) each version has its merits. I would start with the original 1960s version and then watch the other two in chronological order. I don't know what this prejudice against the versions in English is or agains...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;208611] Actually that is not Rock, but Kenichi, another of Tezuka's characters as Roger Ranger. He and Higeoyaji as Mr. Pompous, Roger's uncle were Kimba's human friends throughout the series. There was a marvelous article in the legendary magazine, "Markalite" about the making of...

And it appears Astro's adventures take place over the space of at least 10 years . . . in 1960's anime "Super Duper Robot" Astro comments to Uran that "it's been 10 years since I was built" . . . and in the manga "Atom is Stolen" he is given a body to test out which put him at age 18 (and it was to...
