Interesting! I see now that there were some changes in the remake. Some of the images were down right beautiful. All in all a well done adaptation of "R & J". For those who have never read the original, maybe you should catch "Franco Zefferelli's film version of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet" from 19...

"In Episode #5 a man named Roger befriends Kimba and takes him on vacation to Paris to a World's Fair. I think that's Rock in the first shot as Roger." 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 ...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;208580]Since "Astro Boy" first aired in 1963 and in Japan the setting was then forty years in the future, 2003, then would not that make 2006 the year Astro Boy flies into the sun? I :heart: :astro: :) But in the manga, his first adventures (after Ambassador Atom) started 10 years...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;208580][QUOTE=kscharf;208446]There was a thread about that version of Atom on here a while ago. He had a cape in that version too. Yes, the thread is called "Astro Boy Returns" (First Grader & Fourth Grader Editions) BTW, isn't the year 2017 the setting for "Jetter Mars"? As for t...

Some Kimba star system observations: I found Hijeoyagi again in episode #17l. The character of Chikara Aritake appears as well. Geta appears in a crowd scene along with Tezuka in episode #11. It seems to me that Billie Lou Watts did two voices, her "normal" voice was used for male characters such a...

I believe little was changed in terms of plot when the story was remade for "Shin Tetsuan Atomu", but I do like how you point out how Tezuka used the same story elements in the different series especially "Jetter Mars" which he had very little to do with in terms of its production. But then again th...

I've gone through the first three disks in Kimba, and I've found Dr. Tezuka in Episode #11 (first screen shot). Astro appears AGAIN in episode #13. Here Hamegg once again is a hunter (second screen shot) and we catch him at his camp site with a portable TV set, and guess what program he's watching?...

[attachment=]2298[/attachment] I found this site: http://www.geocities.jp/myhakubutukann00/atomgallery.htm This figure was at the top of the page and appears to have that name, but when I translated it . . . it comes out as Atom made of soft vinyl Denboku 2017 (Tales of Times Now Past Atom) Denboku...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;208364][QUOTE=jeffbert;208355]Cobalt's debut episode is #93, & the 3rd opening sequence debuts at #140. Sadly, I did not take note of when the 2nd sequence began. But I just checked, & it starts at #77. Thank you, Jeffbert for the clarification. Then the second opening did not air...
