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 in Japan until the summer of 1964 and the next ...

Jeffbert; Great, then I take it with Strange Wings help we will be seeing threads on episodes # 137 & 138?
Maybe you can add some scenes from the second opening?

Can someone tell me if the American version even has a diffrent opening than 1 i got to episode 62 well when is it changing ? Or are we only talking about the Japan version since it is also so much longer The English dub made in the USA only has the first opening and the first ending for all 104 ep...

I think we can thank the Internet for making all of us more comfortable with names and words that - in another time - would have been off-putting :D One thing I'd like to know is where Ladd came up with "Jetto" for Cobalt :eek: But that's for another thread!

I do not know if most later episodes were made just in time, but I have seen 1 that used clips from at least 7 other episodes. I think it is fair to assume that they often were cutting it close to the broadcast time; perhaps not always, but often. I will create a thread soon. Great, a new thread! W...

Yes, it did occur to me that the second closing was used for the last three years and the first one was used for the first year only. kscharf: Yes most productions have several "in the can"! They have to or else they would run the risk of not having enough episodes to air. Most productions do run "h...

And here are the closing scenes. As one can see there were three different openings. Astro Boy was aired for four years and there is an opening for each year with the third version airing for both the third and fourth year. The first version is probably the most familiar to most of you out there as ...

I believe somebody somewhere asked about the opening & closing scenes for the !960s anime. Don't remember if any has posted on this site, but here they are for your edification!

Thanks are in order again to Jeffbert! It is great to see another one of the "89"! #133 (I prefer Schodt's title of "Revenge on the Tenth Year"!) I believe I have seen the "dopey" little guy in "The Wonderful Christmas Present" (Am. Ep.# 91) Yes, Jetto did fly with small jets strapped to his legs li...
