One thing I must commend the artists of the 03 series - they set a distinctive style and carried it throughout everything. To me it seems very "retro-futuristic" - very "art=deco" and the colors are very dreamlike. Yeah, in fact the designers of the '03 series were aiming for a "Retro-Future" vibe ...

Thanks for the pictures, ASTROBUDDY! They look terrific!

I think you are right, it may be the game in which the runner-ups are more busy in comparison with the other games! :lol: I didn't mind finding a picture for this game until a few months ago, when I finally realized I seemed to always choose pictures in the same pattern, and I was afraid they were ...

Thanks for providing some clarification here, ASTROBUDDY. I may have read something along the lines of what you wrote, but couldn't recall anymore the exact circumstances.

Later on I'm going to post a GIF of Astro minus the background, making it a bit easier to participate.

I think this topic might still be of interest. I restored all of the pics on page 1. :) It's been more than 3 years now since I picked those books up from eBay, sadly I didn't come across further editions of the same kind thus far. I guess those 'Anime-comicbooks' weren't quite popular back in the d...
