AstroBoy Online Forums

Well, I've read here in at least one thread that Ochanomizu was born in 1951 and Tenma was born in 1966 (from the orignal manga) But you're right about Dr. O's first name. Fred Ladd's comical "Packadermus J. Elefun" at least includes a "J." so we can at least assume in his American incarnation he ha...

That looks like an animation cell from that episode! Is it?
