What!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? First the Astro film, and now this? Why can't America do anime? And if you can't, find some other franchise to destroy and LEAVE ASTRO ALONE! GET OFF THE STAGE, HOLLYWOOD!! *throws rotten tomatoes* I'm a bit confused by your reaction. Did you not know that the movie would be ...

All hope is not lost... http://astroboyworld.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-on-potential-pluto-movie.html Urasawa and Nagasaki both said the Hollywood version of Pluto would be live-action, not animated. There are also a few Japanese companies looking at it for different kinds of releases , but the Holly...

I think that if the Pluto movie is a huge success (and I mean really huge, hey you never know, the producer has been good so far in marketing his movies), we most likely will see new DVD boxsets of all series, this time uncut, boasting "The story that inspired Pluto!" in their marketing and even may...

I think the story of Gaou and Akanemaru in Phoenix: Houou are the deepest, most real performances of Tezuka characters I've seen. You've got a good guy, an artist, who just wants his name to be known forever, become selfish and uncaring of others in his quest, and a murderer who thinks people are bo...

I see both Astro Boy and Atom as somewhat outdated names still used today out of fondness for the character and not changing traditions. The atomic threat is no longer a concern as it was in the early 50's, and the conquest of space and astronomic secrets is no longer on everyone's mind like in the ...

I know its been a long time that this thread has been used, however I found parts of the film online, and although it might not be the entire film many of it has been covered. No, that's just the first 8 minutes of the different short films that have been posted before. But it seems there were at l...

I think it could work pretty well considering how much filler that series has.
Triton of the Sea had 2 movies, but they tried to cover as many episodes as possible, and as a result covered too much ground too fast. Jungle Emperor was also cut into a movie early on but I don't know how well it worked.

This, and the movie Paprika are awesome. Also, their theme songs are AMAZING!!! Thanks for mentioning Satoshi Kon's work, he was my second favorite anime creator after Tezuka. His recent death shocked me more than any other outside of my family that had happened so far, so much so that I couldn't b...

I think no one has anything to be mad over. I don't know what the posting limit is, but let's say it is about 7: that should be more than enough. I consider myself a very frequent internet user, in fact I am addicted. I spend more time visiting this forum than most people here. And how many posts do...
