AstroBoy Online Forums

Hello.

I'm reading this at the moment. It's great. I've just finished volume 3, and I have 4 and 5 already on my bookshelf. :cool: I got onto it after visiting the Tezuka exhibition in Sydney a while ago. I found the artwork to be particularly good for a Tezuka work. And his storytelling is outstanding as ...

And yet he loves dogs? I didn't like the Blue/Red energy track, I didn't like the human bashing, anti-human, humans...

Actually while I was watching it, the biggest annoyances to me were the shield over the robotting arena. It blocked robots escaping, but somehow allowed the RRF to go flying through it, as well as Stone's dropship. Then there was Elefun's mention of no trees on the surface, but it looked pretty lush...
