In the meantime, making non-traditional versions is a great idea. It's a well-loved anime, spin-offs in general are popular, and they're splitting it into different age demographics. Now we just need an anime of Urasawa's Pluto. :w00t: Oh, I definitely agree. After three traditional Astro Boy serie...
