I ask myself that same question regarding Tawashi. Why wasn't he in the movie? You could've easily tied in a solid side story about how Tawashi doesn't like president Stone, but he's only doing this because he does;t like robot very much. And then at the end, have him go through a change where he se...

Actually...I was able to take the English version of the 03 series fairly seriously, especially towards the end, where things got intense. Now yes, I do have a tendency to make fun of it. But to be fair, I poke fun at Code Geass , and that's also one of my favourite anime series. (I know that's off-...

Actually, I'd love to see Funimation tackle a dubbed version of the 03 series. But considering their licensing history, and the fact that Sony still holds the rights to it, that most likely will never happen. But hey, a girl can dream, can't she? I'd peronally like to see them do another Astro Boy s...

Um, how do you know if Tezuka would have approved of this film or not? Granted, Tezuka was a very strong-minded individual, but I doubt that he was unwilling to give something a chance before judging it outright. Also, I understand what you're saying in regards to American films based off of anime, ...

Really? Awesome! Let's hope that can happen, we seriously need more Tezuka anime over here, even if it's just for streaming purposes.

Little Brown Fox Actually, Uran is still called Uran in the Japanese version, her nam was changed to Zoran for the American dub. Toshio Uh, no offense, but don't you think you're being unfair to the producers by calling the,m fools. Yes, the American producers changed things in the dub version that ...

That would be kind of cool. My only concern would be whetehr or not the negatives for the 60's series would be in pristine condition, given how crisp bluray picture is.

I haven't heard anything myself, though I certainly hope they do something. Astro Boy is very significant to both anime, and Japanese culture, so they have to do something big. Personally, I'd like to see a celebratory 50th anniversary film. But if that was the case, they probably would have announc...
