I like your pirouetting Astro image at the end. Was that your own artwork?

Another rare episode from the '60s series where Astro is not 'naked' all the time. Cobalt too! Also Cobalt was flying, I though he didn't have jets. Riboryu must have been built with stolen plans for Astro, he's too much like him (maybe not 100,000HP but....). I think two of the criminals were the s...

Two examples of translations so bad that even a NON Japanese speaker should spot it (I think it was done by a non ENGLISH speaker!) were in the 1983 Astro Boy where Mustachio was called "Mr. Beard". Also in the "Faceless robot" episode they said he was looking for his "Neck" when it was his head. Al...

His height varies from story to story. Tezuka has drawn him at different heights compared to other characters. In one Manga there was a frame with Dr. Tenma complaining that Atom was "STILL" just 123 cm tall. (That's about 4' 0.5"). I also remember a story where he weighed in at 67 lbs. That's also ...

Yes Brahms (the Hungarian Rhapsodies). I think they used part of the planets (Mars) in one of the Astro Boy episodes (I think the 1980 version). Episode one of the 1963 version used Beethoven's 5th for the 'creation' scene. IIRC, in 1983 they used Liszt's "Les Preludes" in the English dubbed version...

"AprilSeven" wrote:and ALWAYS anything by Bach, Beethoven, Faure and Mozart!!

To which I'd add Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Schubert, and Chopin.

but i didn't like that "female bug of the space", i didn't remember the name, it was her's fault that Astro was sent to the past, by her's selfishness :( If you read the entire story arc (it took 3-4 of the Dark Horse books) you might have spotted the bad pun that Dr. Tezuka wrote into the names of...

Baka: idiot Bakana: impossible Ryu: Dragon Baka can also be translated as "Fool". During WWII the Japanese built a rocket powered plane that was actually a piloted missile. They called it the Baka. Guess they didn't have much faith in it (it didn't work) and the pilots who flew it were fools (or id...

Let's see now....
The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, The Doors, Dire Straits, ELO, Stones, Queen, Huey Lewis and the News. Also must mention Billy Joel and Elton John though they aren't billed as bands they sure do have their own regular backup groups....
