AstroBoy Online Forums

I recently found a very nice rendition of the Astro Boy theme played by the Cincinnati Pops under Eric Kunzel. http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Young-Heart-Erich-Conductor-Kunzel-CD-Oct-1992-Telarc-Distribution-/112569167 I wish I could post an MP3 of this, but the DMCA police would be all over that.

I was shocked, troubled, and moved by "The Angel of Vietnam" I wouldn't call it my "favorite" . . . but it was certainly one of the stories that had the most impact on me. Difficult to pick a "favorite" because Tezuka kept modifying Atom/Astro's story and adventures - each seems to highlight someth...

Somehow I have to think of Mars as Atom's little kid brother who is always getting in trouble (in different ways than Uran). Almost like Wally and the Beaver (Warning age showing!).

Very wishful thinking perhaps. There are lots of robots that come close in some ways. I often fantasize about building an animaton (animated figure like what they have at Disney world) that looks like Atom. I didn't say Robot or Android because that would imply a self aware machine. While I could pr...

For those that just HAVE to say Astro is their favorite character, which version? There are three Anime versions, the CGI movie, and the Manga versions to pick from. I'm partial to the 1963 Anime version myself, though I'm also fond of the 2003 Astro as well (he can sound so innocent in that incarna...

I recall an episode of THE JETSONS in which robots played football; many were destroyed in the process. I remember that one. The "Statue of Liberty Play" was done literally, with a robot holding a flaming torch. Here it is http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xs75jj_the-jetsons-jetson-s-nite-out-season...

Given a choice between Alabama and KSC, I think I'd like the latter better but it's still cool! Good Luck! BTW, Do you have any 'space' art that would make for good PC 'wallpapers'?

Sort of reminds me of the movie Roller Ball.

JThe mangas are read right to left, so they haven't been flipped. Kinda weird for me, but it is good to see nonetheless. Also should fix the issue with Astro Boy going from left to right like it did in the Dark Horse comics. After reading all of Blackjack and a few other Mangas from Vertical I'm us...

Yes, that's the one. Dr. O'Shay saw that while trying to think of a new name for Tobio. Of course, it ALSO spells ATOM vertically, so it works both ways. (I didn't see that watching the video, but still frame it and there it is!). Sony obviously had in mind more than the Japanese market for the seri...
