Was this episode included in the English broadcast? Or is this a remake that Mushi studios decided to do? I seem to recall this story on my boxsets.

I laughed so hard seeing Atom's cheek stuck to the horse's 'loving lips'.

Great episode full of Tezuka's unique design of horses, I always liked how he drew them.

And not even character recycled designs? Wow. I have not been able to see this series to be honest.

That's "Mu" from Osamu. It's literally 'insect'. I think Tezuka loved insects so much that he decided to write his first name with 'mu' for insect instead of the character that is traditionally assigned to the name Osamu. It really does look like a little bug though, kanji is like that sometimes. Th...

I know on ebay there are lots of figurines that were made if you search for them. Some of them are really cute. As for Uran, the little 'tomboy' that she is actually stole a pair of his 'underwear' and attempted to fight Pluto in the 1980s anime. I can't remember if that happened in the manga though...

Another blonde to his list at that if he as a little crush on her! Though her hair looks a little tinted so maybe she's a redhead?

Oh that story. I think it was mentioned that one single power cell for his time period some fifteen years before Atom's real birth was something in the upper $100,000s.

I wasn't too fond of that story arc to be honest.

Goku pops out with a goofy grin and flies away off to some unknown land.

I then insert Marry Shelly's Frankenstein novel and take a step back.

Yes, I don't think anything was mentioned but Dr. Ochanomizu at least in the English dub stated of the 2003 series stated that a 'huge amount of money' went into Atom's project. I was just curious as to how much that amount might have been, and where the money came from (probably taxes).

I think every single Tezuka animation has a cameo of someone from another series or even Tezuka himself.
