AstroBoy Online Forums

We're midway through September now, so I suspect we'll be getting the teaser trailer in a week or so. Of all the things I'm hopeful for, I'm really hoping that this series won't have any toilet humour or pain humour; there's a lot of French-made shows that depend on those for laughs. (I'm al...

Oh man, I've always wanted to see The Secret of Atom's Birth, and I've always wanted hard copies of Akira Himekawa's AB manga. His series is really THE thing to read if you watched the 2003 series and wanted more closure on Astro's family dynamics.

For the matter of it being in French - it should be really easy for me to translate. French is taught in elementary schools in my country, so it's not that hard for me to grasp. I'm really excited to see this book, actually! I'm quite glad that Pocket Jeunesse and Gilles Legardinier decided to make ...

Pluto/Bruton's Canadian name was indeed Commonturk. I've got a lot of information on what a good deal of characters' Canadian names were. (i.e. Uran = Sarah.)

I've translated these all straight from the Amazon.ca descriptions, which come from the backs of the books: #1: First Mission - Dr. O'Shay has created the most surprising of robots that ever existed: Astro Boy! But while he dreams of discovering the world and make friends, the robot child must prove...

The thing is, the ones I've found on Amazon.com/.ca are way more expensive than what I'd pay for a kid's novella. I may have to really trawl around on Francophone-Canadian websites for some listings.

Last night, on an impulse, I decided to order an official paperback book off eBay France. I did some research, and it seems to be from a French line of book-exclusive stories! I'm planning to type up and translate each chapter, and I may put them each in this thread, copyrights allowing. I ordered m...

NEW ROUND GET! Here's a 2003 GIF:

Oh man, this thread is active again? Thwn I've got to chime in and add that I, too, like Tenma the best, to be honest. I think it's because in the manga and the 2003 series, he's quite similar to me (or at least the parts of myself I'm working on), and his 2003 version is a really accurate, sympathe...

Holy cow, this gross thread is still going? Who are the guys in this forum who are intensively thinking to themselves whether or not manga/60s Uran wore a bra?!

She's 5 years old in the 1980 and 2003 series, so I hope nobody's thought that deeply about those incarnations.
