I'm absolutely in love with these boxes. I need to make room on my shelf so I can display them. Maybe somewhere between the Sailor Moon wall and the Giant Robo wall... There's another two sets out there somewhere - Uran with box one and Blue Knight with box four - but I haven't found a BK for less t...

About six or seven years ago, I bid on an Australian auction for four figures that had apparently been bundled with the Japanese DVD release of the 2003 series. I had tried to bid, but the seller cancelled it prematurely because we weren't bidding as much as she wanted. I was 14 years old at the tim...

Here we dig into the next episode! I noticed this time around, there weren't as many visual cuts, but certainly a lot of slice-and-dice editing and line changes. The fullscreen cropping is immediately getting to be a headache to look at. It feels like you're watching the characters while they stand ...

I know a lot of male Tezuka fans offline, and one of them is a huge fan of the 1980s Astro Boy anime. My brother used to be really big on Astro Boy as a kid, too, but he still knows all the facts and characters.

"We're sorry, Astro. You're too young to join the Paunchy Older Men In Brown Suits Legion. Although, please take this as a complement."

Hi, everybody! It's been eons since I last came to this forum, what with being in university, and a bit of self-identity searching I underwent. I recently rediscovered Astro Boy after finding the uncut Japanese episodes of the 2003 series. It was a HUGE shock (mostly good) to see all the differences...
