AstroBoy Online Forums

VERY NICE! That's an excellent tutorial for anyone wanting to go beyond just tracing the manga... or even people using bootleg alarm clocks as a reference (me >.>). I need to whip out some graphite and give that a try. Thanks for sharing!

True, but I'm thinking more of a worldwide aspect. The original Astro Boy movie (the only one made thus far) didn't go over well here but was a smash in China from what I've read. I'm pretty much just being overly hopeful at this point though.

I'll toast to that! Nice signature, by the way. There are so many Tezuka works that still need to be localized...

I think this is on topic- Would anyone be interested in a frequently (weekly or monthly) updated topic where I put together the best of Astro Boy stuff on eBay? I did something similar for a forum on a video game once. Puts the best deals together and I'd try to keep it to rarer things (as in, not t...

Thank you, Jeffbert, glad to be here! From the limited lurking I have done this has proven to be a stable, active and friendly community through and through- a true rarity in this day and age for the internet. That's good to hear, too- I have mainly been going based on what I've read elsewhere for t...

Interestingly enough, in the original Japanese Epsilon is generally gender-neutral, being referred too with an indifferent suffix. During the first couple of series it was a bit unclear which gender it was, and in Omega Factor they called it a he (as well as the Pluto series), but the 2003 series ge...

Somebody in a thread here said the movie picked up more theaters so maybe there will be a sequel. I hope there is. There is so much more that can be told from the movie. The movie is indeed gaining exposure still. About two weeks ago a chain in Virginia called Cinema Cafe started picking up the mov...

If we are to hold the original manga's backstory as part of the same canon as the film adaptation, it is strictly stated that Astro cannot grow- the very reason why he was abandoned. I like your ideas for Cora having a similar problem or condition, and although doubtful, an official adaption could t...

Although it does not assist with the issue at hand or make the dub edits any more acceptable, FYE stores have carried the 2003 box set on sale for 29.99 for a while now.
