Thank you, Dr. Frag! Always nice to hear from you! Although I kind of like Cybotron's theory about a "mystery, missing or lost episode!"

Oh, and BTW Cybotron, do you know if the 80s Astroboy aired in your area back in the eighties and if so on what channel and at what time?

I just thought of another possibilty! It has been theorized that when Warner Bros. bought the rights to "Godzilla Raids Again" they were not sure of who had the copyright to the name "Godzilla" or rather than have to pay for the rights to Godzilla, they simply renamed the film, "Gigantis" and thus w...

That 2003 Astro Boy probably would've been received better if they weren't trying to dumb it down for kids I wouldn't say it was dumbed down for kids. It was Sony doing the dubbing, not 4Kids (4Kids is related to Fox which is a republican outlet channel and thus well under the FCC's tyranny). On th...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;91761]Hi! To which scene do you refer? The one in the middle of the movie where the twin fairies are wearing kimonos? Or......? As you can see most of the scenes edited out of the original had to do with trying to make it seem as "non-foreign" as possible! The funny thing is, watc...

I ran across an old thread which Jeffbert said was better suited for the Astro Boy discussions then where it was! So, I am starting a new thread to put my two cents into the discussion! To begin when I first saw the episode known as "Eternal Boy" (although I had translated it as "Eternal Youth" as I...

Hi, Everybody! Here is some information you may not have had! Apparently the order of the episodes is merely a suggested order for broadcast because on WTGI-channel 61, one of the stations known to have broadcast "Astroboy" in the eighties here in the U.S.A., they aired in a slightly different order...

I think a lot of the reason that "Astro Boy got no love in the U.S.A." is that 1.) Astro Boy had not been seen widely in the U.S. since the early seventies, 2.) His series are not as violent as let's say, Dragon Ball Z, 3.) A lot of his thunder was stolen by Mega Man, whom many thought "Astro Boy" w...

Hi! To which scene do you refer? The one in the middle of the movie where the twin fairies are wearing kimonos? Or......?

Hi, Everyone! Just discovered this thread! I must say I have the first episode of "Jetter Mars" in Japanese, and knew that the Spanish version had been for sale on eBay! But it wasn't until now that I learned the episodes were on view at youtube! Thanks Fauna for that link to the episode, "La Robot,...

[QUOTE=ASTROBUDDY;91572]Well even though I do like the film, "H-Man" I also already had copies (both in English and Japanese) of one of my favorite "kaiju-eiga", "Mothra" and I think the transfers on these copies are some of the best you will find! So, I for one think this collection is a good addi...
