I can't think of too many casting ideas for the movie at this moment, but I will say this: there HAS to be Japanese people in it. Especially if they're going to keep the Japanese character names. It's just the right thing to do. For the non-Japanese characters...you know who'd be a great Hamegg? Ste...

Someone I was talking to once came up with a concept in their AU as to why his skin has a bluish hue; I forget the name of the actual condition, but it basically boils down to silver poisoning. That's actually a really, really good theory! I looked this up, and the condition in question is called A...

I always just assumed the access panel was on the back of her head, and Ochanomizu just opened her head halfway to get in. I don't remember if this was in the manga or one of the 1980 episodes. (Take this with a grain of salt; many years ago I binge-watched/read a lot of Astro Boy while home sick wi...

"Oh my God, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're blue!" Seriously though, I'd say Skunk is more of a mint blue or aquamarine. https://40.media.tumblr.com/4ab63f720a70d5161e5ae7a433386f9a/tumblr_o20fg0GfGV1reylkuo2_540.png His pigmentation was like, oddly accepted by me as a kid.

A quick edit to my earlier post...I claimed that Blues and Jazz only appear in 4/5 of Skunk's episodes, but that's incorrect. I incorrectly remembered one episode, and the truth is, they appear with Skunk in all five episodes. Great detective work! (It sure helps being able to read the Japanese titl...

I hate to double-post, but I indeed have a meaty name update! This has been an exciting week for Astro Boy news for me. (This includes something else I'll save for another thread.) https://41.media.tumblr.com/1cb4ee92417ccd9a71d8aad8397e5b74/tumblr_o1wphtBr4V1reylkuo2_540.png So, I've always wondere...

Here we go, Skunk is back! I wonder how old he is in this series, in comparison to Tenma and Ochanomizu...in regular AB canon, I always assumed he was younger than them. Maybe he's in his early 20s and in some kind of mob internship. So, today's preview...it's a sloppy rainy night, right after the f...

Well is there a Japanese equivalent to 'Harry'? IE, my first name, 'Kenneth' might be Kenichi in Japanese (Though I think they also use 'Ken', perhaps as a shortened form). If so you could just go with that! I'm guessing that Pilat only appeared in the 1980 anime series, though he might have been i...

Confirmed Name of One of Skunk Kusai's Henchmen
So, I am currently on the moon right now (and/or having a stroke), because I discovered something pretty wild this weekend. I don't know how many others will be as excited as I am, but I really wanted to share. I've got the actual, canon name of one of Skunk's henchmen, specifically from the 1980 se...

Why are they candy though? I'm not proficient in the manufacturing of toys nor am I a collector so this is a subject I know nothing of. They are really cute though. No, no, the figures aren't made of candy! They just come with candy. Usually a blind box figure and its candy are wrapped separately f...
