AstroBoy Online Forums

hulu.com has them too http://www.hulu.com/astro-boy-1980 its in slightly better quality but there are only 23 episodes.

Hum...I'd have to say first flight. It shows all sorts of emotion, clips from the original, Colors, and most of Metro City...almost like Astro was sending you on a personal tour with him guiding you.

Yay I got book number four and Astros reactions toward and from his sister are soooo classic!

"LLM" wrote:I enjoyed this manga, and I liked all of the small references to other works of Tezuka. And Astro still had the hair! But the human forms of the bigger robots threw me off, but that made them feel more human.

I'm tempted to make a paper doll of this Astro too.

I'd love to see it

The one thing that I loved was Astros face when he was eating ice cream. Seriously what robot could possibly enjoy eating ice cream that much...or at all. (Or at least it looked like ice cream) Some robots I figure do have the ability to eat human foods like astro did in the original, but I didn't r...

I love how they did Uran though. She didn't look like Uran but she did look like a little girl. One thing that I haven't found out (cause I don't have number 4 yet is...uran...was she created by Elefun in this manga like the others?

I've only got the first three books. I plan on getting another come payday lol. Those manga's are expensive...but so worth it.

Has anyone read it and what do you think of it?

Astro looks so much more like a boy then a robot. I'm rather amazed at the art and the color (On the first few pages that is)

Actually this reminds me of an episode from the 1960s where astro is watching horses in a pasture...and he's thinking of having a mom and what she would be like if he had one.

So this is what I think he's thinking...

Astro: I wonder what it would be like to be the only child again.

The pants hide the fact that he's a robot better.
