Thanks for the news. Could you post a link to where you found this info. The Right Stuf site has nothing on this. If it's true, then I'm pretty exited, because it's one of my favorite episodes. 60's Astro in full color is awesome.
There was one other Japanese episode made in color. "The Last Day on Earth" It's the one with the bomb robot "Bemo", I think was her name. The Japanese print was not in full color, but tinted hues. It started out in a blue hue and by the end of the episode the background, especially the giant sun, was bright red, but the forground, including Astro, was still in a blue tint. The U.S. print was in Black and White only. I hope this is reproduced for dvd in the Japanese tinted color.
Both episodes were put together with one B 'n' W episode in a 1964 movie entitled "Astro Boy, the Brave in Space". I have this plus the episodes seperately in color.
