As "another story" set after the end of the original manga, this what-if "Return" plot depicts what happens to the title character after his final act to save Earth. After drifting in space, the robot boy is rescued by the three members of ravex, and he is miraculously revived — not by Tezuka's Black Jack surgeon character, but by "Space Jack." The newly evolved robot boy will be named "Ratom." The Princess Knight and other Tezuka characters will appear in this all-new story. Musical artists BoA, Maki Goto, Anna Tsuchiya, Tohoshinki, and TRF are contributing to the album, and an event is planned at Tokyo's National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation on April 10. The album marks Avex's 20th anniversary and what would have been Tezuka's 80th birthday.

i found these on google screemshots from the preview and stuff

Actually, it's already come out. I uploaded it onto Youtube in two parts, but the second half was removed for copyright infringement (surprisingly, I'm not mad).

Thanks! trough i prefer to get it on Dvd myself but i'm not sure is it any good? i just feel like erm this Ratom is a really bad Astroboy fan character.

Well, at least the scene with Sapphire's bath is still there
Anyhoo, I saw this. (downloaded it too so I still have both parts) I thought it was amusing. though it's nothing I'll go nuts trying to get, I'd like to get the DVD. Mainly I want to use some of it's clips for an AMV concept
I really like Sapphire and Tink's futuristic look. Though I don't think it works on Ochanamizu
May I recommend that you re-post this on Veoh.com? There's piles and piles of anime there and they don't even have the ten minute limit Youtube has so you wouldn't have to cut it into parts.

It looks a little weird but I'll look into it. I'll have to wait for the subs though.

i thought it was amazing!!! now i have more passion into becoming an animator than ever before!!!

Actually, I thought it was kinda bland... The Gary-Stu action made me cringe, and the repeated animation got on my nerves after a while. But hey, at least they had Melmo. And they had Melmo whupping butt, never seen that before.

(..I really have to finish that review.)

I wish this will be release in america soo some of you post it on youtube

cause i hate it when japan release a movie and not going in other country

like the movie of astroboy 2005 release only in japan

ratom looks like True in 1980 s version of astro

Damn... I want to see the second part =(
