On the anime page http://tezukaosamu.net/en/anime/index.html there are only a few titles without links. I had assumed that there would be very few English pages on the new site, but now, there are many. I had been using google translations for a few of these that interested me, but now there is no need.

Of interest to me are the ones for the DVD sets that I have: Dororo, Princess Knight, W3, Triton, & a few others. When I write about episodes that relate to Astroboy, I can refer people to these web pages. :cry: Yet, they still give no episode info for Jet Mars. :cry:

Over in the manga page, there are a few links to stories that were adapted to Astroboy episodes. One is "The Monster on the 38th Parallel," which gave us "Bacteria Corps," another is "Moony Man," which yielded "Princess Kaguya."

It's doubtful that they will write summaries for the JM episodes. Although I think I once noticed that there was once no JM page but then suddenly there was, I guess it means that there is some progress going on.

How old is the English site anyway?

There were maybe a few English pages when this new site originated, but they have been adding content since then. Note that this same material was available on an older site, but essentially they have just been reformatting the original content to fit the new format. There never was any episode data for JM, so, I doubt that will change.

Definitely seems unlikely, there isn't even an episode listing on the Japanese site.
