Astro Robot

[Anapan]

Anyone ever heard of an Italian cartoon called Astro Robot? I found a picture of him and it seems to be a direct rip-off of Astroboy, red rocket boots and all.

No, never heard from. Where did You get that pic? Can You post it here?
We would love to see it :wahah: !

I found it on eMule. I've got some episodes downloading now (I'll copy them to the /misc/astro_robot/ directory on the ftp).

There is also a Mexican cartoon called Jetter Mars. He has almost the same hair, the two points. But he has blue boots and pants.

I think jetter is a tesuka production isnt it??
Maybe these are just variants of astro to suit the audience of the country...I dunno pure speculation here

Pretty sure it is... i Just found Jetter in the Atom GBA game and had him added to my Heart ^^

Jet Mars was produced by a different animation studio, tho Osamu Tezuka did the character designs. I don't think he had much to do with it aside from design work tho.

That's actually kinda funny.
Astro Robot isnt nearly as cute as Astro Boy though.

This thread here discusses the circumstances of Jetter Mars' creation.
Jetter Mars made his appearance during the 70's.
