My name is Emma, I'm 21F. I have 2 cats and a bird. I enjoy reading,
cooking, art, the ukulele, programming, and video games.
I'm studying for CNA/GNA at Allegany College of Maryland.

I've been a fan ever since I was in third grade, and my favorites
are the 2003 series and the 2009 movie. Will fight for Cora
Beware of bad puns and absurd headcanons (or is it buttcanons?)

Favorite Quote:

"Humor. Two unconnected things are suddenly united by a paradigm
shift. It is hard to describe, but we all know it when it happens.
Weirdly, it causes us to make a barking noise."

Welcome, Astrolina!

Welcome to the forums, Astrolina!

Welcome Astrolina! It's good to have you here.

I believe I recognize your name from Tumblr, as I do interact with some Astro Boy fans on that site.

hi! I’m Nyx, and I’m new to forum stuff. But, I just got into Astro Boy, so here I am!

I came from Tumblr, and my fandoms are Astro Boy and Big Hero 6!

Welcome Nyx! Glad to have you!

There's a lot of history with Astro Boy (over 70 years worth!), so I hope you enjoy all that this franchise has to offer.

Hello Nyx!

Hi all! I am not ‘new’ haha, but I haven’t logged in for many years…

Great to see the forum is still alive although not as active as last time I was here.

My next on watch list has to be the Pluto series on Netflix, I’m a bit behind I know… I also keep meaning to revisit the 2003 series as I never saw it all in Japanese (I believe it was not all subbed too).

Welcome back Haruka-chan! Looks like you were active before I joined the forums, so I don't know you too well, but it's good to see you return! We've been having quite a few old members returning in the last couple years, even if only for a one-off post.

Yes, the forums are definitely not as active anymore. With the rise of Discord and social media, it's seems that message boards are not quite as active as they once were (though they are still around!).

Definitely watch the Pluto anime! It's an awesome mature take on the Astro Boy series. You may have read the manga for it; there's a few small differences from the manga but not anything significant. The anime was one of my favorite things I experienced in 2023 and I'm sure it was for many others back then too!

Hi Haruka-chan! Yeah it's quiet here but I check in every day, so if you post anything it'll be seen.

I was thinking about the Pluto series this week. I've only seen the first episode and it was really good. I should get back into it some time.
