[QUOTE=Shiyonasan;124363]That is quite strange. :confused: Like I said, when I searched for that box set on the internet, many places said it was only available in English. I suppose it's due to the fans of the English dub taking precedence over the original Japanese version. Still, you WOULD think...

249. When you hope that someone in the near future will actually build an Astro Boy robot.

Well, Manga Entertainment did release the 1980 series like that, or almost, like I said. I think they did a really good job at it too, so I can only wonder why they didn't advertise a bit more the subtitling job they did like, oh I don't know, ON THE BOX? That's right, the box says the show is Engl...

Astro Boy never really all was that popular. Of course it was pretty popular back with the 60's and 80's series, but not an awful lot, and those times have passed now.

Those two with subtitles are included in the Australian boxse...

[QUOTE=Shiyonasan;124239]That's quite a price for all 6 of those! It's due to how rare they are though, right? Yeah. I'm making almost no profit on these, just selling for the price it cost me. I originally wanted to order multiple copies of each volume to save interested people on shipping, but it...

I know I'm not Dr. Jerk, but I'll go ahead and answer this one.

You can find the episodes at Tudou. If you search "astro boy sub", you'll be able to find them. She goes by the name TotalFailure on that site.

Here for volumes 4 to 6. The first three are out of print, but I'm selling them here for $100 (I have vol. 4 to 6 reserved to someone else right now). They stopped releasing them in Korea after volume 6, even though there should be 13 in all. A real shame considering the subtitle quality. The 6 vol...
