I sincerely hope the Japanese characters are cast with Japanese people. Sure, they won't be big name actors (probably because nobody actually puts them in English movies), but it's a disservice to Osamu Tezuka to whitewash them. I saw some kid on Tumblr who wants Robert Downey Jr. to play Dr. Tenma....

A bit of a shorter chapter summary this time! At the chapter beginning, activity in the forest seems to have hit a weird standstill. Ivan has stepped right on A106. Nobody's moving, and the kids start freaking out and fighting as they think A106's energy has run out. Elsewhere, Skunk is going wild, ...

The American dub is the only one on DVD. The "Australian" dub is just the American dub, but since AB1980 was really big in Australia in the 1980s, it gets confused as being made there as well. The Canadian dub has never been released on any home video format. I'm fairly sure that the Australian DVD...

Finally, for the 1980 series, just go out and buy the English, Canadian, or Australian dubs on DVD, They show up on ebay often. Not cheap, but not a kings ransom either. The American dub is the only one on DVD. The "Australian" dub is just the American dub, but since AB1980 was really big in Austra...

I'd noticed the thing with Skunk's eyes, too, but I wasn't too sure if it was bc of the poster being too small and low-res. I guess this (possibly) confirms it being a thing? Does it have any particular meaning, or is it just a mundane thing that he has, I wonder? Usually significance is placed on ...

So this chapter starts off with A106 encountering a woodcutter style robot from Russia, named Ivan. He doesn't normally act like this, as A106 points out. The two of them begin fighting outside the lodge that the kids and the secret agent are staying at. Ivan has a lot of heavy duty power that puts ...

I see the markings on the robot as looking like "J4M35" to me, too. It's a pretty classic thing to make robot names with L33t Speak. I can't help but notice how Skunk seems to have heterochromia! He also seems to have a Miami Vice-style leisure suit, so he's probably still working in a mob in this s...

Tenma's redesign really struck me, at first glance, as an homage to his portrayal in Urasawa's Pluto . Like, just with more rounded glasses and thicker/more voluminous hair: https://maniacallycomical.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/pluto.jpg He does look a bit bonier, but so far, it's not bothering me. ...

I'm feeling a LOOOOOT of stuff right now. Clearly the ginger girl with the flower, and the scientist woman in some kind of green orb, are new characters and I'm glad they're adding more (likely) positive female characters to the cast. That is so definitely Tobio, and I really hope he, Tenma, and Ast...
