Re: The supplemental DVD in the 80s bluray 2nd boxset is a gold mine

That's awesome. I also bought the 2nd box not too long ago due to being worried they would go out of print soon.

One day I hope to rip the episodes and add the subs, but I currently don't have the means and knowledge. I don't mind the english though.

There was a station in Japan that played the Astro theme song melody too. That was pretty cool.

We went to the Tezuka Museum and I picked up Box 1. Pricey, but who knows if we will ever get an English release.

Sorry for the bump.

Recently the 1980 Blu Rays have gone out of print, I had put off buying them and now have missed out on Part 1. Does anyone know of anywhere still selling it? I'm going to Japan soon, good chances I could find them there easily?

Thanks.
