I've never seen Kimba before, glad it's finally on youtube. In the first 10 minutes I noticed many of the voice overs sounded very familiar, guess the same voice actors from Astro Boy did Kimba. Not surprising, both produced by Ladd.

Perhaps with some help from Bablefish

Well until a BETTER Tezuka Encyclopedia comes along.....(Please!).
I do think the insight on the "Holmes" angle might be true though.....

[QUOTE=racoonangel;207027]who's wato? She's Sharaku's girlfriend in The Three-Eyed One . She was in the "20th Century Last Mystery" TV special too.[/QUOTE] According to McCarthy she was Dr. Ochanomizu's assistant in the 2003 Astro Boy anime. One more bit of trivia, Hosuke Sharaku always addressed h...

I'm sure it's a nobody. You shouldn't expect to see star system characters everywhere. I think you said Kiddo from The Three-Eyed One was played by Black Jack before, but he really isn't. No I meant that Kiddo reminded me of Blackjack without the scar. Maybe I am reading too much into the character...

This clip is from the 2009 movie. There were quite a few members of the 'star system' included such as Higeoyaji and Tezuka himself. In this clip we see Tezuka, but who is the woman? I think it might be Chiyoko Wato with glasses. She was Dr. Ochanomizu's assistant in the 2003 Anime series

It's interesting to note that in the original manga, Cobalt is not included in the story. I can't imagine why he was left out - unless this manga (in Dark Horse Vol. 10) was created BEFORE he "existed"? I re-read that story and Cobalt WAS there - in the very last frame. I wonder why Tezuka didn't h...

I gave some thought to the technology involved, what is available today, and what could be available in the future based on known theory. I've posted a fan fiction on this site that contained some of that. Power? Cold fusion has been hotly debated (sorry about the pun), but there is some solid theor...

IANAL, but I do know that certain use of copyrighted material is legal. I refer to certain novelty records made by Dickie Goodman in the 50's-70's. He would combine short cuts of many hit singles with voice overs to do a silly story. He was sued for copyright violations, but the courts held with him...

I just saw this episode from the 1980 series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogszU_zqjuc (#28). Guess it's the same story idea. Oh and I guess the color TV angle was a problem. We didn't get a color TV until the early 1970's. I talked my father into buying a 21" color TV from Heathkit and I built it ...
