I've noticed a 'Manga' section in the public library (called graphic novels). Lots of Marvel and DC stuff. I did find a Star Trek manga with stories by David Gerold and Will Weaton that was rather good.

I watched it last night, it was great. Some story elements seem to have been 'borrowed' from the film "When Worlds Colide". Viki has three or four episodes of "The Three Eyed One" up, I've watched the first so far. That's another Tezuka anime I've been waiting to see. I hope Viki will get around to ...

I saw a link on Tezuka in English to Viki Anime. Fumoon is up with english subs. http://www.viki.com/channels/5869/videos/59970 Other Tezuka Animes are on Viki, Astroboy 1980, Three Eyed one, Don Dracula, Black Jack, Marine Express. I've been waiting a long time for Fumoon. The Tezuak star system is...

Fred Ladd was familiar with the TV industry and he knew what he had to do to get the Tetsuwan Atom series accepted by the networks. Like it or not, there was still some anti-Japan feelings present in the US at the time and he had to hide any trace of the programs orgin. I suspect that he had to have...

My only frustration now is being able to view the "final 89" - the 1960's episodes that were never translated to English, and released outside of Japan. Some of the most incredible episodes are in that group. The boxed set of those eps was available from some asian websites, but something like $300...

With more and more un-dubbed content appearing on the web I'd like to pick up the language. Spoken Japanese is probably going to be easier to learn than written since reading the language presents two barriers one of a different character set and the syntax and language itself. (The only kanji I've ...

Hey I didn't know you're supposed to make up a name. I'm just using my real lastname with my first initial. But If I was to make up a user name I'd think I'd use RobotPenguin since I run Linux on my computers. (My computer Identifies itself on the Lan as Tetsuwan Penguin or Tetsuwan Borg depending o...

There was an episode in the Manga where Cobolt and Astro were in different schools and had to compete against each other in a combative sport. They get carried away and badly damaged each other. Dr. O. had to repair the damage and was very critical of them for being bad sports. I don't remember whic...

If I had the mad-money to spend on it, I'd buy the whole collection on DVD from Rite-Stuff. I understand that there are a few extras in there that were never seen on US TV including one colorized episode, one in a blue toned background, and the very last episode (not dubbed but with subtitles).

I vant to suck your blood!
