For me, I first heard about Osamu Tezuka and Astro Boy when I saw the New Adventure of Kimba the White Lion commercials included on the old Pokemon VHS tapes. I also noticed that the commercial said that Kimba was created by Osamu Tezuka, who made Astro Boy. At the time, I didn’t know what Ast...

Mari Shimizu did Atom in both the '63 and '80 series under Tezuka. I just checked on Google, I hadn't realized she did both of the first two series. BTW, it seems that every time I find a "Bio" or an "Obit" on a Japanese web site, they always give the person's blood type. That's a little TMI IMHO, ...

I wish that was the case but there is a rant about her name in the Wikipedia entry.

I checked the history of the Wikipedia entries and I have an hunch on who was the one responsible for doing this.

I saw the name of that user AprilSeven was talking about and I won't be surprised if it was him.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about this episode is that Mars, Miri and Dr. Kawashimo used their strength to help Saromi. It’s really nice to see them working together. It was especially nice to see Miri use her ability to restore broken machinery after a long while of not using it. Correct me if I...

I just have a few questions to ask. Has anyone in the US rented the Vindex set of episodes yet? Does it still work? Is it legit? And how exactly do you view the episodes? Is it online like with Netflix, or does it download into your computer? And after the 30 day rental is over, does it just delete...

I didn't really write anything here yet, so this a good way to start. I remember my first experience involving Astro Boy was when I watched the first few episodes of the 1980 English dub. My favorite version of it is a tie between the 60's version and the Japanese dub of the 80's version. But if Je...

So Astro and Mars appeared together on that New Year's card (along with a lot of other Tezuka characters). Hmm, what copyright issues! Or did the problem only exist for Anime, not Manga? The copyright issue that Tezuka faced was fairly complex. Jetter Mars was intended to be a “sequel-remake ...

I recognized some of these pictures; I’ll do my best to explain them. The first picture of what looks like an “Uran copy” is actually just Uran. She just has a similar “outfit” to Astro Boy (kind of what happened in Pluto arc). I’m very sure this picture is official as it includes the official Mushi...
