:huh: The forum became unavailable while I was working on this topic, but here it is:
:wahah: I just saw the first two discs of the new Kimba DVD set, and Astroboy appeared in episodes on both. In the first one (episode 4, I think) Kimba goes to Paris France with :wahah: Daddy Walrus (although he only goes by his proper name, Mr. Pompus). As they are touring the city, they walk past a display of "Future Robots", that has an inanimate Astroboy on the very end of the line.
The other one has hunters sitting in a tent watching an Astroboy cartoon on tv. I really cracked up. Both Astroboy and Kimba share the same facial features, and the English dubs share Billie Lou Watt's voice, and here is the Kimba series bowing to its predecessor series!
Moreover the Robot Circus ringmaster Catchatorie is here as Viper Snakely, the big game hunter, who kills Kimba's father, and returns in later episodes for more trouble.
