It is sad that they did leave LAB out of the history, but I think because LAB was such a niche series that only aired in Nigeria, people aren't really aware of it. Though in that case, it is odd that Go Astro Boy Go was initially also called Little Astro Boy.
Dr. Elefun was also referred to as Dr. Elephant in the descriptions.
Yeah, I noticed that mistake as well. They call him Dr Ochanomizu near the end of the publication too.
I have a feeling they'll call him Professor Elefun in the English and French versions, and Dr Ochanomizu in the Japanese version.
It looks like Astro won't have the fanny guns and lasers.
Probably because GABG will focus more on the educational side of things rather than the action.
Not sure if Dr. Blunt is based on Dr. Tenma.
I've thought that since Blunt was first revealed. He resembles Tenma quite a bit. It begs the question then of why they didn't just use Tenma then, but perhaps Planet Nemo wanted to make their series a little more unique.
Are the Gordskis supposed to be Hyotantsugi?
Yup! They even refer to the Gourdskis as the "gourd-shaped creatures that first appeared in Tezuka's original comic books".
I wonder when the first episode will be aired, and where can we see it?
That still has yet to be revealed. I'm thinking they might have a deal in place for where the show will air, but the channel or digital service that will show it hasn't announced it yet. I have a feeling that announcement will come soon.
