FAQ:
When is Astro Boy Reboot going to be released?
There is currently no release date for Astro Boy Reboot.
Previously, there was a magazine article from 2015 posted on Shibuya Productions' Facebook page that shared an article from a French publication regarding Astro Boy Reboot, and how the show was planned to be released in 2016. The 2016 release never came to be. The link to that magazine article has unfortunately been lost to time.
According to Shibuya Productions president Cedric Biscay, from a November 2015 French video interview, Astro Boy Reboot was being planned to debut on TV stations sometime in the "back-to-school period in 2017". This would've put the release date for Astro Boy Reboot somewhere in Fall 2017 (the September to December time frame). This video is no longer available online.
Two Nikkei Style articles from April 2016 and May 2016 reported that Astro Boy Reboot would be released worldwide in 2018, starting first in France and then going next to developed/industrialized countries. However, the 2018 release never came to be. You can view these articles in the first and second links below.
The most recent update on Astro Boy Reboot's release date is from a tweet from Shibuya Productions on January 23, 2018 in a reply to a fan asking when to expect more news on Astro Boy Reboot: Shibuya Productions said not to expect Astro Boy Reboot on our screens in 2018. You can view this tweet in the third link below.

What is the target audience for Astro Boy Reboot?
The target audience is "8+", particularly 8-12 year old kids (6-11 according to Caribara Animation).
What will the story be in Astro Boy Reboot?
There is a synposis on Shibuya Productions' Astro Boy Reboot page:
The story is about a small, powerful robot convinced that he would have to become a little boy, in order to be loved.
However, he is extremely rational, logical and strong. He does not know how to lie or how to play …. in short - he really is not a little boy!
Yet he has emotions, even if he doesn’t know how to manage them. Through his adventures with his two human friends, Fubuki and Akino,
Astro is going to learn how to accept himself just the way he is - with all his weaknesses … and strengths.
Astro Boy Reboot's producers have the right to create a completely new story. As the Variety article states: "The retread will be set in the present and boast a contemporary design, targeting new generations of kids. It will incorporate new characters and combine positive things from the past version and new elements."

Also in the Monaco Anime Game International Conferences 2016 promotional poster, a robot with a line of text on his chest that reads either "I4M3S" or "J4M3S" is a new character of some sort that will appear. A final cast list for the series has not been revealed yet.

I am curious to see more about this upcoming new series. Hopefully we get more details soon because this may be something I want to see.
The world needs more Tezuka cartoons.
Though, I try to be more open-minded about it and accept it as an "interesting stage of my life". 
I'm on Fanfiction.net as Tetsuwan Penguin. Please check out some of the other stories I've written!
