Has anyone heard of Astro Boy?

It was like the first manga to be made into an anime back in the 1960s, and they then made a series in the 1980s, and theres a 2003 series.

Its about a little robot who like can think for himself and has a mind of his own. And hes like the super hero in it. I recently got the box-set after seeing it at the october expo and remembering it from watching it when I was small. :)

Haven't seen the anime yet but I am working my way through the manga. I really like the strange and imaginative robots Astro Boy encounters. My favourite being the domino robots :D .

So the teaser trailer for the forthcoming American Astro Boy cgi film has been up for a while. Not to sure about the quality of the animation and there is an (unfounded) apprehension that he'll just be fight big scary robots most of the time.
But at least the first volume of Pluto, Naoki Urasawa 's liberal reinterpretation of Astro Boy came out this week so there's something to keep contented with.

what are you actually talking about? How about staying to the actual topic of conversation?

ANYWAY

yeaaahh...i do agree with that, but if (in my case) it was the first anime you saw and you were only, what? 6 to 10 years old, you'd think it's good.
Looking back now...
yeah, not so much. :wink:
sorry to all the other fans, but that's just my opinion
