i remember when i was little, i was absolutely OBSESSED with astro boy, i used to be known as the girl that went around drawing pictures of him, my mum is constantly reminding me of those days saying "oh remember when you were obsessed with astro boy?" haha!
ASTRO BOY is the first long japanese Shounen TV Anime Series, Manga & Anime painted and created by the GOD FATHER of Manga & Anime: TEZUKA OSAMU Sama !!!!
This was in 1982, long before everything had to be 3D. Maybe you like everything in 3D, but honestly, I prefer the 2D stuff. To me, everything looks the same in 3D. Don't know how it comes. Maybe because everything is rendered with the computers instead of drawing it by hand ? :)
That's cute :-) I remember when we were kids we had all those cartoons on the TV that we watched. Sometimes we had to wait for hours to see them, but we couldn't wait until they were on. If I look back at them now, some of them were really kinda stupid, but still fun to watch. Not like what is on nowadays... They were more fun 15-20 years ago :D
I think you don't know the meaning of the word "manga". There's an entire page on wikipedia explaining the word, there's also an Astroboy page if you like to read about it :-) Not an attack on yourself, just more information concerning the matter.
U knew Osamu Tezuka creator of astro boy and so much more is called "God of Manga", that should make you ask yourself if u have a f***** idea about what manga is, or not
@CRTX16 the manga drawing style was created by Osamu Tezuka. He also created Astroboy as a manga series back in 1952. So, yes, Astroboy is indeed classed as manga and anime. It's just evolved over the decades to things like Bleach, Soul Eater and Naruto. But Osamu created manga as a cross between disney's big-eyed cartoons and standard Japanese art, which turned out as what you see here in this video.
I mean the theme song from the original black and white Astroboy cartoon from 1960. Adult Swim ran some of the episodes about a year ago. The theme song for that series rocked. Had more militant lyrics, like "Astroboy there you go, will you fight friend or foe?" Had more of a marching beat. I loved it. I'm looking forward to the new Astroboy movie from Imagi studios - I think it's coming out this year.
Always the same melodie, kind of sad, but good. Japanese animation always brings something more than entretainment. Astro boy makes you wonder about human nature, i mean when you watch it as a kid
I'll give credit for the movie using CG and using similar character designs. It is still a medium of animation not like some "other" live-action adaptation. I'm still bothered by the execution though, because it seems to be "westernized". Can't the Japanese make their own adaptation to another medium so as to retain that cultural uniqueness? It seems they do adaptations but don't go for international releases.
AstroBoy 1980 is the best. Though the picture isn't as good as the newer version, the characters are much better. AstroBoy1980 is truly brave, gentle and wise. The newer version's AstroBoy is too self-centered, giving off the feeling that he is too impulsive toward instant gratification. Does anyone know what I mean? I actually got shivers from watching the first episode and had to stop partway through because the new AstroBoy's character averted me so. And it didn't get better as I finished it.
This version(color) is the 1980's version. There was a previous monochrome version in the 1960's and a new remake in 2003, which is the one I was complaining about.
woo this show was so awesome growing up. the new one is shit tho. there was another show sort of like this like a red robot thing, his name was like magma or something? but they've re-made him in 3-d changed the shows name and plot and now it sucks too. :( love old astroboy
man i have this on dvd is relly good
