go watch a Japanese anime...anything. assume you have Cartoon Network. go watch the Gundam 00 or Fullmetal Alchemist in English Dub and then go watch the same exact episode in it's original Japanese with subs. I'm sure you will understand the difference and find the English dub amazingly stupid and all the voice actor has no emotions.
I've watched plenty of Japanese animes and they some of the stupidest shit in the world on them. First of all, the two you just named are subpar animes and so is Astrofag.
Wow, do we really have to go through all this. Naruto (great anime....really stupid shit sometimes), Bleach (great anime....really stupid shit sometimes. Same with almost every other anime. It's the Japanese way.
Oh, and Gundam is just plain stupid. Very hard to keep up with that shit when there is like a thousand different versions. FMA was good every once in a while, but it has alot of episodes that put you to sleep. I guess those could come in handy if I need help sleeping.

There is Gundam Wing, Gundam 00, Gundam Seed, Gundam Fuck Me In The Ass Because This Is Getting old. Yes, it's hard to keep with with the thoudands of different versions. It's for fags like you obviously. "Wahhh, I wanna watch Astrofag in Japanese". Lmfao, get a life.
LMFAO. you obviously have not seen a lot of animes judging from the list you mentioned. All of them were on Cartoon Network one time or another with shitty English dubs.
Watched all of Bleach up to where the Vizards and most of Soul Society is about to take on Aizen. Watched a hell of a lot of Naruto Shippuden. If CN is that far into it then holy shit.....that was fast.
Oh and yes. I am definiately an idiot for stating that I enjoyed an anime. In no way, shape, or form did I say, "Well compared to the manga....this anime fit it exactly and is therefore great". Dumbass.
This is actually a pretty good representation of astroboy, asthetically. Sure everything isn't EXACTLY the same in every microscopic way, in my opinion it doesn't look bad though. Then again I may be the minority, espescially sense I thought the Speed Racer Movie was excellent. You guys are forgetting that even with anime it is the people doing a good job behind it and keeping the spirit of the anime that trully matters, not like shitty DB Evolution movie, ICH!
Hah I bet they're "americanising" almost everything Japanese today because of the success that they had with "Speed Racer". Remember it? It was actually a popular anime series way before Dragon Ball and Naruto was born.
Yeah I guess.. *sighs*by the I just realised now that almost everything from animation to games that are made in Japan are being taken by USA and americanising them into movies. You know? Dragon Ball Oak Evolution, Legend of Chun Li, Zelda and now this one?
One thing is the story, but another thing is the visual appearance of the characters. The movie might be faithful to the story, but from what I have seen from this trailer, it is not faithful to the characters' intended appearance. Just look at Dr. Elefun - does he look like Dr. Elefun? NO NO NO! Where's his characteristic elephant nose? Nowhere to be seen! The movie got rid of what really identified him as Dr. Elefun - his nose. And Dr. Tenma - does he look like Tenma? NO! Not anymore.
So, what matters is not just the story, but also the visual appeal - remember, Tezuka wasn't a novelist, but a manga artist, where BOTH story AND art have equal weight or importance. If the movie is faithful to the original story but not to the original art, then it is not faithful to Tezuka's original work. Period.
In other words, this movie sucks, even more than the 2005 anime. Indeed, the 2005 anime didn't suck - it was Sony America's (Columbia/Tristar's) handling of it that sucked.
In the original story, Dr. Tenma, then director of the Institute of Science, created Astro Boy to replace his dead son, but was unsatisfied with it because it was unable to grow so he sold it to a robot circus. Something then happened to Tenma that he left his director position, and Dr. Elefun, who was not involved with the creation of Astro, took over the vacant. He later attended a robot circus event and spotted Astro there, then he bought it back upon spotting the apparent robot abuse there.
So, in other words, this movie screwed up the origin of Astro Boy by putting both Tenma and Elefun together, something that never happened in the original story. So far the only two Astro Boy productions that are largely faithful to the original manga story are the 1963 Japanese anime (the American version did some plot and location changes, in addition to the name changes) and the 1983 color anime.
Good looking CGI. However In moving him into the 3-D realm, the producers should have done a more faithful transcription of Astro's original character design. The Americanized look is not really working all that well with me.
By 'Americanized' he means that this movie; Astroboy which was originally a japanese cartoon (aka anime) is now beign made by America, therefore Americanised.
I agree.. I remember watching Astroboy and collecting his figures when I was a kid.. this is too americansied for me too
I understand that this is going to be produced by an american production crew,but I still dont really see anything thats been changed from his original design.
But now that you mention it,his face looks a little uh...eh I dunno weird.And im really skeptical about the idea of that little bastard from "charle and the chocolate factory " voicing him.
Yeah me too...Freddie Highmore huh?... he's not bad but I'm worried about the other character's voices too. I think Astro's just wearing clothes because he's going to school or something but the voice is definitely shocking to look at..ihis face reminds me of Monster House and Polar Express which by I think Dreamworks produced this..just hope that they don't change the original story
Also, from that trailer, I have noticed that Dr. Elefun has lost his characteristic "elephant nose", so the Elefun name will no longer make sense. As I said, this should've been left to the Japanese, only to those who really know and remember Tezuka's graphical work.
The only failure in this pergectly succesful Jvpanese series is that THIS MOVIE in "american". How Japanese people accepted to give this wonderful masterpiece to "them"?!.
I can't imagine how astroboy is going to sout and scream like a typical american monkey.
Guys I'm also tired of WILL SMITH movies. SO american. Why don't they engage some european touches in order the movies to be more succesful?
