Astroboy is wearing swim trunks that were popular in the 1950s in Japan. The swim trunks with a belt.

You gotta hand it to them for putting in a ton of nods to the 1960's American version, though.

I used to love Astro Boy when I was around 4 or so, then one morning it simply wasn't on anymore. That was about 1968! I had the smallest of memories of it and was actually really happy when i heard that Adult Swim would be showing it again. I had to laugh at just how weird and goofy it was to see so many years later!
Just watching the opening made me think hard about what little I remembered about it. I was happy to see an old favorite show again though.
That "propaganda" as you call it, was all in the original cartoon. That's what made it stand above other anime of the period. If peace, fellowship, cooperation between seemingly divergent groups of beings and an anti-pollution message are "propaganda" then I am glad kids are being exposed to it. We could use a little of that right now.
