The US has seen little of both shows(a dub of the 2003 Astro Boy remake aired on KidsWB, but I think it was cancelled), but the original Astro Boy dub is currently airing on Adult Swim. Foreshadowing maybe?

I'm curious to see as to how the Gatchaman is gonna turn out.

Been a long time since I've seen that series.

 

[Archimedes]

All I can say about this is: ****. YES.

While I'm not entirely behind the idea of an American made Astro Boy or Gatchaman film, I'm still rather positive towards it. And the inclusion of Paul Dini makes me even happier. The man is a nerd god.

WHY THE **** DOES NO ONE SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN THIS?!

Because everyone else is too into their Narutard crap. Most of these kids don't watch anime that wasn't made in the late '90s or early '00s.

CGI Astro Boy movie seems to be a friggen AWESOME idea if done right.

Weeaboos today don't respect their past. Another way Naruto and Inuyasha have ruined anime.

Astroboy, Fxck Yeah.
Even if it is American made, IDC, I'm going to see it., hopefully convert some friends too [:

xxxo.

Was apprehensive at first, considering it's among the TMNT movie, but I gave the IMAGI website a visit and it seems like they're staying true to Tezuka's. Can't argue with that.

If it's done right, it'll be brilliant.

Both quoted for truth.

This is going be awesome. Fact that Paul Dini involve make me wanna see it even more.

 

[Erus Black Mage]

I'm going to go see it.

The question is... are they even available?

Yes, but they're ****ing expensive. Otherwise, I'd buy them.

I should go hunting on eBay or at Deepdiscount for them.

It seems like lately Tezuka's stuff has become overcharged.

When I went to the Tezuka exhibit at the San Francisco Art Museum, everything was super overpriced...I mean, $60 for an Astroboy T-shirt...eeep! The excuse the storepeople at the museum gave was that it had to be imported from Japan. But, since I import a lot of stuff from Japan, even with EMS shipping, $60 for a flimsy shirt was far too high.

But, I recommend the exhibit anyways. Lots of original artwork that was used in the production of predecessors of Shounen Jump magazines.

But, on topic...I am looking forward to seeing Astroboy in CGI.

Amazon is selling two boxsets containing the complete(by which I mean all surviving episodes) U.S. dub from the mid 60's, with a ****ton of extras for a good hundred-fifteen bucks a pop. They also have the complete 2003 series for $30, but it's only the English dub, and fifty episodes on five discs can't be good for visual quality. I'll probably pick it up though, for I lurved the 2003 series. They have the 80's series as well for $35, only in English though. Are there R1 releases with the Japanese versions?

I am saddened by this.

 

[Skiks]

My heart bleeds, knowing this....

I weep, my friend. I weep.

I'm just glad that his name is finally started to get recognition in the United States. I mean, manga is a growing subculture over here, and fans don't even know who the God who practically made it what it is today even is!

Oh, and yeah, kind of/sort of looking forward to Astro Boy in CG.

Hopefully this turns out great and not suck completely.
