zeus the zentran Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 I heard the new Astroboy is airing on WB this month.Anyone know when exactly.I saw the first episode at Anime North in Canada in May of 2002 when the head of Tezuka productions was there.It was dubbed for the review audience.I have to say I was impressed.I wish they would bring the old black and white ones to dvd.And what's up with the 80's version being just on vhs?Is Manga entertainment on crack or something?And I also would like to see Tezuka's Kama Sutra brought over here I bet that would be a hell of a read.I love his Buddha comic a heck of a lot.

ManxoChu Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I believe it's on Jan 17. The time I'm not sure. My little sister didn't seem impressed, comparing Astro Boy to MegaMan... forgive her naivety. I, however, was floored by what I saw. Very smooth animation. A number of things are going on, on the 17th. ....including that hackjob of the Rockman EXE anime... T_T ....but let's not go there... *sniffle* Curse you, ShoPro!!!!!! T_T Quote
zeus the zentran Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 Where did you see it?Were you at Anime North? Quote
ManxoChu Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I wish... I saw the teaser commercials they were showing on the WB. Unlike MegaMan NT Warrior (X_x), the dubbing actually sounds good. *prepares to gets stoned/flamed about dubbing* Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Actually I did a review of this on the old MW board(May 27 2002,22:08). Astroboy was shown not at Anime North but a day after that convention at the JCCC( in collaboration w/AN). There was a showing of Tezuka's a bunch of other anime and an Astroboy memorabilia auction. I snagged the Astroboy swatch watch. I'm still annoyed they didn't release Astroboy on his birthday in NA co-currently with the Jp Astroboy release. They obviously had a few episodes already dubbed.(and I agree, it was actually good!) Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 And the JCCC newsletter clipping. I've also got the poster and the astroboy giftwrap paper. Just too lazy to get them out and scan them. Quote
zeus the zentran Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 i remember that tezuka productions was at the japan cultural center the day after anime north ended. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Newsflash for you Cdn Astroboy fans: YTV: the new Astroboy is showing Sat. 3:30pm. Woohoo!!!! Quote
