Good ol' Astro Boy! My mother was a big fan of Astro Boy when she was a kid, and I have inherited that! I am currently collecting the Astro Boy manga from Darkhorse Comics. I was very excited to hear that the new Astro Boy show is currently showing on Toonami. It just started last week. This show is very different from the originals (which I think I like better) since Osamu Tezuka was not involved in it's creation. What do you all think of Astro Boy?

The anime that started it all...so yeah, for sentiment, astro boy is cool--however, for the americanized version, i'm biased against it but maybe if I do see 1 episode then maybe Astro Boy 2003 will be good...

anyways, the Japanese Intro sounds good...it was done by one of my favorite JPop artists

I still have yet to see anything about Astro Boy ...

Wasn't it the acclaimed first anime ever?

It pretty much is the first anime ever, although, it wasn't called anime then. It was animated manga... or something silly like that.

No, no, I understood. The characters and stuff in the show are very old school styled... the show is new though! Well... this version of it anyway. I reccomend it to any anime fan!

Considering I only remember 1 episode of Astro Boy classic from my time as a kid, I'm glad to see the new Astro Boy series being shown. It's rather good, and the intro is just awesome.

Well I've been waiting for almost a year. The new one was made on the 40th anniversary of the original which was in spring 2003. I'd say that it does do the old one justice.

i haven't seen it. but it's all because of the new sega games.

you know something's popular when not only do they show it on canadian networks, but they put it on at a decent hour and advertize it every 5 seconds. (****ing YTV, get gundam! ****ing bell expressvu! get me cartoon network!)

Um no, it ISN'T because of the new sega games. Astro Boy(the new one) was made LAST YEAR (just went over this), and the games are coming out later this year. Also, Dororo is based on a manga by Tezuka. And Tezuka passed away many years ago.
