5 FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT ASTRO BOY

The 2003 animated TV series is what I’m most familiar with. That’s the one that I was raised on as a 2000 born baby.

1. Astro Boy’s first appearance was in 1951 in Captain Atom in which he held a supporting role, before being given his own series.

2. Astro Boy originally started off fighting crime with seven powers: jet powered flight, analytical skills, multilingualism, super hearing, headlight eyes, hidden weapons in his back and the ability to tell if a person is good or evil. Since then though more powers have been added to his repertoire.

  1. That was a very good list. I’m mainly familiar with the 03 remake, too. That’s right about Tezuka creating Black Jack and Kimba the White Lion. I watched the latter for the first time a few years ago because I wanted to know how much The Lion King ripped it off.

      1. Nice! Black Jack was good even though I was mainly familiar with the 00s TV series. I heard the original OVAs and movies were great, too. Kimba is the one I’ve been more immersed to over the past few years recently.
