I've got machine guns... in my butt?

they probably arent though, he has so much high power weaponry already it would make sense to go for something lighter with a higher rate of fire and ammo capacity

Nah, it's Finger Lasers, Arm Cannons, Ass Machinegun, X-Ray Vision, 100k Horsepower Strength, Jet boots, insta-translator and super hearing. Also, having read the manga collection by Dark Horse, Astro Boy got rebooted twice.

The movie was mild. An easy 6/10 (not actually bad but not something worth buying for over $5). It tried so hard to fit three whole generations of Astro Boy into a single film, so instead of being a love-letter like LEGO Batman, it's a directionless mess.

Depends on what story you decide to story time. Blue Knight, World's Strongest Robot and some other stories are pretty rough.

Its lukewarm and inoffensive. Just, meh.

Watch the 2003 anime series. The animation is god tier.

Are any of the non-Pluto Astro Boys worth a read? Not in a curiosity cheeky Silver Age kinda way.

Watch it subbed if you can. The dub jumps around a hell of a lot.

I'm assuming the ammo is caseless making it less bulky but given its also explosive to an extent a larger caliber to pack in more payload makes sense. Hard to tell tho given everything is stylized and the only frame of reference would be height.

And it's a cartoon about a robot boy.

Well, the stories are a variety. Sometimes you get a Silver Age style story...and then you get stuff like Blue Knight.

this movie could have been so good

I had never really watched or read Astro boy so it took me by surprise when the kid actually died. I thought he was a cyborg or something.

No, it's a replica of his dead son. It's pretty dark, even in the watered down movie version

so this is canonically in case someone tries to ass-rape him isn't it

tenma thought of everything

Tenma lost a son, he overcompensated making the robot duplicate of him, he is also a crazy scientist who probably thought it would be cool to arm Astro with all those weapons.

I'm not sure user, Astro had the fuel hole in his anus, it was weird.

Thank god no normies outside of Mauricio have touched Princess Knight

I can see how some normie fucker would ruin Princess Knight. Or Marvelous Melmo.

>ight imma head out

where else do you put a fuel hole?

Tezuka did dark stuff from time to time. Check out Alabaster, its a story about a black man who gets framed for the rape of his white girlfriend who rejected his marriage proposal and sicced her brothers on him to beat the shit out of him. In prison he meets a doctor who claims he can erase his skin color. Naturally, he becomes disturbingly translucent, breaks out and murders all his tormentors. Very progressive story for 60s Japan

Ah the 80's Astro Boy.

if that's his son imagine what his robowife blueprint looked like

Alabaster, MW, Ayako...Ayako's pretty fucked up. And then there's the anthology book, Clockwork Apple.

According to one Astro Boy reboot, Astro's mom was designed based on Tenma's wife. As in, Tenma broke into the Science Ministry, took the two unfinished robots and completed them himself. Odd that he didn't based the father on himself.

If you're gonna make a robot son to replace your dead flesh one the least you can do is make it the coolest most deadliest robot son ever, if not, what's the point of even trying?

Also on a slightly unrelated but tangentially related note I miss Atom The Beginning youtube.com/watch?v=rKXiea-9uB4

so we can add stepfordization and cuckoldry to his ever growing list of fettishes?

The ultimate pedo repellent.

I thought the movie was okay.

Did anyone else think Tobio's death was way darker and more upsetting in the movie, there was like nothing left. I know it's supposedly less violent than a car accident but I dunno, it seemed way more hardcore for some reason.

Well, according to Once Upon A Time Astro Boy (one of the many reboots to Astro Boy's origin), Tenma was feeling guilty about selling Astro away to Hamegg's Circus and not being there for his wife on his death bed that he wanted to give Astro the best parents he can have..implying that Tenma is aware he's a terrible parent.

Ah, Atom the Beginning. Where Tenma falls for a cross dresser.

all tenma had left was the hat

I remember the scene where finds his robot servant wearing the hat... that was one of the better moments in the movie

what if they try from the front

Finger beams and arm cannons.

I don't know, I think the 60's cartoon is still my favorite rendition of Tobi- er, I mean Aster Boyten's death.

Am I missing something here? Everyone keeps saying the English dub of Astro Boy 2003 is bad but holy fuck, is he annoyingly whiny and helpless in the original Japanese version.

I'm saying it's bad because 2003 dub jumps around the place in terms of pacing and episode placement.

So if they had the episodes in the right order, would you have liked it more?

And also replacing The King of Braves with..Greg Cipes for Atlas' voice.

Yes.

so is this before or after he made a 10 year old robo-boy need fuel enemas to live

Interesting. Is there a specific list of the chronological events to the show?

After he made Tobio.

Wikipedia actually listed it chronologically. If I recall Atlas' debut episode is in episode 6 but the dub have it be episode 3.

Also, my memory failed me but the dub replaced one episode with a clip show, I think.

His mouth?

>s

It killed the studio that made it. Which was a damn shame, since they were deep into production on a Gatchaman film and had a Tetsujin 28 movie lined up after that.

What's the pun here, anal?

Someone needs to convince the studio to release a 100% accurate, uncut and redubbed version of all 3 shows, in HD. This is the one anime that doesn't deserve an edit from the source material.

Well, the 60's version is gotta be hard to do ain't it?

After. Also most robots refuel through their ass.

It fucking *tried* its best, gave us possibly the only sympathetic version of Tenma (and Nic Cage gave a pretty great performance overall, honestly) but it unfortunately missed the mark.

is a pretty fair assessment, but the conflict driving the plot concerning a sky city bumping up its military R&D against basically helpless surface dwellers was also...awkward. Especially since a fucking monster shows up out of no where at the very end of the film; the fact fucking kaiju are lurking around is a far bigger threat the antagonists could capitalize on/justify making all the military hardware for instead of against a meager populace that lives in a junkyard who can't even make a garbage catapult to assault the sky people with.

I mean, the idea of military industrial grabbing up the use of *any* innovations in scientific progress is something Tezuka would build a story around, but the setting's reasons for it felt tacked on and not fleshed out.

The Tezuka encyclopedia in Omega Factor was so good.

Oh, yeah, Jetter Mars was a thing.

I almost, almost want to know how badly they would fuck with a modern version of Princess Knight. If it was produced by burgers she would probably become Non-Binary Royalty Knight.

(facepalm) Princess Sapphire was magically endowed to be the only person who could possibly be binary. Both of them. Without trying to live in a state of fragile mental make-believe. Those people do not make for a good audience about a story of hero fighting to save the oppressed from actual oppression, that would be too shocking for the non-binary-wannabes.

Based 2009 movie for mocking robots that think they should be equal to people.

I mean it did have Astro actually remember being a human and then realizing he’s just a robot clone with memories implanted.

Basically Robocop but somehow more fucked up cause it’s a kid.

Going solely by Metropolis (manga), I don't think Tezuka was anti-sex change.

Dude was a massive perv it's up to you to decide user.

Fuck this movie

It's a commentary on fucked up human rules being imposed on robots so it's probably that societal standards are fucked up.

Ultimate unexpected weapon, no one is gonna walk up to a fucker and worry about his ass shooting, not a sane man or even machine in the universe.
but the real reason is he has an excuse to show his ass off to everyone

Robocop has the implications that Robocop is actually Murphy brought back to life as a zombie/cyborg machine of kickass fury hell a lot of the film has him realizes everything that he lost as Murphy and accepting his existence as Robocop, Astro boys just a robot programmed to think he was a dead kid

Not bad at all, it just kinda misses parts of Astro Boy's original appeal. It still had tons of potential it unfortunately never really flashes out, Astro actually being just Tobio in a robot body instead of Astro being his own entity entirely is a fantastic concept for an AU story.

Most people do.

How so?

You glorious bastard

Attached: wink.png (640x360, 209K)

Ain’t that even more existentially fucked up? At least Murphy has the comfort of knowing who he is, Astro Boy is a machine that thinks it’s a 12 year old up to including all his memories and feelings, but realizes that not only is he just a machine, he’s a machine of a corpse that his dad made out of pure madness. And then abandoned.

Robocop is more fucked up in its execution, but I’d imagine that’s way more traumatic to a poor kid.

I think it's okay. Not great, not bad. Probably not the first thing you want to watch if you're brand new to Astro Boy though, there's a lot of other, better content to start with.

Well if you're making a robot son, you may as well give him all that shit

Whatever happened to that new Astro Boy series that teased at in 2015? youtube.com/watch?v=Z240pys_D4A

It's being worked on, albeit very slowly. No set release date yet, sadly, but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't been cancelled.

Anti-anal rape defense system.

That was one strong indicator that trying to Americanize Astro Boy was a terrible idea. He winds up stopping the whole movie to notice that.

I hope the Pluto anime they've announced doesn't ALSO become vaporware.

The dubbed version of Astro Boy 2003 moved the episodes around and replaced one episode with a clip show.

Poor Jetter Mars. He's basically a better Astroboy (has emotions, can actually grow up etc.) but Tezuka lost interest 27 episodes in.

In fairness, the episode removed was done solely because copyright issues. The moving around bit has no excuse though.

Same. Pluto was pure kino. There's also some super-edgy Year Zero thing coming out too, isn't there?

Never forget about Black Jack.

Melmo the age changing girl. That story with the invisible woman and Rock deserves a OAV. And this might be a good time for Astrogirl/Uran/Sara to have a 12ep series. She could partner up with Livian. Though I don't know what they could do aside from solve crimes and minor disasters. Livian works in secret to rebuild Atlas from backup. Uran wants to get out there and use her super strength, which is probably her only useful power. Maybe they can help rebuild Nuku, Astro's first love, or have reoccurring drop ins on one of Astro's other brothers.

Yep, Tezuka did hentai.

Have they ever adapted Ayako?

Ah yes, the Blue Knight arc. Made when Tezuka was forced to have Atom/Astro be an anti-hero because goody two shoes aren't popular. Guess "dark and edgy" thing has been around way before the 80's huh?

You should check out Yoshihiro Tatsumi and other gekiga artists if you want to see Tezuka's edgier work was a response to.

Ratchet and Clank made the joke years ago, and that was an american game

I mean I remember there were little juts in his hips where the guns came out. Eventually they just came straight from his asscheeks.

Not very good but has some heart to it especially with Tobey death, although later scene can have some fun dark comedy like how the peacekeeper robot immediately murders the jackass president and assumes his personality it’s kinda a fun way to upgrade the main villain while actually murdering the real one so he’s basically a giant evil Astro

One of the best GBA games. So much fun. Shame about the PS2 game released around the same time. Sonic Team's worst game imo. Even 06 had more reedeming qualities.

The movie had some heart, but it was a mess. Tries way too hard to be funny and american, political message feels forced, too many subplots and the tone balance between comedy and seriousness is Gravity Falls levels of bad. I did like the action scenes and setting, gave me Big Hero 6 vibes. Shame that Imagi Studios went bankrupt tho. I liked TMNT.

Fuck you.

It's bizarre how it tried to "Americanize" Astro Boy when it's already so heavily western-inspired. People like the original for a reason, they really didn't need to change it so drastically.

I think you're talking about the Scara arc of the manga. It was Ochanomizu who created Atom's parents though, not Tenma.

Makoto Tsumura is a much less shrill actress than the woman who played Atom for 40 years before that. How does Atom sound whiny and helpless? The director(s) focused on emotions a lot more than the other animated series, but also made sure the fight choreography was way better as well. Atom is very balanced in 2003, imo.

He had memories implanted in the 2003 version as well, just far fewer of them. It's weird that a series so focused on his emotions just kind of glossed over it.

>that episode where a beta fag with a shallow interest in the valedictorian coerces atom into helping him woo her
>atom is actually on the girl's level and completely understands her while beta fag remains oblivious
>she blames atom for lying to her at the end

That episode should have been different.

I was talking about the story post "Once Upon A Time" Astroboy Tales from vol 8. While Ochanomizu had the frames, Tenma completed them, even designing the Astro's mom based on his wife. Even calling her by his wife's name, Hoshie Tenma.

And apparently Tenma met his future wife...when she's a kid. Guess she did like the nose.

Here's Bacon Egg...no word on Lamp or Skunk showing up yet.

Superior Nazi tech

Shame they ditch the 50 cal machine gun for a solar lamp..but it makes sense.

He just used that in that specific situation, i think he went back to actual weapons in Stalingrad.

Also, Tenma and Ochanomizu have a habit of yanking each other's noses.

I really got the feeling that Ochanomizu was always supposed to be Tenma's senior. He even calls him Tenma-kun at times. Atom The Beginning was a lot of fun but I don't buy that they were ever intended to be the same age.

Also, kinda liked that the main rival bot for A-106 is basically Jetter Mars

I was wrong, Skunk did show up.

It’s a ok movie but I was surprised how quickly some characters just get killed Toby got fucking vaporized and the president murdered and his likeness stolen, other than that the VA work was mostly good especially with cage as Tenma which worked as an odd fit but I wish the studio could’ve done that Gatchaman movie because that would’ve been awesome

I remember watching this just a bit back. Wasn't great but had its moments, and easily could've led into an animated series.

Its just how scientists build their robots.

Doctor Light had weapons prepared for Megaman, despite not installing them right away.
Doctor Fujiyama built Nightbird as a pacifist, but filled her full of ninja weapons and even presented her to the public while she was holding nunchucks.

There’s a guy in Japan in real life who builds giant robots for rich people. His own personal one is armed with tennis ball shooters.
When the Obama Administration in the US demanded information on robotics research done by private companies, they found that some firms were testing AI with live ammunition in research facilities, just like in Terminator 3.

If you’re gonna build a robot, it has to look human, have weapons, or look cool. None of which are mutually exclusive.

Doctor Fujiyama just wanted a robot ninja waifu

Fuck, her being so cute in this just makes it even more heartbreaking to know what happens to her in the original manga.

I don't know about 4kids-tier, but it was kind of bad at times. Astro was way too snarky, which doesn't really fit his character at all.

A show about a kid trying to cope with his sociopathic dad manipulating him was censored to hell and eventually because apparently Japan can handle that but America can't. It was most certainly a 4kids tier dub.

Even the movie never got a release because it was allegedly too existential for our kiddos.

How could there is comfier thread about Astro on Yea Forums rather than on Yea Forums?

Ironically enough Yea Forums likes Astro Boy way more than Yea Forums does. I've never seen an Astro Boy thread there last more than a dozen posts.

Because Astro Boy isn't exactly Yea Forums material. It's a little too deep for the chronic masturbaters.

Astro Boy isn't Yea Forums, it's /m/. And not because it has robots.

*eventually cancelled

You know IDW did a comic adaptation of the movie?

Well to be fair my knowledge about Astro Boy is from the 2003 anime and pop culture meme. Maybe the same are also correct? Not many people on Yea Forums actually read the source manga? I might just projecting though. I never read any of Ozamu Tezuka works, only knows about them a bit like Kimba, BlackJack.

Then why user?

Which movie? And yeah one good thing about Tezuka's work...even when it's made for kids it never talked down to its audience.

>mama mia! Papa, it's a getting spicy in here

I'd say Yea Forums gravitates more towards older media, the "classics", than Yea Forums always chasing flavors of the month. We'll still discuss new issues/episodes, but half the threads will be about cartoons from the 00s, or comic issues from the 90s, or animated films from the 60s, etc.

I think you got it right. Unless it's currently ongoing, I seem to rarely see them discuss too many anime/manga that began production before the last 90s, unless tits are involved.

He probably added those things in so he wouldn't have to watch his son die again

Don't you mean Megaman?

Unfortunately...Astro Boy died a lot of times. And depends on which story you're following some of them are final. The 60's anime? He died in The Greatest Adventure. The manga? He died in "Once Upon A Time Astro Boy"...ironically on the day of his birth (it was some time travel shenanigans, Astro Boy wound up in 1960's/70's)

It's baffling when even the fucking 60s dub was able to handle it but not 03 apparently.

Guess folks in 03 are more sensitive than the folks in the 60's.

because 4kids and Saban did set the "standard" and for kids shows and toyemon anime's, nothing has changed.

Atom vs Igza. Was only ever released In Japan in IMAX, no digital or DVD release. It was allegedly not localized because it was too much like GiTS, and given that that's a Jap property and would therefore be unlikely to be a copyright issue, that leaves the actual subject matter to consider.

>Atom The Beginning
How have i never heard of this? Well time to watch it

Forgot to mention, because of the lack of release, it's lost media. A 2005 movie of one of the most popular characters ever, classified as lost media. Tezuka Pro is bafflingly bad at distributing their animation.

Or read it...that works too.

It's pretty good, it's neat seeing a ternary takes on Astro.

Eh. They're better as a sibling relationship, fag

Well, more of a take on Tenma and Ochanomizu. A-106 is his own character as is U-Ran (A-107). But it is the closest thing we got to Jetter Mars meets Astro Boy.

Oh yeah, Saban did wonders for standards...that was sarcasm by the by.

user, that's grownup Dororo
Back to tumblr

Tumblr? user, they left Tumblr...it's a ghost town now.

The Phoenix movie won one of the very first American Anime Awards decades ago. Nobody white but the eldest of weebs remembers it now. And you sure won't find any of those on Yea Forums anymore. Maybe a decade ago on /m/

Oh shit, I just realized that's adult Dororo and not Mio. They look so similar it has to be intentional.

I watched this whole playthrough on a massive nostalgia trip.
For bringing back some long forgotten memories of happiness, I want to thank you, user

Then go back to discord

It really wasn't censored THAT much. The themes were still heavily present in the dub, though yeah they were toned down.

Funny guy, Carlos. You should take that on the road.

Well I can certainly understand why you'd be sensitive to mockery.

IIRC Tezuka was a massive pervert. He was into furry, gay incest, pedophilia, the entire package.

Gay Incest? What, you mean MW?

MEGA MAN COMES AFTER

No you're just retarded and don't understand the redundancy of having a character have full mastery over her power yet still goes to a school made to train it.

youtube.com/watch?v=biG3OUtrj3M

It's supposedly coming in 2020 but I won't hold my breath.

I'm pretty sure MW didn't have incest. Unless he's thinking of something else I assume someone mistook the translation of "Father" to be literal and not a religious title.

When's that western adaptation of the main series gonna come out?
it was just the one advert and then fucking nothing
