Astro Media!

i would love if ur speculation was right, i've seen the first episode but it was still in japanese with subtitles. after seeing it i cant wait . it looks really awesome.
i just hope it doesnt come to pay tv first, like most shows they never come to public tv.

how about in the philippines, i would really love it if it will be shown in tagalog..anyways, is there filipino here?

No doubt the new series will appear on Philippine television, but it's anyone's guess whether it will be dubbed into Tagalog, or even what channel it will be on. No doubt it will be shown at some point though. Astroboy is historically a major title in Anime and they've already shown one of the older series of it (the 80s series I presume, in English).

I don't know if that's old info for you. I found it interesting anyway! I'm in Australia and it seems we get less variety of anime that the Philippines.

yeah, it's been shown here in the Philippines late 80's, followed it closely when i was a kid. one of my favorite shows then, it was dubbed in english.

the recent dubbing into Tagalog of many anime series shown here like Yuyu Hakusho and Slam Dunk put anime closer to the Filipino audience. many twenty and thirty-somethings here practically grew up with big robot cartoons like Voltes V and of course the 'little big one', Astroboy.

Despite Atom's popularity,




Ryo-ohki has taken first place in the competition for non-human character at the Anime-Expo Show in Los Angeles.

Yeah but that's the USA, where people are ... uh, you're not from the USA are you?

[jeffbert]

As I just finished saying in the other topic, I hate when they forbid remote linking! But I can see why they do it. B)

Yes, I am from the USA. When Yesterdayland was up, I could not find Astroboy's color remake anywhere. I do not think it even aired here. So, if this contest was local to the US, I can see why Atom might not have taken the top spot. Only overthehillers such as I remember him from the B&W series.

:huh: I don't know whether this is in the right topic but does anyone know where I can find sound bites of Astro talking?? I was mainly after him saying things like "hi............." , "bye"& general stuff like that. Any suggestions??

[dennis_ian]
