Never thought I'd see the day when someone views characters as actors. If someone held a similar philosophy, they would not make it in this world.[/QUOTE]"astarisborn94" wrote:[QUOTE=F-Man;165731]Adam is close in pronunciation to Atom in both English and Japanese. So there you go for his name.
As far as universes go in Tezuka fiction, you just have to know that he viewed his characters as actors. There is actually a whole universe in Tezuka's mind where they just play roles, get paid, and talk to their producer Tezuka himself. In that universe, they played roles for the Marine Express movie as well as their more regular roles in their respective ongoing series.
Do you mean that Tezuka did not make it in this world?
