What Is That Green Band On Astro?

[PsychoShinji]

LOL, I'd always been under the impression that the belt is where the ammo for his butt/hip guns is stored! I'm not entirely sure, but I recall reading *somewhere* (of course the source could have just been someone speculating him/herself about it) about the belt feeding his guns. Makes some sense, as the belt is sometimes drawn a little bit thick like it could store the belt of ammo. In any case, I completely agree that he would look very odd without the belt! Another thought- sometimes the belt is rendered with a green rectangular buckle, while other times it appears to just be a shiny green band. Very interesting...

On a technical note, if the belt were pink, it could be mistaken as Astro's skin.

I believe it was Fred Schodt who said that Atom had been modeled on Superman or Mighty Mouse, yes, it is on page 47.

SO THERE WAS A 60'S "THE GREATEST ROBOT IN THE WORLD" EPISODE! hmy: Oh man! That means it isn't dubbed or subbed. And that's my favorite episode. I'm so depressed. I think I need to take a trip to the mall and spend a few bucks.

Across the pond? Is that slang for over seas, or something? If you find it, let me know. I don't care if it's not subbed. Believe it or not, I can understand a bit in Japanese, I just can't speak it fluently.

Kinda. It's a phrase I picked up from my dad. xP (I guess it's airforce talk, lol).

If I happen to come across any episodes that were not dubbed, I'll be sure to throw them at you (so you can tell me what's going on in them! HURH.)
