Random Observations

[Astro Forever]

It's interesting... There are scientists that keep showing up with Elefun in various episodes, among them the one on the left:





Yet the only place I can recall him talking is in The Runaway Subway Train! :wahah:



(At least to me it looks like him.)

It looks like the 2 of them are the same person, but the nose seem not to have exactly the same size

I agree, it's why I added that last sentence... :huh:

But then even Astro is drawn differently from one episode to the other. <_< Or even within a single episode sometimes! :wacko:

Even with one characteristic changed, they still have Spectacles way out on the end of his nose, lenses same size & shape, hair, mouth, etc, I say it the same guy.

Good point!

Hehehe, a little trivia... Where can you see Earl Dracula in the 1980 Astroboy? I know of one place for sure, but I think he makes two appearances.

Does anybody know anything more about this character BTW? :huh: I think I might have seen him somewhere in "Le prince du soleil" too.

I was actually browsing the Characters World searching for Walpur Giss. I think he's Duke von Vesterfort. What do you think?

Earl Dracula is a character in the small but short lived series, Don Dracula. Tezuka made a manga from it which became an anime. However, due to the Sponsering company becoming bankrupted, the series was pulled. Episode 4 was the last to air in Japan. Episode 5 - 8 was produced but wasn't released in japan until recently, however it did air in other countries before Japan's release.

(I apologize about the inapropriate content below, but this is the only picture I currently have capped of a character in this)

First shot is Hellsing, which is a character you're familier with. Second is Chocola and Earl Dracula in the ending sequence.

Thanks a lot! :wahah: I figured he must have had a more substantial role somewhere!

As for the pic, why not replace the first one with this version?

No, according to Kin Sankaku's page, Kin is Guiss

Btw, If anyone is interested, I have URLs for all 50 of Tezuka's Actors' pages, & have been thinking about making a page for my own website that lists them. I think it would have a table with various roles in it, so anyone could browse them easily.

Ok, fixed.

Again, sorry about the picture, it was both late, and I was kind of in a hurry so I used any picture of him I had.
