I have all the English dubs for the 80s, and after seeing about half of the Japanese language versions, I am greatly disappointed with the dubs. I live in the US, and my sources have been amazon.com and The Right Stuf (One 'f' only). These are NTSC, however.

I have mentioned this earlier, but I have all the 80's Astroboy VHS that were released here in Oz. I fully intend on attempting converting these to VCD or possibly even SVCD if the resolution will not get distorted and grainy.

I have no idea how to do this as yet tho. I will have to find the thread here where I was given a lot of links to look up. :)

I have just recently been watching these tapes thru again. There are 17 tapes in total and i am u to Tape 7 this time around.

Man I love these tapes :D
(thats why I want to VCD them! ;)

Manga Entertainment owns the rights in the USA, Canada and the Uk for the 1980's version of Astro Boy.

I ordered mine from Blockbuster. It took like 6 months but I got them. Expensive though. They were like $30 each - for VHS!
