Watch Astro Boy at 4:30pm every Thursday on ABC Kids TV
(it's okay, it hasn't started yet!

So far, their website has no mention of it, but from this article it looks like Astroboy will be hitting free-to-air TV on the ABC. And I'll have to eat all my words for declaring it would be on Cheez TV. <_<

Although, the Cheez TV guide has been updated with the info that Astroboy will have 26 episodes when it's shown. So is the ball still up in the air on this one? I'm really leaning towards the ABC screening it now, which I still find a bit odd given their recent decade of pretty much no anime. But I'm bookmarking Rollercoaster. Into my Links folder. Maybe I'll set my VCRs too. :wacko:

Of course, the new series will begin with pay-TV on the Cartoon Network, March 29th, before it starts on free-to-air.
Mania magazine also has a two page write up on the coming of the new series, and is probably the most information-packed of all the recent publications. But it comes with a crappy plastic pencil case. I was tempted to leave the pencil case in the shop, sort of do a reverse-shoplift.
