In regards to the raw Nihongo 60's eps: I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Even though I reconize onlya few Japanese words, these are still way more entertaining than either of the color versions. I swear I laughed myself red in the face more than once, & this was not unusual. I am now about to watch #58.
#57 is Robot School, known to English speakers as Astroboy goes to School. Now, I have seen the tape of the English version more than a few times, but I noticed something strange on the DVD.
The scene was when A. Mechanic had captured Uranium & her Sensei, and had just informed them of his intentions. He then put the stolen sculpture in the cart, and sent it on its way to the blast furnace.
Here is the funny part: Several cuts from different perspectives showed the doomed sculpture going down the tracks toward the fire. Most of these had the viewer riding along with the cart, but one cut showed the cart as it moved away from the viewer into the distance. There were no fewer than 8 frames of the cut, & I think as many as 12. What was strange about it, you ask? Uranium was in the cart! In fact, this very same cut was used later when the bad guy actually put her and her Sensei in it for their turn in the furnace! Sensei was slumped over, & so was not easily seen, but Little Uran was in the cart both times!
