1963 series episode 2?

[AstroNewbie]

Hi, all. I'm a newbie at astro (although I watched the 80s series a bit back then) but am interested in the 1963 series. I'm considering buying the DVDs. However, reading episode guides online has confused me about the second episode. For the 1963 series, is it Colosso, or Franken, or Frankenstein, or Astro vs. Atlas, or what? Was there more than one second episode, or was the ordering of episodes varied, or are there several alternate translations? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, you knowledgeable astro fans you!

Colosso is the English dubbed name for Frankenstein. I have both the new English language DVDs & the Japanese-language DVDs (for 190+ episodes). Some of the episodes on the English DVDs have poor, but understandable audio. I recommend them to anyone who loves Astroboy. Below is the episode list for the 1963 series. Both English & Japanese titles are included; Oh, & welcome to the forum.

BTW, if you have erer read the 23 volumes of Astroboy Manga, you will see more than a few manga stories among those in the animated series.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Here is the list:
