AstroBoy Online Forums

Yeah, you've heard me! Here, I got the Youtube links below. Check it out before somebody does a copyright claim!

Part One
Part Two
Part Three

Plot samplette - Dr. Tenma plays a movie director (named Suguru Tenma) who decides to make a documentary about how to cure Collagen Disease, and he hires Black Jack to do the on-screen operation. The victim turns out to be his own son Asuto (as in "Asutoro Boi"...), and meanwhile, Pinoko thinks it's a drama they're filming. THINGS ENSUE!

Thanks FAUNA- ASTRO would be the real star- hugs

Kyaah!
seeing Tenma in his sunglasses again is wonderfull..

anyway erm this is the second time he has a role..and again he looks cranky.

Astroboy is so cute- thanks Hikari Tail and Fauna

Not only Tenma & Atom, but Rainbow Parakeet, Marakubi Boon, Monsieur Ampere, Hyoutantsugi, & Tezuka were in it. Sharaku was also, but he is a regular in the new BJ. There was a semi-bald round-headed guy whom I know I have seen before, but cannot remember where.

Thanks for the links, Fauna!

Skunk, Boon, and Ben Heck were among some of the actors in the audience.



I guess I don't have a screen shot of Boon.... but that's Skunk as he appears in the story "Treasure Island."

I downloaded the episode at froth-bite.com. Overall I liked it. It was nice to finally figure out what the story was about, I had trouble following the manga story.

And now that I think of it, that brown-haired woman looks a bit like the adult Melmo.

Please who is Melmo?- Fauna- thanks and hugs

If I had not seen the Skunk avatar right next to this, I would not have known that the leftmost figure is Skunk; only the bangs are similar.
I think the woman is Riiko

Monsieur Ampere

I hope somebody puts this series on r1 English-language version DVD soon.


Sorry to answer when you had asked Fauna, but Melmo is a 10 year-old magic girl who, by ingesting certain candy can transform into an adult, a n infant, an elephant, a dog, a fish, etc.

Melmo manga

Melmo anime

She, like other Tezuka actors, also plays other roles:
Melmo Actress

As with Sailor Moon & the other Maho Shojo, she goes through a transformation process every time she changes species, although not every time she change age. However, even if she appears to be an adult, she still has the mind of a child.

Thanks Jeffbert- hugs with friendship love- i would be careful if she offer me candy
