Hello and Some Stuff

Hey there! I'm Rain and I'm new, as you can probably tell. I just got into Astro Boy a couple weeks ago (although I've had the Japanese version of Omega Factor for a while now...), but I'm really obsessed. I watched the American dub of the 2003 series (I'm American, by the way), but I haven't really watched the '80s or '60s series other than a couple of episodes.

This kinda brings me to something else. I don't want to sound rude by asking or anything, but is there any place I can watch the original Japanese version of the 2003 series? I've seen the first 6 episodes on Veoh (which I actually found by looking at this site) but I really want to see some other episodes, like episode 7 and the last few episodes. I've been looking through this forum the last few days, and I've seen that there's been talk before of plans by some people to upload some episodes. Is that still going on?

Again, I'm really sorry if this is rude, and it's nice to meet everyone.

Welcome rain! :)

I'm not the right person to answer your question, so I will leave it up to somebody else.

I have a few other episodes in Japanese. However, none of them have subtitles. To my knowledge, only the first 6 have subtitles.

Edit: Done Astro Forever, and at lightning speed :p

Hello there! Nice to see a new Astro Boy fan. Sadly, it's very very difficult to find the Japanese version of Astro Boy '03. Now and then, I see bootlegs being sold on ioffer.com but I don't know about their quality

Nice to meet you everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome. ^^

I've definitely noticed how hard it is to find the Japanese version. I would love to buy a bootleg if it was good, but unfortunately, there's no way I can. It's a shame, really; the American version is okay for getting the overall point across, but it cuts out or changes a lot of the good stuff...

Well, I've ripped things from DVD with a program called "Format Factory."
