Astro Boy 2003 Redub/Uncut
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 2:05 pm

I'm going to compose an e-mail and send it to a company called Funimation, requesting the redub/uncut version of the 2003 anime Astro Boy.
Funimation have done a redub before with the anime One Piece that was originally dubbed by 4Kids. Funimation later picked up rights for the anime not only for that redub, but that also had less editing to this content. (Thanks to Dragonrider for this info)
If you are already aware, the 2003 Astro Boy suffered heavy censors from simply things such as violence, to the absurd of Astro playing with toys to hugging another character, even the love between father and son was cut. Not only that, but music composed by Takashi Yoshimatsu and theme songs from Zone, Chemistry and M-Flo were replaced by futuristic space music that did the original no justice.
The objective of this thread is to outline the thoughts of you, the fans, on what you would want on an 2003 Astro Boy redub. Such feed back will be vital as I'll be sending this link in the e-mail to Funimations, so every person's view will count and be of great help.
(For more information on some of censors in Astro Boy, follow this link.)
EDIT:: Here's Fanimation's e-mail if you'd like to contact them.
