AstroBoy Online Forums

I decided to experiment around with combining the video from the Japanese release of Astro Boy, which is presented in 16:9 widescreen, with the Audio from the English dub to create the "ultimate version". I restored scenes that were cut out and used the original intro and ending from the Japanese version. It took more editing than I initially thought it would, since the English version was cut down in various places throughout the entire episode to shorten the overall length, but I think I finally got the result I was hoping for. I own both the Japanese and English DVD boxsets, nothing was pirated.

Anyways, here it is: https://mega.co.nz/#!WQ5yFY5Y!1KW35MsCfxdz0TbdjFb1-V8Co3spX_HfLKsbzbzKbkw

Wow that came out real good. There were some scenes in there that were cut from the US release, such as Tobio's death. I wish the US release had been done this way.

Thank you so much for this remastered version! Episode 50 is one of my favourite episodes of all time, and it was practically massacred in the Sony dub. You've done an incredible job with this.

OK, I have a request. In one of the episodes with Atlas there is a scene where Astro "sees" Tobio in the ruins of Tenma's house. In the background we can hear a soft version of the original Astro boy theme. Can you edit this version combining the two soundtracks to have the English language dialog with the music from the Japanese soundtrack? A lot was lost IMHO by losing that background music.

Wow nice job! Based on this I feel like the English version could have been better simply by just keeping the aspect ratio but would have definitely been much better if they didn't cut out so much.

I plan on doing more in the future! Separating the voice overs from the music in the Japanese version may be a little tricky, but I'll see what I can do!

I do plan on doing more of these in the future! Separating the Japanese voice overs from the soundtrack may be a little tricky, but I'll give it a shot. Or maybe I can try getting my hands on the original Japanese soundtrack and try matching things up. I'll do some more experimenting around.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been looking for the 16:9 english verson forever. cant find the Australian one anywhere.

I tried rediting ep one but the cut scenes made and the order of the episodes all rearranged.. it a mess! I hope you find a way to do all eps! thanks!
