Oh no . . . . Atom as SOFT DRINK MACHINE? I don't THINK so!! :eek:

Sorry, that goes beyond silly into the land of :sick:

Considering how he pulls out the dispensing "hose" I'm surprised Dr. Tezuka didn't decide to use a different part of Atom's anatomy :blush: - but then, maybe that would be too close to his FUEL TANK.

Oy vey. I could use logic on the butt-guns, but this feature is just too plain weird. :rolleyes:

:hyo: filler up!
:astro: Hi Test or Regular

ewwwwwwwww!

Wow. That is...kind of disturbing. :eek:

Good thing the juice machine only appeared in this comic!

I don't found that story really interesting, but I've seem weird cosplays of Atom based on it.

... O-o; I already thought those "nips" looked disturbing; but that is an image I could've done without...

I should have figured that even Tezuka-san had bad ideas in his mangas, but that's way over disturbing O_o

At the risk of sounding rude, what is the big deal about Astro Boy with nipples? He's a robot so what difference does it make if he is shown with nipples or not? The images come from a manga serial written for six year old children! Since Astro Boy is a robot and not a real person it might be considered humorous to show Astro Boy with nipples that dispense a beverage since he should not have nipples at all! If some one could please translate the word balloons it may make more sense. I for one am looking forward to more information re: this story as it is not available in any language other than Japanese and is little known outside of Japan and to Astro Boy fans like us!

I :heart: :astro: :)

Thanks, I was thinking of saying something too to counterbalance all the hysteria. I think that picture is hilarious!

I personally find it unnecessary and for what I read, even the japanese don't liked that mangá.

I feel that looking at this small section of the serial, it is like taking something out of context. That is why, I for one, would like more information re: this particular manga story. Yes, historically the story did prove unpopular, I am still curious to see more; even if for some these few panels are sufficient.
