[QUOTE=teugene50;231133]so when will the dvd of little astro boy comes?

They haven't been announced yet. I'm thinking of writing to Tezuka Productions and asking about the DVD/bluray release.[/QUOTE]

They oughta. Wouldn't exactly be expensive would it? Already dubbed, only eight episodes, they don't need to do anything fancy. Just through it on a single disc and send it out.

Hmmm.. I thought you said you can't copy.

[teugene50]

So cute! If they do air it, hopefully it would be on a more popular channel. It would defenitely introduce more people to Astro Boy!

[teugene50]

I sure do hope so.

YES!
I can play Region 2 DVD's on my Oppo DVD player (as soon as I get it back from the factory, it needed service), or on my PC. I guess that will be a birthday present for myself, (that's 3 days before my birthday).

Hey this will be a first, an Astro video DUBBED in JAPANESE!

While I can't read the Japanese, I see that the title ends in "Atomu" and doesn't have the "Tetsuwan" in front, so I'm guessing it's literally "Robot Atomu", I think the title is written without ANY Kanji.

Come to think of it, I'm actually surprised that it's being released on a DVD, I thought that most new video releases these days were going BD.
