60s Set

Postby 1magus » 19 years ago

I was thinking about getting the Astro Boy 1960s set redone in color it has 8 discs! Which I did not know only 40.00 Dollars. And I was wondering if anyone here has this and is it worth it?

yeah i think it's worth it becuase it is the 60's it's kinda rare and they don't air it any more so it would be a good buy... but it's up to you

if it was me i'd buy a modal F-14 tomcat to build

Um Yeah I was thinking more along the lines like ae they done well, is the sound ok, and are all the episodes sized right for normal sized TV screens?
Off course it's a good buy as long as those are done right.

I have the entire set in Japanese, & 1st of 2 boxed sets of the English translation of the 60s, but never heard of any colorized version. Where did you hear of it? :unsure:

BTW, most of the episodes on the 1st of 2 boxed sets of the English translation of the 60s have adequate sound quality, but there is 1 episode whose sound quality is quite poor. :cry:

I found it the other day at this shop it showed the 60s Astro Boy in color and said it was completely redone in colorized it looked like a 4 disc set but it had 2 discs per case inside. But I just looked it up:
http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70040013&trkid=189530&strkid=361895314_2_0
Apparently it was just episode 1 colorized or something and all of the 1980s series DOH.

This is Astroboy: The Complete Series (1980s). Be assured, there was only 1 episode in the 60s that was color:

56th Episode: Earth Defense Army

However, the English version of this (#32 The Moon Monsters) was B&W. Set #2 (yet to be released) will feature three Subtitled Eps, including this one. Whether it will be color, we must wait to see. :astro:

Way, way too many discs to Decrypt and convert or just own, or even rent.

Yes, it's full colour and dual audio. It's listed as #56 The Moon Monsters. I'll write a bigger review in a new thread.
