I have just discovered that Patricia Kugler Whitely did the voice of Astroboy in the 80s English dub. I managed to track down where she is working now and she confirmed this for me via e-mail. :wahah: I've asked her for an interview so hopefully we can get some behind-the-scenes info on the production and what else she's been working on over the past 23 years! :wahah: :wahah: :wahah:

Why do females seem to voice males in some anime? I heard it has to do with woman power and rights. I just think for boys its easier to use females to make them cuter sounding

I remember an episode of the Simpsons in which Bart & Milhous are wondering the same thing. I agree with the Doctor that some adult females are able to produce appropriate voices for young children, as women in general have higher-pitched voices than men.
