COOL! Man I really hope this comes out in the U.S.! Excellent job you're doing, btw.

Livian: DAICHI!

Atlas: Oh crap....

Livian: *storms up to him, poking him on the chest with her finger* How could you?! I've been your best friend since we were five and I'm human! Does that mean you consider me an enemy?! Huh?! *eyes water up and she starts to cry*

Atlas: Gah! No, Livian, please don't cry!

Me: Um...I think I'll leave these two alone.

If you don't mind, Dannavy85, would you kindly place here the cover of the Astroboy 2003 mangas you have.

I can do that this weekend.

In the episodes published during the 80s, Atlas was Astro's Nemesis. In the episodes of the 2000s, he is another boy who died and was replaced by a robot. In both, Astro and Atlas are some kind of ennemy brothers.

Well, in the 2003 Japanese version, Atlas is another boy who died and was replaced by a robot. In the 2004 English dubbed version, he was a robot his entire life and grew up being mistreated by his "father". The part with them being enemy brothers is still there.
