It would look better with Ochanomizu walking with one knee bent & the other leg way out at his side the way Tezuka often depicts him in manga.

I know the one you mean, I've seen the production sketch of it. Do you know where it appears in the manga/anime?

Cool website Dr. Frag! Very informative eventhough not yet complete. I can't wait for it to be finished. I got so many info already from the unfinished site what more if it is done. Great job! Keep it up!

P.S.
I really agree with your statement that English translated 2003 Astroboy series made Astroboy a punk kid because it really did. The Japanese voices with subs are cooler and shows a much more cute Astroboy (eventhough I can't understand Jap)

I usually just use textpad (it colors the tags and can build macros for repetitive work) but I used to use Allaire HomeSite 4 when I was designing advanced tables and frames (it did all the hard work, but still produced clean looking code). It also had a huge html dictionary with examples where I learned most of what I know about html. I think macromedia bought out the company a long time ago so you might find a 30 day trial on their site. IIRC it even had a wysiwyg mode...

Awesome site BTW, DrFrag!

Not much to see yet besides the episode lists.

Great site... Great design... :wahah:
Geee.What are you going to put into the video archive?

I just glanced at your 'comics' page, & think you might want to add something about the authors of those comics being other than Tezuka. I like how you format your Manga page in regards to "'Once Upon A Time' Astroboy Tales."

It will be a while before I update my site. I expect sometime during the first full week in July, I will put something up.

Eventually the comics will be clickable and have their own episode guides, including prices and where to get them. Speaking of which, I noticed this morning the Astroboy Gold Key comic is up on Ebay for $200. There's about one show up a year. I got mine for about $100 at Mile High Comics, although the good quality copies can go for over $600. :wacko:

The formatting for Once Upon A Time is tricky, you've probably come up against the same obstacle yourself - Dark Horse doesn't give anything more specific than the year range. By the way, do you know what year the story Gernica was released?

I've just started putting episode guides up for the 80s series (needs a bit of polish), plus a page of characters. My updates are going pretty quick because I have all the material and formatting templates now, but it'll slow down once I've done the full 80s episode guide.

I've rigged up some headphones to watch Astroboy in English and Japanese with each language in a different ear. Should be handy for finding edited parts.

I know it's off topic .
Anyway, here's a nice piccy of the 80's Atlas. Maybe it's for some use for both of your websites (if you don't have it already, that is):


:wahah:

Thanks Strange Wings! B) For a moment I thought that was an Atlas composite I did myself - atlas73.jpg on Anapan's server. That scenes is probably the best shot of Atlas.

The 1980 episode guide is now up at http://astroboy.cjb.cc/episodes1980.php . I think this is the first 1980 series episode guide on the Internet.
There's also a few empty pages for the 2003 guide.
