Marine Express

[Anapan]

Haha, well actually my FTP hasn't seen much action lately as my other accounts have faded into obscurity while I was away so that shouldn't be a problem.

I too hope that some more Tezuka videos get fansubbed.
I think I found a fansub of Jungle Emperor Leo, so lets hope it finishes downloading - part 2 seems to have a few holes in it.
I found a few more Osamu Tezuka shows on Animesuki last night aswell:

Black Jack 2003: http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/518.html
Black Jack 2003 special: http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/490.html
Bagi: http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/570.html

I thought Bagi was good, but I found the recent Black Jack movie to be a bit predictable.

I watched Marine Express yesterday. I liked it. But how is it that the vocals are in English?

Hey, I never knew there were sharks at the bottom of the ocean... How surprising! :wahah: I love how a few musical accompaniments are the same than in the 80s Astroboy series. I also had a feeling of déjà vu when Adamu entered the secure room.

BTW, is Rock usually a good or bad character? I've only seen him in the 2003 series. Was he in the 80s series as well? I can't remember seeing him, but then maybe I just didn't recognized him.

[DrFrag]

He was in the 80s series as Detective Rock in The Time Machine. He played a good guy, and unmasked the villain who turned out to be Tezuka.

[Astro Forever]

Oh, true!!! I had a feeling something had escaped me... Thank you!

[jeffbert]

He is a good guy in Princess Knight, also. I believe he played a kid in either Metropolis or one of those other manga books.

[DrFrag]

Yeah Metropolis, now I remember.

I just began watching this, & noticed a rather unusual name in the opening credits, under "Editing & Timing!"

[Anapan]

Oh yeah, I noticed that too. Did you see last thank you note the translators left at the end?

[Astro Forever]

No I didn't. But I did notice the unusual name at the beginning!
