All 1980s Astro screenshots

[Strange Wings]

B) Superb shots!

I love that episode, maybe also because of its score containing excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
I remember hearing that ep's soundtrack back and forth while falling asleep 19 years ago.

Looks like this image has some problems, right in the middle


Edit: Oops, not anymore now I have posted my message :wacko:

So since nobody suggested anything, I went with Robot Land!

You're the woman!

Pretty good choice!


If you're looking for suggestions I have a few.


That episode with all the bees. The one where the kid's father has some kind of controlling device implanted in his ear. I haven't seen that one since the 1980s but I do remember it being one of the top 5 Astroboy episodes that stood out of the pack for me. Loved it.


The episode with the diamonds where the planet changes from freezing to warm extreamly fast. That episode was an absolute brilliant piece of work and it'd be good to see it get some love.


The race around the world episode. So many cool vehicles would equal a lot of great shots. I am such a mark for races especially ones that are around the world.

My problem with this episode is that I hate the drawing style (examples here). I hate how Astro and Uran look, or sometimes it just leaves me indifferent. This is really too bad as some of these episodes are among my favorites when it comes to the story itself (especially "The Red Cat" and "The Death Balloon"). But it's not very inspiring when it comes to taking screenshots, because I love great facial expressions. However, I'll do a recap of this episode so you'll be able to remember it, just don't expect the pics to be as good!

BTW, did you see many episodes since the 80s?

Haha, now it's the opposite: I hate that story but I love the drawing style, so it should make good screenshots anyway!

Okay!

This pic reminds me of the kid who, being 'it' in hide & seek, was tired of searching for the other kids, and was yelling (a particular phrase that I have forgotten) for them to return to the base. The phrase indicated that he had given up & would not tag anyone who returned.

Great shots. I remember that Robot land story from the Manga.

It's too bad my parents were not really into classical music, because I never realized it. I agree that the soundtrack of this episode is beautiful, I can appreciate it now!

BTW fafner, what was wrong with the pic?

And here is The Secret of Bee City (which includes "The Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov, great use of the music here too! ). Not the greatest shots because of the drawing style, but I warned you!
