Blimey! (whatever that means) Its a bloke from Mother England. Welcome, my friend. I have seen the complete series (all 3 of them), & would rather have the 1960s' 193 episodes in Japanese than the English version of the 2003.

Tezuka had a knack for physical comedy, that knows no language barriers, & that humor was abundant in the 1960s, occasional in the 80s, & absent in 2003 (note that T died in the late 80s).

Bloke? I'm a lady! : O

Also Blimey doesnt really have a meaning, it's like something you just say when surprised at something XD

People really make the 60's series sound like it's really somethin, I guess I better save for the 60's set sometime soon XD [/b][/quote]
Oops, I should have seen that first part of your member name. I am So sorry!

I never knew what 'blimey' meant, I knew it was used as an exclaimation from my reading of "Andy Capp" comic strips.

Some people here are old enough to have seen the 80's series on TV, but I am about 10 or 11 years too late!

I wish I had a VCR or DVD player back then, with all those series available, but I was 15 to 20 years too early!

Oh, how much fun it would have been to be able to watch every episode in a row back then! I guess I'm making up for that now, but still!

Have fun watching! :wahah: Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Actually, if you enjoy it only 25% of how I did, you should still enjoy it a lot!

Hi, welcome to the forum jennytablina. It's great to meet someone new from another country here. We post from all over the world here. Here the world is united in our love of Astro and other Tezuka and classic anime. If only the "real world" was united like us.

As far as Astro, I like the 60's version the best, because it has the same humor and art as the original manga, but it can be quite dark and serious too. Also it has 193 episodes which Jeffbert and I have. Unfortunalty only 104 were translated, but that could change with demand for the rest to be translated.

Again, welcome and enjoy our site.
