Geez, the first thirty seconds was just Koreastro in a Roboticiser. And then he bashes out, does some Sporty Spice backflips and flies into a volcano. Then we are treated to a theme song consisting of electric organ and a screechy Korean girl's singing.

Ah, Korea. Ripping off popular anime into tasty train wrecks like Space Thunder Kids, Protectors of Universe (sic) and Defenders of Space. (Those are very weird things, and you can buy their DVDs at American WalMarts or stores where everything is a dollar (ex. Dollarama).

I just translated the video title, and it looks like Astro's really distant cousin is named "Outer Space Boy". They didn't even try. >o<

Now that I look hard enough, there's a blonde girl in a cheerleader outfit who has bangs similar to Nuka's, and a boy who looks a lot like Tamao with no glasses. And then the old man looks like a mix of Ochanimizu's role, Dr. Gilbert's nose (Cyborg 009) and Uran's hair. Outer Space Boy seems to have Kenichi's hair, too.

I notice in 70's-80's Korean cartoons is that the hero boys always have spiky brown hair with weird sideburns, token females are always blonde, scientists are elderly with white hair and a mustache, and alien invaders have blue skin. Girls who aren't blonde are either tomboys or aliens.

It does kind of remind me of Cyborg 009... But what was the point of flying into a volcano..? :lol: I just skipped to the end after that, I didn't realize the rest of the video was just the theme song.

"Astro, you must exceed the limitations that humans cannot!
You must be go beyond nationality, ethnicity,
pilosophy, and religion,
starvation and poverty,
and war!
Exceed these limitations created by man!
You must fly high! Higher than any human has ever flown before!
To reach for the future that no human has been able to so far!"

To make it erupt? :unsure:
Well, now you are about to ask why he made erupt a volcano right after been powered on :p You ask too many questions :ninja:
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.
