From episode 77 - the Terrible Time Gun

BTW -- he's SIR Astro here. This episode has some gaping holes in continuity (Elefun's lab is located on the site of an obviously European castle? hmmmmm). I don't care - it was one of my favorites! I think of it as an Astro Boy "chick flick!" :p BTW he does some sharp shootin' with those butt guns too!

Yet another girl to add to his ever growing harem :whistling:

Re: Ep. 77 -- Yes! That's true! Her name is Philomena and she even tells him she loves him, and he acts droopy when he leaves. I dunno -- Nikki better watch out if time travel catches on.

The other "girlfriend" I haven't seen mentioned here yet is Angelica from Angel of the Alps (episode 85). In this one, Astro has to disguise himself as a human, so he uses his "human name" (Astor Boynton -- this is the US 1960's series). Angelica gives AB her necklace (which contains important info) as it was meant for her to give to a man she'd meet some day would be "an angel" -- oh, yeah -- chick flick number two! Notice how they kind of made him look more grown up, too (taller).

Enjoy!

I think there is an animated GIF of Atom playing that flute, somewhere in this forum.

Awww that's cute! He's lookin' like he's kinda bored though, doesn't he? Guess if you can FLY, why ride a wooden horse in a circle? XD

Being a horse-lover this would have been an episode I'd enjoy -- but this is one of Japanese-only episodes, right? bummer....

Hope someday someone could translate and offer them with subtitles.

Don't let the let of color put you off -- the original version has something to it the others don't -- even though the American version was edited, there is an originality to it that is very engaging.
