Crackle Astro Boy 2003 gone from Youtube. AGAIN

[Ghost]

So not too long ago, I finished watching a movie. For some reason I kept thinking about recent events in another thread about the 2003 Astro Boy anime films that were never dubbed or subbed in English. I watched some episodes of the 1980s series, the American dub with all it's flaws. I still liked it even with all it's flaws, same with the 2003 anime.

It was edited to hell, but it was still somewhat enjoyable for me, even with it's flaws. Mainly because I love Dr. Tenma in this dub. I really dunno to be honest.

But back on topic; I search the series on Crackle's site and I couldn't find it. I was confused, so I search on YouTube instead. I had to wave through a few pages, but I found this page:



So I figure, "Okay, it's not down. I'll go ahead and watch the series again."

WRONG!

When I went to click on one of the episodes, look at what I am greeted to:



Now, I've been seeing this for a while. WingedMushroomofDoom doesn't have any 03 episodes on her account anymore. But I'm starting to notice a pattern. Every once in a while either the 03 series, the 80's series or even both at the same time, will go down.

Is Astro Boy's popularity just going down or what? Most of you know that this isn't the first time this has happened. I would like to know why these shows get removed from YouTube every now and then. I mean, I do prefer the Japanese versions. But I still think that the English versions are still enjoyable, even with all their flaws.

Happens to me too.

And its crap because the videos on all the other sites I've seen aren't working either.

EDIT: Its also gone on Veoh, Metacafe, channels.com and also IMDb.com . The fact that I'm editing the wiki and I need screenshots as well as the plot doesn't help either.

And yet, they work for me, and I live in Canada. I can't seem to find them on Hulu anymore though.

If you take screenshots for the wiki, please squeeze them so that they're in proper 4:3 ratio instead of stretched 3:2. (Difference between 1.5 and 1.33 is 11.3333333%)
