Embedded below is the newest trailer for the new Astroboy (鉄腕アトム) movie due out in October of this year. Done right, this could be the 2nd coming of the Astroboy character. The character designs look true to the originals, you know, as true as they could get being done by non-Japanese. Let’s just hope they get a coherent story out of this. It’s looking good at the moment.
The story of “Astroboy” centers around a boy robot built by a scientist to replace the son he lost in an accident. It started out as a manga then was made into a phenomenally popular Anime series that started in Japan and then came to US television screens soon after. It was created by the father of Japanese manga and animation, Osamu Tezuka.
Be sure to watch the trailer in HD. It makes ALL the difference.

Then I checked again recently and now they offer subtitled episodes in Japanese. And now Read the rest of this entry »

….and if you think about it, he isn’t Japanese either. DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION, the live action adaption of the immensely popular Japanese Manga/Anime series is about to hit theaters this week (although the lack of television commercials and reviews have me thinking it will see a release as dismal as the last Street Fighter movie. Ugh!), so naturally the Otaku are all abuzz about the similarities between the original show/comic and it’s movie counterpart. One of the most frequent arguments I hear is “Goku isn’t even Japanese” or “Why is Goku played by a white dude? Goku is Japanese?”. But if the fanboys and fangirls really sat down Read the rest of this entry »
