Astroboy Collection on DVD

Post by Takanori-chan » Sun Dec 18, 2005 5:14 pm

I've recently discovered that Manga Entertainment has released the original 1980's version of Astroboy in English. I was wondering if anybody knows exactly how much Japanese language content it actually has because my research on the set has some conflicting information.

From what I understand, all episodes are in English and Japanese. Though I'm not completely sure.

If you want information like this all you need to do is look it up on Amazon or Manga Ent.'s website.
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you''ve got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

I have the set and the episodes are in Japanese and English though are edited. The episodes are not cut as much as the original US dub was supposedly but this isnt too bad.

Though the australian version of this set also contains the Japanese version of the first episode (with the Atlas Boy scenes intact) but no Japanese audio track. Personally I think your better off with Mangas version though
