Manga Reviews added weekly, to correspond with Cartoon Network’s schedule.’Astro’ when used anywhere but in the ”English Title” column, should really be ‘Atom,’ as this is the Japanese name for the character. Likewise, ”Astroboy” or ”Astro Boy” used anywhere but in the ”English Title” column, should really be ”Tetsuwan Atom,” which literally means ”Mighty Atom.” However, the Tezuka Osamu World website prefers to translate his name into the more familiar English-language name given to him by Fredd Ladd when he first began translating the 1963 animated cartoon into English. I have used the story titles exactly as they are listed on Right Stuf’s Boxed sets and the Tezuka Osamu World’s English-language pages.Notes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1<\/span><\/strong> Although the Dark Horse manga groups these two stories under one title, they were originally separate tales. See the Astroboy manga review of Astroboy’s Parents<\/a> and Astroboy manga review of Gaseous Beings<\/a>.2<\/span><\/strong> \u2018Satellite\u2019 merely uses a few vital plot elements from ”Mystery of the Blast Furnace” rather retelling the whole story.<\/p>\n

3<\/span><\/strong>The animated version of this manga tale ”Robot Bombs” was actually put into two episodes, only the first of which was included in the English-language version. The second part was not even a consecutive episode, but was placed 152nd<\/sup> in the sequence, and titled ”Robot Bombs.”<\/p>\n

4<\/span><\/strong> Although the manga version of this tale is not an Astroboy story, it is a Tezuka Story, itself based upon the Picture of Dorian Gray. The Black Space Ray<\/em> was one of several science fiction stories in Tezuka’s Lion Books<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

5<\/span><\/strong> This is another Astroboy tale based upon a non-Astroboy comic: Number 7<\/em>, Where the title refers to the title character Oshima Shichiro’s official number.<\/p>\n

6<\/span><\/strong> This was the only full-color episode of the series; however, the English-language version was in black & White. An English subtitled version of the full-color Japanese-language episode is<\/em> on the extras disc in the The Right Stuf’s second boxed set (ISBN: 1-57032-812-9).<\/p>\n

7<\/span><\/strong> Three episodes were combined into a full-color movie ”THE BRAVE IN SPACE.” One, ”Earth Defense Troops” or ”Earth Defense Army,” the 56th<\/sup> episode, was originally made in full-color, while the other two, ”Robot Rocket,” the 46th<\/sup> and ”The Last Day of Earth,” the 71 st<\/sup> were originally made in monochrome. However, while the 46th<\/sup> episode was black and white, the 71st<\/sup> was made with a tinted background, first blue, then red.<\/p>\n

8<\/span><\/strong> Unfortunately, for some reason, this story, ”Jungle Devil Boundary” the 5th<\/sup> published in ASTRO BOY (Mighty Atom) Club, was not included in the 23 volume manga collection.<\/p>\n

9<\/span><\/strong> Although the Right Stuf’s booklet that accompanies boxed set #2 describes this episode which it correctly identifies as ”The Terrible Spaceman” with terms such as ‘roboids,’ it has nothing to do with any<\/em> such things. Rather, this is the 103rd<\/sup> episode in the Japanese sequence, ”Stairs Leading into Space,” a completely different story than the one described in the booklet. Roboids, was Tezuka’s 60th<\/sup> comic adventure in his Astroboy series published in Shonen, and was the 126th<\/sup> episode in the B&W series. While the comic version is printed in Dark Horse’s 12th<\/sup> volume of Astro Boy comics (ISBN 1-56971-813-X), the animated version is only available on region 2 with Japanese dialogue. Dark Horse currently offers previews of the 1st<\/sup> 4 pages of its Astroboy comics. Roboids, being 1st<\/sup> in volume 12, is the previewed story: 1st<\/sup> page of preview<\/a>. Furthermore, although all 4 stories in volume 12 were included in the 1963 animated series, none were included in the English-language version; therefore, volume 12 is highly reccomended.<\/p>\n
