| | Astro Boy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For a while, Astro Boy achieved a similar level of popularity in Japan as Disney's Mickey Mouse. | | | Because according to the story Astro Boy was born in Takadanobaba on April 7, 2003, in commemoration, (starting in 2003) the JR platform in Takadanobaba has used the theme music from the TV series to signal that a train is about to leave. | | | In 2004, the character Astro Boy was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. |

| | Because of Astro Boy, Tezuka became the most famous animator in Japan, and he is still admired and honored by Japanese people and by people all over the world. | | | He’s also been seen on the giant public screens in Ginza (Tokyo’s Beverly Hills) – and there’s a whole wall of Astro Boy and his friends outside the Takadenobaba Subway station – famous because it’s near the studios where Astro Boy is produced. | | | That is why Astro Boy meant far more to the people of Japan than just an entertaining story about a super-hero. |

| | Once Astro has restored order and beaten the boss, he'll not only gain strength in both his blue health bar and red force gauge (which drains with each use of his superabilities and regenerates with time), but he'll also unlock a new ability. | | | You see, when Astro was created, all of the city's power was diverted, short-circuiting the Magnamite and sending it into a destructive frenzy. | | | It's been more than 50 years since Astro Boy made his debut as a peripheral character in the late Osamu Tezuka's comic strip Captain Atom. |

| | Click the picture of Astro Boy in the spotlight to watch a video clip of the first time Astro Boy was "booted up" by his "Dad." This excellent sequence seems to show the influence of James Whale, the director of Frankenstein (1931) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). | | | Containing many elements borrowed from Pinocchio, and a few from Frankenstein as well, Astro Boy was a robot built by a distraught-turned-mad scientist who wanted to recreate his young son, killed in a car crash when an automated highway system failed. | | | For better or for worse it all began in 1963, with the introduction to America of the cartoon character Astro Boy as a syndicated TV show. |

| | Though it was not the first anime, Tetsuwan Atom was the first to be internationally distributed, more or less establishing animation as both a viable industry and an art form in its own right in Japan, much as the adventures of Mickey Mouse and Superman did for American cartoons and comic books, respectively. | | | Analyzing pop culture is not a job for the faint of heart or the thin-skinned, let me tell you. | | | Despite his creation's popularity, however, Tezuka was dissatisfied with certain differences between the animated version of Astro Boy and his original concept, as the cartoon focused primarily on action and superheroics, elements Tezuka felt were the least important aspects of his story. |

| | Astro can fly around at two speeds; he can either float around at a walking pace, or use the spin attack as a boost to cross long distances faster. | | | Astro Boy’s sound is decent, but not groundbreaking. | | | The basic flow is that Astro is sent one on mission or another, travels to his destination via the hub of Metro City, and then trashes a few enemies before he is presented with a boss battle. |
