ASTRO BOY was the first Japanese manga to be adapted into an animated series. From 1963 to 1966, Osamu Tezuka directed the black and white ASTRO BOY, based off his comic of the same name. This new 2003 version is representative of a nostalgic golden age of comics. Astro is a robot who lives in the retro-futuristic Metro City. Originally created by research scientist Dr. Tenma in the image of his deceased son, he was discarded with the scientist`s realization that his son could never be replaced. Later discovered by the kindly Dr. O`Shay, Astro was revived and given a robot family, while O`Shay served as his mentor, in the belief that humans and robots can and should get along with each other. Astro, however, is not like other robots; in addition to his superior strength and jet-rocket arms and legs, his brain is the most advanced in the world, and it is capable of feeling all human emotions. Astro is a reluctant superhero, fighting to keep the peace between robots and humans, and always coming to the city`s rescue against all manner of nefarious evildoers. Episodes include Rocket Ball, Franken, Deep City, and The Blue Knight.
