Original Astroboy Credits

When I was 7 years old I was exposed top this show and I was utterly crazy about it, like kids today are crazy about Spongebob. It was my first taste of anime and I had no idea that I would later become a big fan of Japanese animation. One of the things that got me so into this series were the unusual stories and the heart. Unlike most cartoons of the day, this show had a lot of heart. It wasn’t all about laughs or fighting. The stories were really compelling to my 7 year old mind. The enduring popularity of the Astroboy character is a testament to its greatness. It helped make its creator Osamu Tezuka one of the greatest comics artists of all time. I really can’t recommend his work enough. Especially his graphics novels,. My favorites of those are Adolph, Buddha, Phoenix and Black Jack.
