Astro Boy

Or, rather, Tetsuwan Atom. I just watched the recent movie, (the one with Nicholas Cage as Dr. Tenma), and it was like, wow. For Astro Boy (I'll be calling him Atom), not the movie. I mean, not that the movie wasn't great, but I didn't love the movie as much as I loved the avenue it had opened. Osamu Tezuka is like Japan's Isaac Asimov, but different in a totally awesome way, because the robots as actual beings with souls clicked for me in Tezuka's work more than in Asimov's.

Actually, I haven't read the actual manga, (just watched the anime and read Pluto, which is kind of like a spin-off manga, but it's amazing on its own), so if anyone can give me a link where i can read it online, that would be great.

Yes, I've checked onemanga and mangafox, but they're not allowed to carry it daw.

This post is basically just an "It's so awesome!" dump, so that I can get it out of my system and I can function normally again.

Oh, and here are some things about Astro Boy (may or may noy be true)
-Astro was a bad dubbing name, because he has little to do with space. Astro's real name is Atomu
-His underwear has to be unlocked with a secret password before it can come off.
-The machine guns in his butt are anti-rape mechanisms.
-is cute and awesome at the same time.



ATOM! I <3 U!!1!one!

I especially love Astro's facial expressions in the 2009 movie!
