may even check out the new all CG movie (though I don't think Astro is designed for 3-D) when it comes out.

I can't believe there are 104 episodes in the US version, and almost double that total. i'm up to episode 8...

The 1963 set is a bit cost prohibitive for me. I guess it's so pricey because they had to reconstruct the English version the same way BCI did with Ultraman by scouring whatever English audio sources they could find and dubbing it back over onto the Japanese R2 video.

I do love the original, and the 2003 version is really good too. The original Tezuka manga was recently published through Dark Horse and they are super cheap. On amazon vols 1 and 2 (it's one book around 430 pages) is $10.

I'll probably see the new movie, but am a little iffy on whether it won't suck.
