Just got this at the library and read the first volume. How come no one told me how awesome it is?
Because Astro Boy is better
>>49859whats astro boy?
>>49860That's a touch like asking who Micky Mouse is, Astroboy is, THE Anime and Manga character, he's among the first and in Japan he's easily the most icionic.
>>49862I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic Tiki.
>>49863I figured I'd better tell him on the off chance he was serious, it's no skin off my nose since I'm not doing anything better.
>>49858I don't know, we just had a Pluto thread a couple months ago.Also, the library was where I read some volumes of it too. How many did yours have? Mine had the first three.
>>49866My library just got the first volume a week or two ago.
>>49859I can respect Astro Boy as a manga of it's time and for being groundbreaking and revolutionary for it's time. But sadly it has also aged poorly and is nowhere NEAR as good as some of Osamu Tezuka's other works.Still. Pluto is freakin' awesome in it's own right.
Because it made me cry like a bitch and talking about it makes me feel vulnerable.
... I tried to tell everyone on this board about this ages ago and no one listened.
Fuck yeah, Pluto!
Because I took for granted that you knew that already.
