I don't know the story, history or how loved this character is amongst fans of manga / anime, but I'm guessing it's a lot as he seem to have been around for a long, long time.

Now, I know of the character, but that's about it. The other day I got a peek at five scenes from the Astro Boy movie. Thanks to the valiant "Boba Fat" we know the following about the movie: Anime (and Animation) on North American TVĪstro Boy (2009) Impressions AICN Anime has been fortunate enough to pick up an oldschool "spy" response to Imagi's CG Astro Boy.
