Interesting to see the faces behind the names! Like with Xenops and Novacain, I don't feel comfortable posting a picture of myself on here. I can describe myself though. People I know have told me that I look like Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon. The differences between me and Hiccup are that I...

He he, very cute. I think Higeoyaji needs to learn how to use a fire extinguisher.

That is true. And yeah, that is weird that the Manga Entertainment and Madman sets are almost identical to each other. :eek: Madman Entertainment is an Australian distributor mainly for Manga Entertainment's licenses, among some others. Well...that would explain why they're identical then, now woul...

[QUOTE=Shiyonasan;124363]That is quite strange. :confused: Like I said, when I searched for that box set on the internet, many places said it was only available in English.

Astro Boy never really all was that popular. Of course it was pretty popular back with the 60's and 80's series, but not an awful lot, and those times have passed now. And as such, not all of the series will get subbed. We were lucky with what we have. And the 2003 series' rights are owned by Sony,...

This is my first attempt at this game. Let's see how I do.

[QUOTE=Shiyonasan;124331]they're the only consistent releases of any Astro Boy series that have the Japanese language track with English subtitles The North American 80's boxset does too, but it's missing the complete first two episodes. Those two with subtitles are included in the Australian boxse...
