| Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Louisiana Posts: 166 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Just wondering if anyone here has seen this new anime "Astro Boy". Seems like a complete rip off of Mega Man, with a bit of the X mixed in. Its about a free willed robot that looks like a little boy with black hair. And guess what? He has a buster arm. And a creator who looks like a balder, big nosed Dr. Light, minus the beard. I only saw a bit, but he was fighting a robot in black armor talking about how the humans missused them and such, trying to convince Astro to join him. |

| Guest Posts: n/a | ...You've gotta be kidding me. Astro Boy is one of the earlier animes, and it predates Mega Man by at least 10 years. The concept of "free willed robot that wants to be good" has been done many times, too. EDIT: Did they remake a new astro boy or something?

| Guest Posts: n/a | Idiot. It's nowhere NEAR MegaMan, plus it's years older. MegaMan's a game, Astro Boy's an anime. Get it right. |

| Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Louisiana Posts: 166 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | So I made a mistake. I never claimed to be an Anime expert. I never heard of Astro Boy before, I saw what looked like a Mega Man ripoff, and I wanted other peoples opinions on it. |

| Guest Posts: n/a | ^Most definately. Hon...how could you NOT know about Astroboy? That's the old school 50s/60s anime. Anime 101. The building block for all future anime. Astroboy was around DECADES before Megaman even came into existance. And the premises between the two are nothing alike! I mean, Megaman doesn't go into the whole "free will" thing like Astroboy. It just...nnn..*has seizure* [ February 15, 2004, 06:36 PM: Message edited by: Bad Andi ] |

And I'm sorry if I haven't got an expert knowledge of Anime. Only ones I've seen are DBZ, Gundam Wing and a couple others. [ February 15, 2004, 06:47 PM: Message edited by: War-Prince 9 2.0 ] |

| Guest Posts: n/a | Astro Boy is Megaman with Probiscus monkeys instead of humans that are 10 years older than you are. Get the idea through your thick elbow assmardumbmudramssa. [ March 19, 2004, 09:21 PM: Message edited by: Coke Addict ] |
