astro boy movie

I know most hardcore fans are excited about Astro Boy coming out. This amazing film is in CGI and, as you can see, it looks pretty hardcore. I will definitely be seeing this the day it comes out. For those of you who do not know who Astro is, he is a robot who was created by Dr. Tenma, originally to replace his dead son, Tobio, but because Astro was just a robot, and could not age and grow, Dr. Tenma abandoned him to a robot circus, led by an evil man, Ham Egg. (What the heck of a kide was named Ham Egg? Poor guy.) At the circus, Astro was adopted by Professor Ochanomizu. He was given a whole entire robot family to take care of him. As head of the Ministry of Science, Professor Ochanomizu often calls on Astro to help resolve situations involving humans, robots, and on occasion, extraterrestrials.

This may seem like a childish fairy-tale to you, but trust me:

It's freaking hardcore.

So try to read as many Astro Boy mangas / watch as many Astro Boy animes as you can.
