Astro Boy - Trailer #2

I think I might like this. The overall quality of the animation and the presentation of everything. I think it's interesting to see that "Tobio" retains his memories, which is something the past incarnations did not do. The only issue that I currently have with it is Tobio's voice. It think it sounds a little too mature for him, given he's supposed to be a younger boy, not an older boy going through puberty. But I guess I'll get used to it.

Though, I do have to wonder if they're going to use all the Japanese names for this (sans Astro of course). The usage of Dr. Tenma kind of surprised me, given he's been given god knows how many english names thus far. Whatever does happen with the names though, I'll deal with it. Just I'd prefer we had one set of names for all the characters and be done with it.

In anycase, I'll reserve my judgement on it until it comes out. Really hoping this is as good as it looks.
 
It all depends on the story, of course, but this looks kinda good. Visually it kicks the can of stuff like Monsters vs. Aliens. I've read some of Osamu Tezuka's manga - bits of Phoenix, some Astro Boy and a bit of Princess Knight - and I'd read more if I could find any (grrrrr - Dark Horse stopped printing his stuff, darn them). So I guess I'm eager to see this. Looks good so far...
 
I was so excited about the movie before the first trailer...

I don't like the character designs at all...and why does it look like Astro's hair is real?


I'm a big Astro Boy fan so I'll definitely check it out but I have low expectations, especially after all thats been going on at imagi...
 
Yeah, the one I'm curious most about is Dr. Ochanomizu. He's been called Dr. Elefun, Dr. O'Shay, Professor Peabody....

He's had the most name changes of any one Astro Boy character, so it'd be interesting if this movie actually keeps his Japanese name for once.
 
Looks pretty good, but I'm still not quite 100% sold if I absolutly need to see it in theaters. What I want to know is:
Will Astro's dad (sorry forgot his name) still be a villan? 'Cause I might be sold if they do that
 
No he's supposed to look like a robot boy, and his hair is supposed to be metal with things inside the spikes...

The new trailer looks more promising though at the same time it made me question it as well. Oh well I'm cautiously optimistic. At least the character designs of Elefun grew on me...
 
Not as good as the first trailer but maybe it set my hopes too high. Still it was not bad.

Oh and I did not get the impression that his hair looked "real" at all. And even if it did that's a very insignifigent nit pick IMO.
