Wow. This is way better than the American ones. Actually looks like it actually has some of the original's emotional content. Also I noticed something of a Laputa homage with the moss-covered robot, so it seems like the people making the movie are pretty big anime fans.
 
Man, I love Japan's trailers for animated movies. They always show the drama side of storylines, compared to how America focuses more on the comedy or action.

I hope this will revive people's hopes on the movie!
 
Is this even the same movie? Japan sure knows how to market their animated movies better than America. Instead of another stupid CGI kiRAB' movie, this look like a real, emotional, adventure film.

This is the actress who will be the voice of Astroboy in the Japanese dub of the movie. Some of you may be familiar with her in a movie called "Azumi" and its sequel.
 
Thats the only problem I have with the Japanese trailer, I think it shows way too much. Still at least it gives you more of an Astro boy feel unlike the US trailers.
 
It works for the demographic, since Astro Boy is more of a landmark than another IP. They're also genre-savy in the cliches and story, since they make half these cliches anyways.
