Talk:Astro Girl

Hello, guys!

Uran was made to support Tezuka's original Tetsuwan Atom series and not Astro Boy.

It's true that Astro Boy had contributed with Tezuka's work to be known outside Japan, however is a mere re-script and there are many inconsistent names, missing episodes and re-scripts.

The media alike often gives false advertising as if Tezuka liked the dub, while in reality he was forced to lose most of his rights of author because of the changes.

Also, it's worth of note the protagonist is never called as "Astro Boy" in the original Tetsuwan Atom canon and instead just as "Atom".

"Tetsuwan" is just an adjective and NOT a name which explains why Atom is not called as "Tetsuwan Atom" in the original series written by Osamu Tezuka.

It's worth to know that Tezuka had not involviment in the scripts from the dub and as he claimed, the americans were too sensitive about fantasy violence, but at the same time they did had not trouble while sending soldiers to kill people in the southeast Asia.

Yes, he generalized since not all americans liked wars, but he was still not distant of the truth since the same politicians who claimed that his work was violent and should be changed were involved in cruel actions like the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam.

Dark Horse comics insisted in using the dubbed name due it's popularity in the american version of Tetsuwan Atom 1952 manga, however they contributed with false information since Tezuka was talking of his original work in all of introductions found in the manga and his dialogue was altered as if he liked the changes in the dub.

In one of the Dark Horse Astro Boy manga pages, Tezuka was talking about the "World's Greatest Robot" ark and the final Astro Boy episode, however these were never published in American territory since the dub had 104 episodes out of 193 from Tetsuwan Atom.

Astro Boy: Omega Factor also contribute with several false information since it uses the dubbed title and also have unexistent names (like the false names given to Dr. Yamanoue and Dr. Kawashimo) from Jetter Mars and also claims that Astro Boy had become extremelly popular in Japan when Pluto debutted in 1954.

However, it's worth to know that Pluto's saga was not dubbed and Astro Boy is a dubbed title appearing only in 1966 and not 1952 as the media likes to say.

Overpopularity doesn't justify false information about the original work.

That's the reason which Uran have nothing to do with the Astro Boy dubbed series since it's filled with re-scripts and false information given by the media.
