Ok, I was hoping somebody here would know this. In the 1980s astroboy boxset, released by manga entertainment, I know that the first 2 episodes have been edited into one episode. But, besides this, are all the other episodes uncut and unedited, or do they have the any of the cuts or edits that were made when the show first aired in the U.S, even if you watch it subtitled? According to this wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Boy_(1980_TV_series) it says the australian had more deleted scenes, but I know sometimes wikipedia gets things wrong. Is this a mistake, or does the manga leave some scenes out, besides the ones omitted from the first 2 episodes? I would really appreciate it if someone could clear this up for me. Thank you!

the last disc has some deleted scenes (like Uran's song in this one ep and a Tezuka intro in another), not sure if it's all the scenes though, but yes, it has at least some deleted scenes at the very least. The episodes on the discs are probably the edited versions (although with the Japanese track if you put it on), since I remember watching the episode, then the deleted scenes and went "yep, those weren't in the ep".
The set does have the original Japnese sound (both voices and music which I highly reccomend) and is put in the original Japnese broadcast order regardless of language selected (and the whole thing makes more sense for it). I'm not sure about in episode cuts though, since I never saw it on TV back in the 80's (considering I wasn't yet born), and I think the first two un-spliced episodes of the 1980s series exist on youtube (which is honestly much better than watching what they did to it in the American release, I'd just watch those two eps on youtube and skip the first ep on the DVD set. It doesn't help that a later episode makes a flashback part to a part that was cut out in America, although it doesn't cut out the flashback, leading swiftly to "WTF?"s when a new characters suddenly shows up that Astro knows and the audience does not.) *edit: for future ref, this sort of stuff usually goes in the retail section of the forum |
