| That's very unfortunate that only 58 episodes survived time... |

Wow, didn't know this sort of thing existed. This reminds me of that old 'Flash Gordon' serial.
I'd be interested to just see a clip. |

| Wow, this looks....incredibly weird. I don't think a live-action Astro Boy could work NOW, let alone 50 years ago. I definatly would like to see this show in action, though. |

I'm surprised as many as 58 episodes survived from that long ago.
Perhaps a few more will surface over time, it has happened with older Dr Who, perhaps with Astro. |

| Somehow, memories of Gerry Anderson spring to mind when I see this image. I suspect these episodes would be fascinating for fans of special effects from that era, along with Tezuka collectors. |

I know..that same VHS tape also contains the only episode of the Tezuka Anime series BIG 'X' that I have ever come across. |

Just wait, everything is bound to be released sooner or later-I just wish it were easier to obtain the Japan only stuff, like this DVD box of the live action Mighty Atom...Back in the day, I was very active in tape trading with friends,hence my large collection,which I really should try to convert to DVD before they deteriorate. |
