That's awesome! We'll get to see some of the stuff that never got released outside of Japan ^__^

Wow. First of all, that is quite an assortment of titles. Second of all, with all this going on for Tezuka's 80th birthday anniversary, I can only imagine what they'll be doing twenty years from now.

Princess Knight and Black Jack will be a welcome treat but I'm a little skeptical about Astro Boy considering that the 60's series is owned by Right Stuf, the 80's series is owned by Manga Entertainment and the 2003 series is owned by Sony.

Could they even put up Astro Boy at all? I for one would love to see the entire 80's and 2003 series uncut.

Also, I have to wonder.... does this also cover anime works that Tezuka was only involved with on a small creative level, but did not outright create, such as the two Unico movies, Unico's Fantastic Adventures and Unico In The Island Of Magic?

Because i've been looking and waiting everywhere for good quality editions of these for a long, long time.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Seems a little unfair to Mac users to say the least. And I am a huge Tezuka fan.... Crying or Very sad

but the question is will the manga be in english? and will the anime be in english subbed or dubbed?

that question needs to be answered.

if its not, then its pointless to put them on english site.

This makes me so happy that I could cry and it still wouldn't be enough to express how I feel. I'd been wanting to read/see more Tezuka series the moment I saw Black Jack xD.

Colorized! Woo-hoo! Laughing

Obviously, they'll only be putting up works involving Tezuka that they have the rights to. (Ah! Ending with a preposition!)

Admittedly I don't know a lot of Tezuka's works, and the little I do know about I don't much care for, but I'll have to admit; this sounds beyond awesome.

Incredible news! Hopefully the translations will be up to scratch.
