Astro Boy DVD Set Contest

Blast off with the all-new ASTRO BOY, a state-of-the-art update of Tezuka Osamu's classic series that started the anime explosion. Filled with exciting action, humor, and drama, ASTRO BOY tells the story of a young robot boy modeled after the deceased son of a research scientist. This atomic-powered robot becomes a reluctant superhero who fights for justice and peace – for humans and robots alike! For the first time on DVD, this collector's edition contains the entire 50-episode series on 5 discs, with 29 episodes never before aired in the United States.
