1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 5, 2006

This review is from: Astro Boy - Greatest Astro Adventures (DVD)

I bought this to relive childhood memories. Its fine except that two of the episodes are part one of a two part story. That was frustrating. The people who put these together should have thought that through.

2.0 out of 5 stars Alterations included, September 25, 2006

This review is from: Astro Boy - Greatest Astro Adventures (DVD)

While the visual aspects of these episodes appear true to the original series, the audio tracks appear to have been redone, updated. If, like me, you were looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the original unadulterated versions you saw as a kid, then I think you would find this a disappointment.
