[OT] It's Astroboy's birthday!

[Krug]

...According to the original story by the late Osamu Tezuka, Astro Boy was created on April 7, 2003, in a fictitious laboratory. Astro Boy is a 1.35-metre-tall robot with the heart of a little boy, built by a tormented scientist whose son died in a car accident.

Yeah of course. Tezuka, who created Astroboy in the 60s, time traveled and ripped off Spielberg.

They had a picture in the paper today here of a parade that was held in honor of the creation of Tetsuwan Atom. It was great to see! People out there, dressed up as characters from the anime.

*sigh* I love this place.
