This is driving me nuts. Anyone here familiar with the new Astro Boy cartoon? I am, and I've become a bit of a fan, but there are really very, VERY few places on the internet to find much about it.

Specifically, the theme song. I'd love to get an MP3 of it, but it seems to be VERY elusive. I keep finding the old theme song from the 80s or 60s or 50s or some other version of the show... but the one I want is basically the same one they have here. It's integrated into the Flash site, though, so I can't seem to figure out how to get at it.

'Little help?

Shit, I used to have it, but I just checked and it seems I deleted it. But I'll see if I can find it again

Good news, I found it :)

A member of this Astroboy forum: http://www.astroboy-online.com/forums/index.php?s=70d93f6db5aefb9461ae6248dedaf911

runs this FTP: FTP://ast:ast@142.179.63.219:6872/

On it you'll find the new theme song, plus LOADS more. (about a year ago I downloaded the first three eps of the new series, in japanese, but I haven't really checked for any more since)

The song you want is the "ZONE - True Blue" one


Say, do you know if the new series is shown in Canada..?

Thanks... now, how do I get to the FTP?

And yeah, we get it in Canada :)

if you paste the address FTP://ast:ast@142.179.63.219:6872/ (FTP://ast:ast@142.179.63.219:6872/) in your browser window, it should connect. Or to connect conventially using a regular FTP client, connect to host 142.179.63.219, port 6872, both username and password ast.


What channel, man?! when!

Hmm, tried the past, page didn't come up. And FTP client isn't doing much better, it doesn't even ask for a port.

And it's on YTV at 3:30pm Saturdays. :)

Eeexcellent.

As for the FTP... I think it may be pretty wonky right now... I'm having troubles with it myself...

...and it's not the theme. How very strange.

It's not? Well then, I assure you that it IS the Japanese version's theme. :/

Sorry, didn't know the english version would be different. But at any rate, I'm sure it's there on the FTP. I am positive someone would have uploaded it by now.

Aha, yeah. The theme I'm looking for plays as the background of that site I linked to :)

Yep, guess the English version is different after all.

That wouldn't even fully load for me.

Internet's workin' great today, isn't it?

That makes me Sad... so very very sad.

If it wasn't for Astroboy, Teen Titans wouldn't even have that played out Americanized Anime look that it does.

All or most of Astro Boy's BGMs in the show are taken out for techno, but the show is still good and it's opening is more tolerable than say NT Warrior's.

I'm wondering if the New Gigantor will make it to North America, and if it does will they use the classic dub names like Dick Strong? Yes there was a character named Dick Strong in dub Gigantor, and everyone always said his full name. In one ep the Police Chief was so glad to see him, he cried out his name with glee and jumped into his arms.

I'm not surprised, but at least the new theme is catchy in its own right, even if it's not as highly-produced as the Japanese one.
