This is the perfect tribute to Astro Boy. This is so beautiful. It made me cry so dang hard and boy did it feel good. That line…. “Even heroes have the right to plead.” Sounds like something Astro would actually say. Astro Boy is very special, even though he’s a fictional robot. We love you, Mighty Atom. 💖
I honestly adored this AMV at AFO and was shocked it didn't get anything. I've never even watched this anime and it was the only video that I really felt a connection to. This is a wonderful tribute!
1:07 started breaking down and crying at that part, it was just so wholesome and beautiful it just shows how much Tenma loves/loved him and the beginning of the video just broke my heart because I never saw the part showing HOW Tobio died only that he was in a traffic accident
This is probably really late (considering this video was made years ago :,3) But I must say, that this is one of my favorite AMVs of Astro Boy. The music also fits perfectly for him and, to me, sheds light on a different side of Astro Boy. I just started watching Astro Boy (1980 and 2003 versions) because I remembered watching the 2009 movie when I was a little kid. And lemme just say, I got sucked into the movie so much back then. I wished I hadn't forgotten about it though. But here I am now, getting sucked into the AMVs, (crying a little maybe while doing so), and binging Astro Boy episodes. ;3; .. also this comment was longer than I intended for it to be.
Always better late than never I saw. Thank you for commenting. I love knowing people are still enjoying this video. I want to make more but patience and inspiration has been difficult
Hey, I was reading your comments on Shin's page and I just wanted to say, your Astroboy AMV was AMAZING. For your first time entering a contest, you should be incredibly proud. This AMV really touched me. Thank you so much for making it and submitting it at anime cons, so I could see it.
+skylights22 Thank you so much. I am proud of my accomplishment. Wanted to bring some Astro Boy love to Anime Boston and I did it so I'm very proud of that. Sorry for the late reply
I was at anime Boston and the first time i went to the amv contest I immediately wanted this amv to win the drama category! this amv was one of the reasons why I went to the second showing of the amv contest! This is just such a wonderful and well made video and I am proud to have voted for it twice during anime Boston!
I actually have only seen the movie that came out a few years ago but this amv did get me to want to see the actual series so I have seen a couple episodes so far and it is adorable! And I love adorable things.
Mackenzie O'Brien aww, great ^^ Have you been able to find the Japanese version? and yeah, I like cute things too. Especially cute robots XD It would've been nice to win Anime Boston but I loved just getting to play there since as far as I know, I'm the first and only one to have an Astro Boy video play there. Gotta represent XD
+Dragonrider1227 I never looked up the japanese version. i saw your suggestion to one of the other comments so i might try there. the version that i found had a car crash like an actual car so i wanted to try a different version too.
Mackenzie O'Brien Okay. If you're enjoying the dub, that's great but so you know, it is censored and even missing an entire episode. To say it's not my favorite anime dub would be an understatement XD
trstione Oh yeah, I've had this up for a couple of weeks. I'm glad you liked it so much ^__^ I'm thinking of doing others. Most likely Astro Boy related again XD
+zachwolfe239 aww, thank you ^__^ It's a great series if you can find the Japanese version (which is kind of hard since the American DVD only comes with the dub which cuts out a lot of the heart of the show but I know of a couple of streaming sites with it if you're interested)
chelsearocks777 That is the greatest compliment you could've given me. Thank You =D I sent you a private note but I don't trust UA-cam's private message system, please let me know if you get it alright.
I remember looking at your previews on the video and I remember that there were a few things I liked in the beta versions and preferred...but that doesn't matter this still is beautiful and good job with it!
I love this video, the feels are so strong and I'm such a sap. :P It's also awesome to know there still are people making Astro Boy videos, and of such quality as well. I saw a number of Astro Boy AMVs that were made around 2010, possibly from people who discovered the story through the movie, given the timing of those videos' uploads, but the same channels either have gone inactive or stopped making videos of the type. This video added to my inspiration to make Astro Boy AMVs. Do you plan on making any more? I'd love to see the outcome if so. :D
Thank you very much. And you're right. The biggest reason I made this was because so few people out there are making Astro Boy AMVs anymore and even fewer are sending them to conventions. I am planning more actually.
Dragonrider1227 That's great to know you're making more! Especially since seeing in the comment section of this video that some people actually started watching Astro Boy because they saw this. :D
ChaosSparky Thank you ^^ That's the best compliment you could've given me. If you get to it, try to find the Japanese version. It's hard but well worth it. And I hear ya. So much anime, so little time X__X
Dragonrider1227 I think you did well on this one. It's not the type of song I'd normally listen to, but I enjoyed it in this amv. If I do watch Astro boy, I'll be sure to find it in Japanese. Also, thanks for watching my amvs :D
ChaosSparky That's great. Let me know if you need help finding it in Japanese. It's not easy but I managed it. Took me so long to make this video because it took me so long to find the Japanese version XD You're welcome. You have good videos =D
Congrats on winning! I'm Calypso399 btw, you may recognize me from da, anyway, what a beautiful video! Where did you get those clips? I can only find a few episodes of the Japanese version.
+sondash159 Thank you ^^ I found them on a torrent site. Nyaa.se to be exact. It's also streaming on kissanime and animewow. And I don't think I saw you on dA before but I'm looking at your gallery now. Good stuff :)
0:56 is from episode 7 (epsiode 4 I think in the dub) "Astro vs Atlas" but was cut from the English version I think. 1:24: is from episode 20 "Eternal Boy" but was completely skipped in the dubbed version.
Dragonrider1227 do you know where I can find the episode that actually shows 0:56 and 1:24, no matter language it is in? I think it’s in Japanese, I can understand Japanese but can’t find the episode!
It's really good and i like astro boy 2003 in czech version. Of course i like everything of Astro boy ^w^ (sorry for my bad english, i'm from Slovakia😅)
Woah woah woah!!!! What episode at the beginning?!! I've watched the whole series twice now and that wasn't in it!!! Can someone give a link to where I can wat h those episode s please?
Dracey The Anime Fan I'm so glad you liked my video and shared it. To answer your question, you mean the scene where Tobio dies right? It's from episode 50 but only in the Japanese version. Which is why I made sure to use it.
Dracey The Anime Fan I'm not normally against dubs. In fact I can watch most 4Kids dubs XD But this one really bothered me. Maybe it's because I actually saw the first six episodes in Japanese before the dub aired so I already knew what it was supposed to be. I had also read the original manga.
I recall in the documentary the DVD comes with, the American part of the show's development said they wanted to "focus on his hero side rather than his child side." Most likely to make it more an "action series" to sell toys to boys with and they didn't believe boys would be interested in a hero that cried, played with toys, or do any of the cute things we all love from Astro :/ And the stuff involving Tobio's death was probably just considered too dark for American kid shows. This did air on Kids WB after all. I noticed they tried to hide that Atlas was also built to replace someone's dead son as well which in my opinion ruins a huge aspect to the Ying/Yang thing Astro and Atlas are meant to be. (Yeah, I could go into LOOONG rants about this dub XD)
Dracey The Anime Fan You mean at 0:55? In Episode 6 which is episode 3 in the dubbed version. But like the beginning scene, it's only in the Japanese version
Charmander297 AJ yeah one of my inspirations for making this was the simple fact that no one else was making and sending these for Astro Boy so I decided to do it myself
thank you for the head's up, I'll certainly want to check out the series. most of the other amvs showing off the series are kinda, well, not great, so this was pretty refreshing
yeah, it is hard to find good AMVs for this. Glad you liked this :) Check Kissanime if you want to watch the Japanese version. Unfortunately, no official streaming sites have that. Just dubbed. Which normally I don't mind but this dub wasn't handled well at all
Dragonrider1227 Dunno if you know, but this AMV was actually talked about and shown off a bit during an interview on Pause and Select's channel. Just making sure you're aware.
Dragonrider1227 Pause and Select is a UA-camr that makes quality analysis of mostly japanese media from an academic perspective. The video in question is one in which he was interviewing a scholar who was doing a thesis on AMVs of all things. She talked about your AMV in a positive light. You can thank mr by subbing to my channel, I make AMVs as well and wouldn't be opposed to a little 'constructive feedback' 'nowamsayin?
I'm afraid it didn't. I lost to this ua-cam.com/video/SnSaBI1U_24/v-deo.html But considering 42 videos competed for the Drama finalists and I was among the only 5 got in, can't say I can complain that much XD
Dragonrider1227 I love Shin's AMVs, If I had to make up a top 50 ever they'd probably have 5 at least in there... maybe more. I'm surprised they don't win best editing out of boredom most years. But Honestly the category is drama not mind fuck. This AMV brought more feels for me, more happiness and sadness. I love the song choice. I felt the drama was better. I'm also a nostalgia whore though, so what do I know. Please make more, I would love to see them.
TDK88888888 Thank you :) I do have other ideas that if all goes well I'll put one of together for next year. Unsure if lighting will strike twice for me but we'll see
Dragonrider1227 Firstly, I want to say that this was a lovely video, and easily my second favorite in the category. One thing about this discussion I noticed though, is that you are looking too much at the idea that a drama should win based on their "feelings" department, when that isn't all a drama is. Most contests actually would have your video go in a romance/sentimental category as your video gives off that nice well sentimental feeling xD. Boston has all dramas and all romances completely separate, which is why there is a mash of videos like the ones you mentioned and also Shin's video as well as the video that played first in the contest. They are darker and don't have as many feelings naturally, but that doesnt make them any less applicable to the category. The reason I chose shin's video at the contest, for example, was because I was thinking about all of the technical work he had in his video and the over all near perfect timing and harmony the visuals had with the audio source. Yours does possess that harmony and is timed decently, but I still believe Shin's surpassed it on that level. I'm not trying to talk down on your video or anything because again, it is great, and was one of my favorites in the contest, but I felt like it was important to explain that, like anything else, there are many different types of drama videos and its merit should not be based solely on "oh how many feels am I getting from this?" Again, it is amazing to just get into the contest so a big congrats to you on that!
moonlightwolf370 Okay, yeah you're right. I'm not putting down Shin's video in the least bit. if Shin's reading this, I hope he doesn't take it that way. I enjoyed the video a lot and drama can take many forms but it personally wasn't the form of drama that sticks with me. Hmm, you think other contests would put it in Sentimental? I've been sending it to other cons that do have "Sentimental" under "Drama." I hope that doesn't hurt my chances with them. The way I saw it, drama would mean it was out to make cry sadly, and sentimental would be out to make you cry happily. Maybe my genre definitions are too narrow... Thank You for the compliments. :) I hope my narrow thinking didn't make me look like a jerk... I feel bad about that comment now. I'm getting rid of it. -_-
Yes it is. This particular version comes from 2003 but the character dates back to the 50s and 60s and is regarded as one of the first modern animes. The creator (Osamu Tezuka) took lots of inspiration from old Disney and Max Fleischer cartoons so there is a resemblance to them but it is an anime.
Dragonrider1227 Astro Boy was also in some magazines in the 1940s. I thought I remember seeing that somewhere while researching. I’ve been watching Astro since I was little.
***** ohh I didn't know that. If you're talking about the English release I didn't pay attention to that. I'm not normally a dub hater but I really didn't like that dub
I love it, it's so delicate and shows the real spirit of Astro Boy.
This is the perfect tribute to Astro Boy. This is so beautiful. It made me cry so dang hard and boy did it feel good. That line…. “Even heroes have the right to plead.” Sounds like something Astro would actually say. Astro Boy is very special, even though he’s a fictional robot. We love you, Mighty Atom. 💖

Dragonrider1227 yeah thankfully I found a channel that had the Japanese version with English subtitles

I'm not trying to talk down on your video or anything because again, it is great, and was one of my favorites in the contest, but I felt like it was important to explain that, like anything else, there are many different types of drama videos and its merit should not be based solely on "oh how many feels am I getting from this?" Again, it is amazing to just get into the contest so a big congrats to you on that!
moonlightwolf370 Okay, yeah you're right. I'm not putting down Shin's video in the least bit. if Shin's reading this, I hope he doesn't take it that way. I enjoyed the video a lot and drama can take many forms but it personally wasn't the form of drama that sticks with me.
Hmm, you think other contests would put it in Sentimental? I've been sending it to other cons that do have "Sentimental" under "Drama." I hope that doesn't hurt my chances with them. The way I saw it, drama would mean it was out to make cry sadly, and sentimental would be out to make you cry happily. Maybe my genre definitions are too narrow...
Thank You for the compliments. :) I hope my narrow thinking didn't make me look like a jerk... I feel bad about that comment now. I'm getting rid of it. -_-
is this really an Anime ? looks more like a kids' cartoon
Yes it is. This particular version comes from 2003 but the character dates back to the 50s and 60s and is regarded as one of the first modern animes. The creator (Osamu Tezuka) took lots of inspiration from old Disney and Max Fleischer cartoons so there is a resemblance to them but it is an anime.
Dragonrider1227 Astro Boy was also in some magazines in the 1940s. I thought I remember seeing that somewhere while researching. I’ve been watching Astro since I was little.
wow
Thanks :)
