"New" Astroboy trailer 2003 series

June 12, 2005

"The Time Machine" episode and a question about how Blackjack relates to it

Taken from Astroboy-online

Among the usual casts of this series is Black Jack himself and his trusty daughter, Pooi Pooi (Chinese Translated) who seems a bit too mature for her age. Yet the mystery still remains, who is she actually? And if she's Black Jack's daughter, who's the mother?

His only companion is a 'girl' named Pinnoko, who appears to be a child, but is really much older. She was a Teratogenous Cystoma, a twin which developed within her sister's body. Blackjack removed Pinnoko, and developed a prostetic body for her to use.

Since Season Two just came out on DVD (got to buy that soon)...

How's the episode quality in general compared to Season One?

What's your favorite episode from Season Two?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It was great overall although I was being a little picky and didn't quite enjoy the shows as much as I did the last time I watched them. I was going to say the 2nd season was better than the 1st but now I'm not so sure. Let's take a closer look.

Season 1

I (The Beginning)

2. 1-2 607-002 10-Aug-2001 II (The Samurai called Jack)

3. 1-3 607-003 10-Aug-2001 III (The First Fight)

4. 1-4 607-004 13-Aug-2001 IV (Jack, the Woolies, and the Chritchellites)

5. 1-5 20-Aug-2001 VII (Jack and the Three Blind Archers)

6. 1-6 27-Aug-2001 V (Jack in Space)

7. 1-7 03-Sep-2001 IX (Jack Under the Sea)

8. 1-8 15-Oct-2001 VIII (Jack vs. Mad Jack)

9. 1-9 607-011 29-Oct-2001 XI (Jack and the Scotsman)

10. 1-10 05-Nov-2001 X (Jack and the Lava Monster)

11. 1-11 19-Nov-2001 VI (Jack and the Warrior Woman)

12. 1-12 26-Nov-2001 XII (Jack and the Gangsters)

13. 1-13 03-Dec-2001 XIII (Aku's Fairy Tales)

The highlights of that season were

A)The Beginning

B)The first Fight

C)Jack and the 3 Blind Archors

D)Jack Under the Sea

E)Jack and THe Scotsman

F)Jack and the Lava Monster

G)Jack and the Gangsters

Now it gets tough to pick them apart. I would say the highlights from those would be A)Jack and the 3 Blind Archors and E) Jack and the Scotsman with the Scotsman episode being the best of them all.

Now if we take a look at the 2nd DVD we got:

14. 1-14 01-Mar-2002 XIV (Jack Learns to 'Jump Good')

15. 1-15 08-Mar-2002 XV (Jack Tales)

16. 1-16 15-Mar-2002 XVI (Jack and the Smackback)

17. 1-17 22-Mar-2002 XVII (Jack and the Scotsman, Part 2)

18. 1-18 607-018 29-Mar-2002 XVIII (Jack and the Ultra-robots)

19. 1-19 05-Apr-2002 XIX (Jack Remembers the Past)

20. 1-20 607-020 12-Apr-2002 XX (Jack and the Monks)

Season 2

21. 2-1 06-Sep-2002 XXI (Jack and the Farting Dragon)

22. 2-2 607-019 13-Sep-2002 XXII (Jack and the Hunters)

23. 2-3 20-Sep-2002 XXIII (Jack vs Demongo, the Soul Collector)

24. 2-4 27-Sep-2002 XXIV (Jack is Naked)

25. 2-5 04-Oct-2002 XXV (Jack and the Spartans)

26. 2-6 11-Oct-2002 XXVI (Jack's Sandals)

Jack Learns to "Jump Good" -- Great ep to start off with. Personally I took to it because I love to train and the way they train here is somewhat similar to what you would see in Dragonball Z. The training techniques are serious but hilarious in their over the topness. The "Jump Good" phrase is a great comedic line.

Jack Tales is pretty good though the episodes are cut off into 3 individual stories so there's no real time for them to do anything with it. The first 2 stories are the best with the first one having a super long quote by Jack which is one of the best quotes I've ever heard in my life. I've been thinking about putting it one my signatures.

Jack and the Smackback (DOme of Doom) up to this point is the best of the second DVD. Basically it's all fighting where Jack takes on challenger after challenger in the dome of Doom. We're wrestling fans. We love this kind of stuff. This episode is full of tributes from -- Well, I'll just let TVtome.com do the talking --

Notes

First UK showing : 16th October 2002 6:30pm on CNX

All of the "proverbs" that the warrior Ganeesh thinks he is quoting, he is quoting incorrectly. He is probably trying to impress the crowd - and Jack - because of a big ego, while to an educated person (such as Jack, and hopefully most viewers) he sounds ridiculous.

WP -- I also noticed the Bruce Lee tributes in this. The way Jack gets cut and his eagerness to take off his shirt at the first opportunity.

JACK AND THE SCOTSMAN PART II -- I was dissapointed in this one. Nowhere near the first Scotsman episode as a good part of the humour here didn't do anything for me. The ending I didn't care for either but I will say in this episode's defence that it was one of the creator's top 5 episodes so maybe others will like it. They actually show how they made this episode as a bonus on the DVD.

JACK AND THE ULTRA ROBOTS -- ONe of the best episodes of the entire series. A candidate for best ep. Jack has to take on these super robots who have destroyed village after village and robot after robot. Jack's in the most trouble he's ever been during the entire series here. Also a top 5 favourite of Tartokovsky (excuse the spelling) for the 2nd DVD set.

JACK AND THE PAST -- Basically this is just Jack remembering stuff about the past. Jack hardly says a word in this. I liked it a lot

JACK AND THE MONKS -- Why do people climb a mountain? "Because it's there". Terrific ep. Basically Jack loses his eye of the tiger and 3 monks somehow notice this and all 4 of them start climbing a mountain. The monks say something like "truth" is at the top of the mountain if I remember right.

I loved everything about this episode. One of my favourites. Just basically everything in it had that cool vibe to it. Also had a great action sequence that put the test on Jack's eye of the tiger spirit where Jack and this -- well I'm not ruining it.

JACK AND THE FARTING DRAGON -- Pretty good but not great.

JACK AND THE HUNTERS -- Top candidate for best episode ever. I would say it's best enjoyed on first viewing more because you have no idea on what's going to happen. The best hunters in the galacy do Aku's dirty work for him and hunt down Jack.

JACK vs DEMONGO The SOUL COLLECTOR

Great ep. Cool concept. Make sure to Look closely at all of Demongo's warriors as one of them is clearly noticeable. I don't know the laws of Samuari Jack's world but it seems to me that Demongo could actually take out Aku.

JACK IS NAKED

Offbeat episode that's a tribute to Alice in Wonderland and old style cartoons. A CENTIPEDE!!!!! !!!!!! tribute is in this! Pretty good ep.

JACK AND THE SPARTANS

I think this got nominated for an emmy. Pretty good although I think others may take to it more than me. There's also a commentary track for this ep.

JACK'S SANDALS

Okay ep. A comedy ep about shoes.

To answer the question the 2nd DVD set is probably better though the best couple of episodes from each DVD are certainly debatable. Jack and the Scotsman from the frst DVD set may still be the best episode. Hard to say.

Cool. Do you find it easier to order through the mail?

I got mine at a store in the mall here which is impressive since while the town nearby isn't small it's not that big either.

Edit -- Been noticing that all the Star Wars fans around me (I'm not really one) have taken to the Clone Wars series by Tartokorvsky (forgive the spelling)

Art Sandusky · June 16, 2005

He's a great cartoonist, but totally wrong for the style of Star Wars.

He's a great cartoonist, but totally wrong for the style of Star Wars.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Interesting, I was on IMDB and most approved of his work. I haven't seen it myself yet but even if I did or do I wouldn't be the best to judge since I'm a not a big Star Wars mark. I lits bits and pieces of the shows but not the whole sum of the product.

What kind of style do you think would be best for the series?

I'm done with chapter 23:

Chapter 22: Groundbreaking II

Zircon was walking up the stairs, happy as ever, until she suddenly heard Dr. Tenma’s voice again! *You know that Dr. O’shay was lying to you the whole time, Zircon,* he said. Zircon was shocked and stopped going up the stairs. *You thought trying to forget about me, was the only way to not be so worried? Forgetting never works! Besides, I’ve heard that even people think that you’re too dangerous to be around!* Zircon quickly covered her mouth with both hands. *I will keep getting into your mind, until you’ll soon fork over that jewel! After that, I will take over Metro City, and your life will be ruined forever!* Zircon quickly put her hands over her ears, and started acting depressed. *Please, I just wish this nightmare was over!* she thought severely upset. She quickly ran up the stairs into Astro’s bedroom. Zircon spotted Astro sitting on his bed. He noticed Zircon came into his room in a big hurry. Her eyes were filling up with tears. “I overheard you and Dr. O’shay talking about Dr. Tenma,” Astro said. “It’s a nightmare, Astro!” Zircon said. “I can’t take this anymore! Tenma will never get off my mind! It’s just going to keep bothering me until I’m destroyed!” Still standing, Zircon put her hands over face, and starts crying. Astro was surprisingly shocked, and walks over towards Zircon; trying to calm her down. He put one of his hands on her shoulders, and looked straight at her eyes. “Don’t say that, Zircon,” Astro said. “Dr. Tenma is only doing this so you could give up that jewel on your forehead a lot faster.” Zircon took her hands off of her face, and jerked around to get Astro’s hand off of her shoulder. “I know!” she said loudly. Astro was shocked. He never realized that Zircon all of a sudden gets mad at him. “You’ve told me tons of times, and now I’m getting frustrated from it!” Astro soon gets his confidence back. “What else do you want me to say?” Astro asked. “Doctor, Zoran, and even I, try our best to help keep your mind off of Dr. Tenma! Other than that, we still don’t even know your creator’s name! Not even you can remember it!”

Zircon was shocked. She then sighs and tilted her head down. Astro calms down. “Why can’t you still understand that we’re trying to help you?” Astro asked. “I’m sorry, Astro,” Zircon said. She walked towards her bed, and sits on it. “You don’t seem to know how bad my life has been so far. I can’t remember my creator’s name; Dr. Tenma won’t stop bugging me, and even though this jewel is so powerful, I now realize that people think I’m too dangerous to even be around them.” Zircon stood up and walked over to the window. She did nothing but gazed outside the window, or looked at her reflection. “Where did you get the information about people being afraid of you?” Astro asked. “I heard Dr. Tenma talking to me in my mind while I was going up the stairs,” Zircon said. She then turned to look at Astro. “Astro, I’m really scared. What are we going to do?” Astro walked towards Zircon. Standing behind her, he put his hands on her shoulders. He looked at Zircon’s eyes while she turned her head to look at Astro’s eyes. “We’ll do the best we can, Zircon,” Astro said smiling. “No matter what, Doctor, Zoran, your friends, and I will always be by your side to help defeat him.” Zircon’s frown quickly turns into a happy smile. “Thanks, Astro,” she said. “Let’s just hope we’ll defeat him, for good.” Without interrupting, Dr. O’shay came up the stairs, and overheard Astro’s and Zircon conversation. He smiles and thought, *Sometimes, Astro’s words cheers me up a lot. I’m just glad I have a robot that can create tons of speeches.* Doctor walks towards his bedroom, also carrying a happy mood.

Meanwhile, in Dr. Tenma’s lair, Tenma acting severely upset; mad enough to slam his fists onto a table, and leaving cracks in it. “I was so close!” he yelled. “Those robots I’ve created should’ve been strong enough to destroy Zircon!” Tenma looks at his battle-bot blueprints. He soon had another idea in mind. “Wait a minute, what if I rearrange these blueprints to make something new? I’ll create a robot holding over 30 different abilities, including the ones Astro and maybe even Zircon has! This robot will have 1,000,000 horsepower, multiplying abilities, transformation, and much more! Soon enough, Zircon will have to fork over the jewel!”

Any suggestions?

Partly Off Topic:Tenma never gives up does he?

Well, except from episode 50:The Final Battle, in the series.

This, is different.

This is like showing a full-lenth movie right after the 50th episode.

When it's finished, I could probably get it published right after I get the mistakes out.

Since in the first chapter, he realized that Zircon's jewel holds tons of power, and now, he never gives up until the jewel is in his possession.

Right now, I'm thinking of a trailer for it.

I'll post it in as a script either today, or another time.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Once again a continuation of Tic Tac Astro's story:

First the Trailor:

If I were to make this story a movie, I need to make a trailer.

So, here's the trailer I made, but it's in script form:

Narrator: Everything Astro did to save the world, had finally made his dream come true. A few months has then passed, and a new robot was then awakened by Dr. Tenma; from being lost deep into the ocean. When too much energy was used, the robot malfunctioned, and destroyed Dr. Tenma's lair. And now, Tenma realized that using the robot's power, he could destroy Metro City!

(Area moves to Dr. O'shay's house)

Astro:A robot!

Zoran:How did it get here, Doctor?

Doctor:I don't know, but let me take it to the ministry to awaken it.

(Doctor returns from the ministry)

Doctor:I would like you two to meet, Zircon.

(Astro and Zoran were amazed)

Astro:How did you end up on our front lawn?

Zircon:Somebody awakened me, but that person give me energy I'm not compatible with. He had almost spiky hair on his head, and the same on his chin.

Everyone except Zircon:TENMA!

(Farther in the movie, in Astro's bedroom)

Zircon:I now realize that Dr. Tenma wants to steal this jewel from me. Without it, I'm done for.

Astro:Don't worry, Zircon. Doctor, Zoran, your friends and I will always be by your side to help protect you.

(Zircon smiles)

Narrator:Meanwhile, at Tenma's lair...

Tenma:If an army of battle bots didn't work, I'll create an ultimate robot holding tons of abilities that will force Zircon to fork over the jewel! *laughs evilly*

(Tenma soon sends out the robot while Astro, Zoran, Zircon, Doctor, Alejo, Kennedy, and Abercrombie were outside)

(The robot multipies into multiple robots)

Zircon:Dr. Tenma is creating a huge robot invasion! He's doing it to steal the jewel!

Astro:I'm not going to let him do that!

(A huge battle broke out, but the multiple robots soon snatched everyone into the air, and brung them to Dr. Tenma's lair. Everyone was locked up, except for Zircon)

Tenma:Fork over that jewel, or your friends are history!

Astro:Don't do this, Zircon!

Zoran:We're your friends!

Doctor:He's just doing this for power!

Zircon *mumbles*:I have no choice...

(Screening suddenly blacks out)

Narrator:What choice will Zircon have?

(Screening then shows quick pics after Zircon's decision)

Narrator:Astro Boy:Zircon's Jewel.

Rated "PG" (I made that up...)

That's my trailer.

Reply A.S.A.P for any suggestions!!!

More Story!

Astro thought Zircon had a nightmare, but to Zircon, she had a vision!

Chapter 23: Zircon’s Dr. Tenma Nightmare

It was almost eight o’ clock, and Astro and Zircon were both dressed in their pajamas. “Wow,” Zircon said. “The weekend went by fast.” Astro nodded. “Yeah,” he said. “But don’t bother with it. It’ll come by again in five more days.” Zircon nods and then shows off an “Okay,” smile. Astro turned off the lights, and they both went to sleep.

Things didn’t go very well when Zircon was sleeping. She was tossing, turning, and even shivering. Due to this problem, she must be having a nightmare. In her nightmare, it shows, at first, her outside on a bright, lovely day in Metro City. Suddenly, with quick force, something plucked her jewel right off her forehead! Even though the jewel was off her forehead in her nightmare, she was still alive. *I’m alive?* she thought. Zircon tried to figure out what snagged the jewel of her forehead; she soon spotted one of Dr. Tenma’s robots; known to be a robot dog flying in mid-air. “My jewel! Without it, I can’t use any of my powers!” she yelled. The jewel was taken by the robot dog farther away from Zircon, until all of a sudden, the whole background changed from bright and happy, to cold and dark. Zircon noticed Dr. Tenma appearing in a huge visual television screen. He was wearing some type of emperor, ruler, or king clothes. He also had possession of the jewel that was inserted into his forehead instead of Zircon’s! “Dr. Tenma!” Zircon yelled. She then talks to herself, saying, “This isn’t a dream, it’s a nightmare!” Other than looking at the television screen, she noticed huge armies of battle-bots flying high in the air; destroying houses, stores, and even the Ministry of Science! Dr. Tenma started laughing evilly until Zircon turned around. “Excellent! This robot invasion is all coming to plan! Thanks to me, who created the ultimate robot, I, Dr. Tenma, the supreme ruler, will rename this city, Robot City!” He laughs once more, and Zircon gasped. With quick force, Zircon woke up in an instant.

Astro quickly woke up when he heard Zircon surprisingly awake. She was hyperventilating pretty fast. He got out of his bed and ran towards her bed. “What’s wrong, Zircon?” he asked, putting an arm on her shoulder. “Did you have a nightmare?” Zircon turned to look at Astro. “I don’t think it was a nightmare,” she said. “I think I just had a vision!” Astro was confused. “A vision?” he asked. “Showing what?” “It was showing what Dr. Tenma would do when he finally has the jewel,” said Zircon. “Before he steals it, he going to create a huge, robot invasion, have them snatch all of the citizens of Metro City, and hold them hostage until I fork the jewel over!” Astro took his hand off of Zircon’s shoulder. “What would happen afterwards?” “I’ve got a bad feeling that he’ll start threatening them until he has that jewel,” said Zircon, crossing her arms. “Since he wants the jewel so much, I just know that he’ll start threatening them.” Astro thought for a minute. “Well, there’s probably no way he’d do something like that while we’re at school tomorrow.” “Yeah, I guess you’re right,” said Zircon. “Let’s tell Dr. O’shay about the vision you had in the morning,” said Astro. “But, for now, let’s just get some more sleep.” Zircon nodded. Astro walked over to his bed, in order to turn off the lights, and they both went back to sleep.

UPDATE TIME courtest of Tic Tac Astro

Chapter 24: Dress up!

The next morning, Astro and Zircon got up and got dressed for school. Zircon took a huge glance at the clothes she was wearing. “You know,” she said. “I think I could use a new look other than wearing the same clothes every day.” Astro looked at Zircon. “Well, what kind of clothes would you like to wear?” he said. Zircon thought for a minute. “I feel like wearing something springy,” she said smiling while looking at Astro. “Maybe wearing a sport-type dress would work.” Using her jewel, she instantly changed her normal outfit into a sport dress; it was a red, short dress with the lining just above her knees. Zircon then looked at Astro’s boots. “Maybe I could change the style of my shoes to look like yours,” she said. “It’s going to look a little like yours, but it’ll be cut down to my ankles.” Astro acted confused. “How are you going to do that?” he asked. “Watch closely,” said Zircon. Using the jewel, Zircon scanned Astro’s boots. She created an outline, and cut off some of the parts that weren’t needed. She then fixed the size and shape.

According to what her shoes looked like before; brown shoes with triangular-shaped cutting on the top, she did the same for her new shoes. After she was finished creating her new shoes, she stopped using the jewel’s energy, and instantly, the shoes she created stood right in front of Astro; who was surprisingly amazed! “Wow,” he said. “You didn’t tell me your jewel could that, either.” Zircon smiled as walked towards her new shoes, and put them on. From her view, it had a great style and color that matched her sport dress. “How come you didn’t tell me about this?” She then looks at Astro, and says, “I didn’t know I had this kind of power either. I’ve been here for three days, and I still don’t know how they work yet. Right now, I’m just trying my best to keep this jewel in control.” Astro agreed with Zircon and nodded. He then remembered something. “I just remembered something, Zircon,” he said. “We need to tell Dr. O’shay about the vision you had last night.” Zircon stared at Astro, acting like he had no idea on what he was talking about. A few seconds later, her memory kicked in. “Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!” “We better tell him now before school starts.” said Astro. He then looks at the clock that is sitting on the nightstand near his bed. “It’s a quarter past eight. We’ve got at least forty-five minutes to tell him.” Zircon nodded, and they both headed out of the bedroom, and down the stairs.

Zoran was wide awake and already downstairs before Astro and Zircon. She always wants to get up before anyone else. Since today was a great day for her, as in she was enrolled in school, she was already dressed and was waiting by the door. Well, she was waiting by the door. Since Astro’s school doesn’t start until nine o’ clock, she started working on the three-hundred piece jigsaw puzzle Zircon left out on the coffee table yesterday. Astro and Zircon walked towards Dr. O’shay, who was sitting on a chair in the kitchen. “Good morning, Doctor,” said Astro. Doctor managed to say, “Good morning, you two.” to them, but he all of a sudden, gets shocked by the look in both of their eyes as soon as he took his nose out of the paper. “Wow, I’d thought I’d see you two when you say that, I guess that didn’t happen today.” “We’re sorry,” said Astro. “But there’s something really important that Zircon needs to tell you.” *Zircon has to tell me something?* Doctor thought. *I should’ve known she’d say that. But, I don’t understand. There were tons of things Zircon, Astro and I have already gone through. It went from talking about the jewel, to talking about Dr. Tenma. What does Zircon have to tell me this time? Will it be something located in any of the two topics?*

Any Suggestions?

Chapter 25: Zircon’s Vision

Zircon was just about to tell Dr. O’shay about her vision, until soon remembered something. “Hold that thought, Zircon,” he said, holding a finger at Zircon. “Zoran, may I have a word with you?” Zoran heard Doctor’s voice, and poked her head through the kitchen. “Yes, Doctor?” she asked. “I just remembered something,” said Doctor. “Do you remember sending those pictures you’ve taken, using your pet bird, Houdini, to Inspector Tawashi?” Zoran acted curious. “Yeah, about two days ago,” she said. “I gave Houdini the address, but now, I’m not sure if he gave the pictures to him. I haven’t got a report from Houdini lately, or Inspector Tawashi.” Doctor put one of his hands under his chin. Zoran fully stepped through the kitchen. “Well, let’s just hope Houdini gave them to Inspector Tawashi by now. I’ll bet he’ll come by here later on today.” “I hope you’re right about this, Zoran” Doctor said. He then turned to look at Astro and Zircon. “Zircon, you said before you have something to tell me?” Zircon nodded. “It’s about last night,” she said. “What about it?” Doctor asked. “I had a dream last night.” Doctor smiled. “Really? What was it about?” Astro and Zircon looked at each other, Astro nodded, then Zircon nodded, and they both looked at Dr. O’shay. “Let’s just say it wasn’t really a dream,” said Zircon. “Well, it wasn’t an ordinary dream.” “Oh?” Doctor said looking surprised. “What was it then?” “Zircon says she had a vision,” said Astro. “A vision? What was it showing?” “My vision was showing that Dr. Tenma was going to create a huge, robot invasion, to help him steal this jewel from me,” said Zircon. “Really?” Zoran said, cutting into their conversation. “Tenma never gives up, does he?” Zircon looked at Zoran. “All he wants is power, Zoran,” she said. “That’s all he cares about. I’m not sure if he even cares about the citizens of Metro City.” “I don’t think he does,” said Doctor. Zircon looked at Doctor. “It’s just like he has a mind of his own. He hardly cares about anybody who lives here. He just wants this city to be ruled by him; acting like it’s his own territory. But, he’s doing it all by force. The more he does this, the more he’s hurting the citizens of Metro City, and also destroys everything in his path.”

Zircon tilted her head down and thought about what Dr. O’shay said. She then looked at Doctor and said, “There’s something I don’t understand,” Doctor, Astro, and Zoran all looked at Zircon. “What’s not to understand?” Doctor asked. “Well, I know that he’s doing all of this, but after all of the things I’ve been through, I still don’t know my creator’s name. Can you try running a memory scan on me today, Doctor?” Doctor nodded. “I can empty your memory into a specialized memory bank,” he said. “And I’ll try to dig up everything I can on what’s left of your creator from your memory, but I don’t know how long it will take.” Zircon nodded. “That’s fine with me,” she said. Doctor nodded, and then looked at his watch. He noticed it was a quarter to nine. “You three better get going,” he said. “School will start in fifteen minutes.” Zoran was so excited to see her new classmates; she practically bounced off the walls. “Oh, I can’t wait! It feels like a perfect day for me!” Astro and Zircon looked at Zoran, and both giggled. Zircon then looked at Doctor. “Doctor,” she starts. “When will you start scanning my memory cells?” “Right after you three get out from school,” said Doctor. “Come by the Ministry of Science, and I’ll take care of everything from there. Astro will help you get there, and show you around the ministry.” Astro and Zircon looked at each other, and both nodded. Zoran was starting to lose her patience. “Come on, people!” she says. “Time is money! We can’t waste anymore time here!” Doctor looked at Zoran. “Calm down, Zoran,” he said getting up from his chair. “You need to be patient. There’s still plenty of time to get to school.” The four soon got outside.

Once they got outside, Zoran turned to look at Astro and Zircon. “We’re flying to school, right?” she asks. “We’re not taking Doctor’s air car, are we?” Astro and Zircon both shook their heads. “Of course not,” said Astro. “I’ve been flying to school for the last few months. You should know that already.” “Okay,” said Zoran. “I just needed to get my memory straight.” She then walked over to Zircon and said, “Would you fly me to school, Zircon? It wouldn’t be a problem if you did, will it?” Zircon shook her head. “Not at all, Zoran,” she said. “It wouldn’t be a problem. Besides, there’s a special way I carry things without even touching them.” Zircon instantly floated in mid-air, using her jewel, and also made Zoran float in mid-air. “Wow!” yelled Zoran. “I didn’t know you could do that!” Zircon smiled, and then Astro flew into the air. “Doesn’t that take up a lot of your energy?” Doctor asked. “Not really,” said Zircon. “At this rate, when we get from school and back, it should take about one-eighth of my energy. It charges back up again in about an hour or so.” Doctor agreed with Zircon’s reply, he then smiles, and says, “Don’t forget what I told you, and I hope you and Zoran have a great first day at school!” Astro, Zircon, and Zoran all smiled. “We will!” yelled Zoran and Zircon. Soon, Astro, Zoran, and Zircon, were then on their way to get to school.

I finished Chapter 26.

Chapter 26: Zircon and Zoran go to school

There were tons of things Zoran saw while flying instantly in the air, with the help of Zircon’s jewel of course. She spotted a lot of things that she never had a chance of seeing before from above. When Astro, Zoran, and Zircon were at least half way to school, and Zoran had the chance of pointing at any type of object, building, store, or even a house, she starts saying, “Look at that building!” or, “Did you see that house we just passed?”. She keeps saying it over and over; just to get Astro and Zircon’s attention. Even they think she was getting annoying. Why? Because she keeps saying those same sentences in very few seconds or at least every five minutes. Zircon flew closer towards Astro. “So that explains why your sister is annoying,” she said. “Oh, please,” said Astro while looking at Zircon. “You should be lucky you don’t have a little sister or brother. Zoran keeps driving me nuts ever since she was first created. I mean, look at her! Especially her mouth!” Astro and Zircon turned back to look at Zoran; still pointing at everything she sees. Even though they saw her talking, Zoran still doesn’t know that they were really paying attention. “Her mouth is like a nonstop, talking machine!” said Astro. “If she keeps this up, she could probably break a record of being to world’s most talkative robot!” Without really noticing, Zoran overheard their conversation. She then starts saying, “I’ve heard that!” out loud, and Astro and Zircon started giggling. “We didn’t mean that literally, Zoran,” said Zircon. “It’s just a joke. You can handle jokes, right?” Zoran started acting like that “joke”, was really disturbing to her. She sighs, and says, “Whatever you say, Zircon. As long as it was just a joke.”

The three soon got to school, and spotted tons of things Zoran and Zircon couldn’t believe their eyes. Students were walking, talking, running around, or playing with each other once the three landed. Without the three noticing, some students turned from what they were doing, and looked at both Zoran and Zircon. Most of them were whispering to each other, saying words like, “Are those two new students?” or “Are they new here?” Zircon couldn’t help it on overhearing their conversations, until soon enough, Alejo, Kennedy, and Abercrombie ran towards her, Astro, and Zoran. “Hey, Astro!” yelled Kennedy. “I can’t believe you and Zircon made it!” Zoran felt so insulted because of Kennedy; who didn’t call her name. She started to get his attention by clearing her throat. “I believe you forgot someone,” she says. Kennedy, Alejo, and Abercrombie all looked down, and finally noticed Zoran. “Oh, hey Zoran,” Alejo said. “I didn’t know you go to school.” “Hmph,” said Zoran acting a little mad. “Well, you’ve should’ve known that if I weren’t standing here!” “Take it easy, Zoran,” said Astro. “It was just a mistake. They probably didn’t notice you.” Zoran turned around, and crossed her arms. “Hmph,” she mumbled. “Boys. Sometimes you just can’t live with them.” “Ms. Miyoki will be very surprised once she sees you, Zircon,” said Kennedy. Zircon was surprised. She seemed to be really interested in Alejo’s topic. “Really?” she asked. “Absolutely!” said Alejo. “She’s been always looking forward to seeing new students! You’re going to love this school! For the best part, she shows all of her classes holographically!” “Wow! That’s amazing!” said Zircon, smiling happily. Alejo nodded. “I know,” he said. “Isn’t she great, or what?” “I’ll say,” said Abercrombie. Astro looked at Zoran, and noticed her body was faced in the other direction. “You know, Zoran,” he said. “Mr. Yuko will also be happy to see you, too. Also, he teaches a few classes holographically.” Zoran soon got interested, and turns around. “Well, that’s fine with me,” she said smiling. “As long as the holographic part was in those sentences, I’m okay with it.”

The bell soon rang, and most of the students were heading inside the school. Once the whole group got inside, and on the right floor, Kennedy looked at Zoran to say, “Okay, Zoran, standing right in front of us, we’re now near the 5th grade classroom. Your classroom is a little down the hall on your right. Find the room with a name tag on the door saying, ‘Mr. Yuko’.” Zoran nodded with an “Okay,” and ran down the hall. Astro looked at Zircon. “Are you ready to enter Ms. Miyoki’s classroom?” he asked. Zircon looked at the classroom door, and then looked at Astro. “Whatever it takes for me to get a good education,” she said. Soon, the others laughed for a few seconds. “Come on,” said Alejo. “Let’s just get inside the classroom before we all get tardy.” The others nodded, and they all went inside.

Cool. Do you find it easier to order through the mail?

I got mine at a store in the mall here which is impressive since while the town nearby isn't small it's not that big either.

Edit -- Been noticing that all the Star Wars fans around me (I'm not really one) have taken to the Clone Wars series by Tartokorvsky (forgive the spelling)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I always order my DVD's online. Cheaper and easier!

*NEW OFFICIAL RANKINGS

1st Place) wildpegasus 294 + 210 = 504 posts

2nd Place) Ohtani of Time = 55 + 3 = 58 posts -- TOOT has declared that nobody will overtake him. Will his promise hold true? Only time will dictate the true answer

3rd Place) Ray = 37 + 4 = 41 posts -- Ray has closed the gap by 1 vote as he is determined to prove TOOT wrong. Bleeping bleep, I haven't been this excited since Benoit vs Lesnar.

4th Place) MondayNightJericho = 22 + 2 = 24 points. MNJ is not someone to be taken lightly as he is always breathing down somebody's neck trying to inch his way up the neverending ladder that is the Astroboy thread. That same drive that guides him there in the weight room lends himself to 3rd place here.

5th Place) UseYourIllusion = 14 Posts -- Wow!! Talk about coming in from nowhere. In one of the most impressive rookie debuts WP has personally ever seen UseYourIllusion comes in and shows even the oldtimers on how it's done. Could he be the next big thing?

6th Place) RavishingRickRudo = 7 posts

7th Place) Renegade = 6 posts -- Renegade comes on strong as of late to make himself a contender

July 3, 2005

Note -- I will get back to the Astroboy Pictures of the Day.

But first I thought I'd talk about Gatchaman which I picked up last night:

I saw this in the store last night and thought, "cool, Gatchaman -- Let's see what it's all about."

I bought only the first volume because I'm trying not to spend too much money and I didn't know if I'd like it enough or not to warrant spending the extra dough for a second volume.

So I put in today and have watched 4 episodes. I think I watched this when I was very, very young but have absolutely no recollection of it. Anyway, I wasn't feeling like I was going to enjoy the show coming in but by the time the 1st 4 episodes were over I was completely digging it. I can see why people hold this in high regard as like Star Trek or Astroboy it's a show you could easily say a million times to your buddy --

"Hey remember how cool it was when ,,?"

Things I liked:

The imagination is there which is what I want with my anime.

The bosses are supremely cool and different each episode. How can you not mark out for that mummy?

The team gets themselves in enough problems and trouble each episode to keep your interest.

They've got diversity of charactors on the team with the two top male leads. They're also starting a slow love angle.

I've been surprised by the some of the twists in the episodes specifically the mummy episode.

I'm a mark for the two top leaders and the hierachary of the villan squad.

The charactors are already becoming interesting especially after that mummy ep.

There are only really a couple of things I didn't like. One thing I'm hoping for is that the villans don't become too easily defeatable.

Great show so far. I reccomend checking it out.

where the hell do you find all of these pictures?

July 5, 2005

Google, astroboy-online.com, some other sources is where I find the pictures.

From memory which is not perfect -- The picture where you see the hat alone is actually the original one. I'm pretty sure it's the light ray invisible robot episodes. The one where you can only see its legs because red paint managed to get on the robot. The episode may be best known for just having one of the most depressing endings you will ever see. All others are changed pictures.

Good to see you around TOOT. The board has changed since you were last on and now features stuff like what day you were last on the board and wether you are currently on the board. Scary, huh? I'm assuming that if you don't log in to board they won't pick up that stuff.

The big news in the Astroboy front is that Manga is going to be putting out the 80s series on DVD and it looks like they may actually have it in its original form and with Japanese subtitles. All for $40. Almost too good to believe. Gatchaman aka Battle of the Planets is finally putting out unedited stuff so why can't Astroboy? Right, right, right, right? Please tell me I'm right.

Now going on to other topics:

I watched Napolean Dynamite and I'm not sure wether I told you this before or not so well, I guess I'll tell you again. It ruled. Oh wait, I just remembered I did talk to you about it before. BTW, there's a 4 pg thread here in this very folder talking about the show. Most people hate it or love it although there are some that are in the middle of the fence. Our biggest cousin is a big fan and has watched the movie as much as you have it.

LOST ruled it. We gotta get a good chat gong about that show. My favourite part of the last ep was Locke talking about the Operation game. I get a chuckle about it whenever I think about it.

I picked up two Jackie Chan DVDs for .99 each at Wall-Mart or at least I hope they are. You know what it's like when you pick up those Kung Fu movies. You can never trust what's written on them when you're buying. Guess I should check out IMDB.

I also picked up the first volume of Gatchaman aka Battle of the Planets and it's ruling so far.

I'm stuck on my Incline bench and Military Presses but seem to be doing okay with the chins. Had 22pds wrapped around the waist two days and managed to squeak out 11 reps although that wasn't to failure. Next week the schedule calls for 12 and I think I got that because last week I could've had it if the all dictative schedule called for it.

I was also working on my forearms the last couple of weeks and was surprised on how much strentgh I still had with them. 115pds for about 14 reps. Not too bad for a skinny guy. On the other side of the coin my grip's a little weaker than it has been in the past and I need to work on that some.

Leg work's doing okay right now but as you know the gym I go to is not really suited for that. I'm still looking forward to supremely blasting my legs in the upcoming future for no other reason than to see how far I can go into the pain barrier. Bleeping f'n bleeping bleep, I'm going to be sore and I can't wait. If I'm not urinating muscle fibers at the end of it than I'm not worthy enough to be a Benoit fan.

Saw my first naked woman.

Still travelling around for hours on average each day.

Car's still working but I ripped the hood opening lever off on the inside as I used too much latimus dorsi power on it. Hopefully, I can fix that.

Make sure to contact me!!!! so we can get a good talk in.

Missed you, the gym and Benoit on Smackdown by minutes!!!! but at least I can catch Benoit later tonight on the Score. Maybe I can contact you somehow.

Looks like Brock Lesnar's coming back by the way.

Been physced about the new Zelda coming out hopefully this November. It looks amazing and the creators are intent on surpassing the Orcania Of Time.

Have you eaten any strawberries lately? There's nothing better than the inside of a strawberry.

Do you have any interesting stories as of late?

Take care. Live long and prosper.
