Astro Boy (1980)

Astro Boy (新・鉄腕アトム, Shin Tetsuwan Atomu in Japan) is a color remake of the first TV series and the manga, it has 52 episodes (51 in the English version). Although mostly light-hearted, the series could be sad or have a darker tone at times.

There are 2 English dubs, one from America and the other from Canada. The American version being the more well known.

The Canadian version was very different, with many edits and cuts, especially if a scene was too violent. At the end of every episode there was a game. Viewers would guess Astro Boy's mistake in his report about what happened in the episode, to a computer named Geronimo. The mistake could be things such as a name or place, etc.
