The Defintive Astro Boy Anime
by Light
This show has a scene where a cyborg Sherlock Holmes is wheeled down a hallway in an office chair while blasting terrorists with an assault rifle.
Do I have your attention? Then please continue.
The 1960s Astro Boy anime is of course invaluable for its importance to the Japanese animation industry, and the 2003 anime has the best art and animation, but for me the 1980s Astro Boy is by far the best in terms of story telling, characterization, and just sheer fun. I have no nostalgia for Astro, having just gotten into the franchise within the past six months, but was floored by how invested I go into the 1980s series.
Picture quality is excellent, sound quality is equal (besides the next episode previews being compressed, the rest sounds great), though I should note I only watched it subbed because the English track was impossible to take seriously.
If you have any passing interest in the character, this is the series to watch!
