	ideofact: Marine The Sea Bottom Boy
		I think at this point I'd find Astro Boy unwatchable (I saw a documentary on some cable access channel about the show, and was pretty horrified I even watched it as a kid, let alone semi-liked it), but Jonny Quest -- at least the vintage 1960s episodes -- still seem like classics to me.
		What I do recall, rather distinctly, is that, of the various Japanese animated shows available in the U.S. during my youth (Kimba the Lion, Speed Racer, and of course, Astro Boy), Marine Boy seemed, to my then-six-year-old eyes, to be the most sophisticated of the lot -- the timeless classic with real staying power.
		Marine Boy was, after all, a very special boy -- as the cheesy theme song (click here, and scroll down to the bottom) makes clear.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment "Princess Mononoke"
		We're a long way from the crude English overdubs done for "Speed Racer" and "Astro Boy" on 1960s television; the substitute cast provide characterizations of as much range and subtlety as the animation itself, and most viewers probably won't realize or care that the film was originally in another language.
		On its most obvious level, "Princess Mononoke" is a yarn about a heroic quest into the realm of the supernatural, a storytelling mode as familiar as the legends of Beowulf, Siegfried or Hercules.
		What I'm trying to say is that "Princess Mononoke" is likely to do the impossible -- it will thrill audience members aged from about 10 to 100 (although the violence in this movie is never gratuitous, it may prove too intense for younger children), and it may also get them thinking.

	ipedia.com: Robotech Article
		While anime shows were brought to the US as early as the 1960s, such as Astro Boy, Speed Racer, and Kimba the White Lion, most were heavily bowdlerized for American audiences, with violence, deaths of major characters, sexual references, etc., completely edited out for what was assumed to be an audience of young children.
		Robotech, an 85-episode science-fiction television series about three successive invasions of Earth from space, was one of the first anime released in the United States to preserve the complexity and drama of its original Japanese source material.
		Robotech broke with this tradition by leaving in some of those elements, and is thought by some to be the show that kicked off American interest in Japanese animation, leading to a boom in North American consumption of anime that is still growing as of this writing.

		In the early 1960s, Japanese comic book godfather Osuma Tezuka established the hyperstylized, big-eye manga look with his Astro Boy series, and today, thanks in part to Japanese economic integration with the West, manga and anime conglomerates churn out movies and comics that have spread throughout the world.
		Not only were Chinese comics available, but their sensibility, aesthetics, and pacing were so distinct from the manga style that Kuo and ComicsOne editor Sean Sanders became convinced that theirs was an untapped cultural niche.
		Contemporary settings are almost nonexistent, in both film and comics, in part because the less contemporary the setting, the less relevant -- and therefore safer -- the message.
