havent read the manga or anything but its a prequel, i think its ok since it happens before the birth of astro boy. might have some easter eggs or shootout from astro boy that might fly over our head but i think thats pretty much it.

New key visual



Also the premiere will be April 15 on NHK and then will be streamed April 16 on Amazon Prime in Japan ... so i think it might be going to be a Amazon exclusive with Saekano (because noitaminA) like Onihei with Kuzu no Honkai this season.

A prequel to... Astro Boy? o.O
Wow, that's some big shoes this new anime tries to fill. I'm excited to see where this is going, the PV looks promising.

To the ones thinking it is risky to try to come after Tezuka's manga/animation (and its later re-adaptations), they aren't really bold since they make it based on a pre-existing manga (drawn by the creator of Patlabor's concept).


Some words from the director and the staff: http://www.anime-now.com/entry/2017/03/28/230005
It almost sounds like they won't go with the manga.

Love SoraMafu! I'll try out this anime. I watched the atom boy movie. Is the prequel really different from the original show?
