Here’s our first release for 2024, another episode of Osamu Tezuka’s groundbreaking first anime series. This episode has some impressive credits, written by Masaki Tsuji and directed by Rintaro. The latter even appears in a fourth-wall breaking opening, voiced by Shoji Ichimura.
This episode features the debut of a new recurring character, Atom’s “older brother” Cobalt, a robot created by Professor Tenma before he made Atom. Cobalt has the same 100,000 horsepower as Atom, but he doesn’t have Atom’s seven special powers. He’s a bit of a bumbler, but he is kind and good-hearted like his younger brother.
Get the episode from Nyaa or Mega.
Episodes of the 1959 live-action version of Mighty Atom are also available from Mega.
Obviously I don’t have the resources to do a complete subtitle of all 193 episodes of Mighty Atom, but hopefully I will be able to continue releasing a few odd episodes of the series now and then. I really wish Right Stuf would release this whole series in Japanese with English subtitles, or somehow work out a sub-license with another company like Discotek. It’s a shame that so many anime shows from the 1960s are available only as English dubs. Massive props to Funimation for their deluxe release of Speed Racer, complete with subtitled Mach GoGoGo (both the original series from 1967 and the 1997 remake). That’s the way you do it!

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I believe that when Nanto says he “doesn’t have the resources” to fully sub the series, he is referring to the translation aspect, not the lack of availability of RAWs. I know first hand how difficult it is to translate a series with nearly 200 episodes.

Yeah, he’s definitely referring to the time and manpower required.

The Astro Boy eps you need are all on the internet archive ripped from the Japanese dvd set. I tried to share the link here but it got removed !!!

But indeed, considering the wealth of giant crazy projects that the world’s fansubbing communities have accomplished, I am shocked that nobody has opted to complete what is arguably the most seminal anime of all time.
Also, still just thankful that Nanto has given us what he has.
