Astro Boy Vol. 1

From the depths of childhood memory comes Astroboy!
In the early 60's there came to the US through various production companies, the precursors to what has grown into Anime. These productions included Kimba the White Lion, Gigantor, Speed Racer, and earliest of all, Astroboy. The transfers from what appear to be secondary sources are well done. Although the DVD contains a warning with respect to sound quality, I found that only one episode had problems in that regard. The cartoons themselves are amusing and fun, and occasionally dark for 1960s kid programming in the United States. In any case, the cartoons are enjoyable, and my daughter is already devoted to them.
