Video: Behind the scenes of the Astro Boy anime (1963)

鉄腕アトム   053   さようなら1963年 DVD


Osamu Tezuka’s iconic Astro Boy TV series premiered on New Year’s Day, 1963. (First episode below.) By some accounts, the cartoon was watched at its most popular point by 40% of Japanese people with a TV. I love watching cartoonists draw familiar characters and the above behind-the-scenes footage from the Astro Boy production is a real delight.
