“We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see and love an imperfect person perfectly……..”

Astro Boy First Love Story . This is probably one of the saddest stories in Astroboy series. The idea is a bit weird, but with Astro designed to feel as human do, Astroboy fell inlove with another of his kind who was designed the same way as he was, only built as a weapon of destruction.

This Astro Boy First Love Story is unexpected, but they pulled off this one just fine. There are some scenes that others may find not suitable for kids, but it never really bothered me at all. I even find the last part really cute, where Astroboy showed his human side, by keeping something for love and memories sake.

Watching Astroboy youtube videos reminds me of  Osamu Tesuka, who is one  true genius. I applaud him for creating the vintage hero  Astroboy aka Tetsuwan Atom, and publishing Pluto which won awards for best manga,  and is now gaining even more readers and selling like hotcakes both online and in stores all over the world. Credits should also go to Naoki Urasawa.

Anyway, back to this ‘Astroboy First Love’ Story in english version, my only concern about  it would be the voices dubbing the characters. I think that they don’t really fit the characters. (lol)
