Understanding Anime..... The Beginnings

The field of televised Japanese animation, popularly known as “anime” (pronounced ah-nee-may, a word derived from the French term for animation), has always led a curious double life. While anime is often considered to be the quintessential expression of Japanese culture, its greatest documents are scandalously un-Japanese. Unlike the Japanese manga or comic strip, which is rooted in Japan’s centuries-old traditions of woodcut carvings and graphic prints, anime is the purest product of the multinational era.

Spawned in the 1960s by Japan’s postwar media boom, anime quickly became one of the most innovative sites of the multinational video culture. Early anime series such as Osamu Tezuka’s Tetsuwan Atomu [Astro Boy] (1963) derived much of their visual inspiration from the classic Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons, while scriptwriters drew deeply from the well of Western European and US science fiction narratives. By the early 1970s, anime had begun to develop its own unique array of forms, ranging from the teenage martial arts comedy to the human-piloted robot adventure or “mecha” tale. By the mid-1980s, anime had transformed a complex blend of Japan’s indigenous manga culture, US science-fiction and animation, European scriptwriting and theater, and the editing techniques of the Hong Kong martial arts films into a whole new art-form. Today, the anime culture has become one of the heavyweights of the global media industry.1

60' Anime - Astro Boy

60's Anime
ASTRO BOY

Astroboy was called Tetsuwan Atom in Japan. The black and white series was created, animated and produced by Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989) through his own company named Mushi Productions. Tezuka, like his father, was a qualified doctor of medicine but was more interested in drawing. Astroboy was a successful comic strip in Japan in the 50’s. It was released in Japan between 1963 - 1966 and was shown on Melbourne TV in April 1966 at 5.30pm Sunday's on channel 0.The tv week described it as "Cartoon adventure series about a youngster in the 21st century."
In Brazil, Astroboy was called "Marte, o Menino BiƓnico"-Mars, the Bionic Boy("Sergio Martorelli" ).
It was the first animated TV series to be produced in Japan and after becoming a worldwide hit, Japanese cartoons began to flood the market with the release of other successful series' such as Gigantor, 8th man and Prince Planet. The large oval eyes became the standard for most other Japanese cartoons. 193 episodes were produced, but only 104 of them were redubbed and shown on TV outside Japan.
The voice of Astroboy and Astrogirl was Billie Lou Watt (died 2001, married to and survived by Hal Studer who also was part of the dubbing cast on Kimba). Billie was a female, not a male as many people believe. She later went on to be Kimba and Jimmy Sparks from Gigantor. The voice of Dr Elefun was Cliff Owen who also played Inspector Blooper from Gigantor and Dan’l Baboon from Kimba. Gilbert Mack was the voice of Mr Pompos as well as Dick Strong from Gigantor and Pauley Cracker from Kimba.
Peter Fernandez wrote more than half of the English scripts and many others were written by the voice cast members. Peter was paid $100 to $125 per episode - the same fee that he was later paid by Fred Ladd for Gigantor.
Fred Ladd directed the English version and wrote some of the scripts. Ladd said that "Astro Boy began with Mushi's #1, and generally stayed in Mushi's sequence, but we had to reject 6 of their shows, for various reasons: one dealt with vivisection (unacceptable here as kids' content at the time); one dealt with a bachelor who had pictures of nude women hanging on his walls; one ('Christ's Eyeballs') dealt with a criminal hiding out in a church and scratching a secret message to his cohorts on the eyeballs of a statuette of Christ, (in Buddhist Japan, nobody at the studio objected)."

In 1982 a coloured version was released and shown in Melbourne throughout the 80’s. In 1996 it was shown here on cable TV. Many of these episodes are available on video in Pal format through Siren Entertainment and are still enjoyed by young children today.
The series begins with the death of Dr Boynton’s (a robotics engineer) son Aster (Toby in the new series) in a car accident set in the year 2000 (help with some character names from Dave Sternberg). He makes a robot in his son’s image, but disappointed that he’s not a real boy he disowns him, and he is sold to a robot circus and here is named Astroboy. The ringmaster Cachatore (Hamegg in the new series) treats him cruelly, but he is later rescued by Dr Elefun (large nose and two puffs of hair on the sides of his head) who is against slavery of robots. Under his guidance, Astroboy embarks on adventures, fighting anything that threatens mankind. Astroboy can fly using jet rocket propulsion; has weapons including a lazer and machine gun, and has emotions.
Astroboy, like most of the other robots, lives by the robot law that orders robots to help mankind by doing what’s good.
Other characters in the series included Mr Pompous who was a friend of Dr Elefun’s (renamed Daddy Walrus in the coloured series because of his long moustache), Astrogirl (named Uran in the colour series) made by Dr Elefun as Astroboy’s sister. Astroboy’s bigger brother was named Jetto. He was stored away in the warehouse of the Science Academy and was created by Dr. Boynton as a prototype of Astroboy.
One of Astroboy’s main enemies is Atlas who was a boy robot but was rebuilt into a highly intelligent and powerful robot.
Daddy Walrus is sometimes a secret agent and in some episodes is also Judo Expert (as this fact is demonstrated in the Blackie Young episode). He retains the boastful loudmouth qualities of Mr. Pompous but actually is portayed in the new series as a courageous individual as opposed to a
cowardly braggard in the older Astroboy series.
The Dr. Elefant character in the New Astroboy is a somewhat less of a scholar and actually more of a foolish "Absent Minded professor", rather than the learned man that we see heading up "The Institute of Science". (Info on Daddy Walrus from Dave Sternberg)

Some of the episodes include ‘Funnel To The Future" where Astroboy, Astrogirl and Dr Elefun are sent 70 000 years into the future; ‘Mystery Of The Metal Men’ where Astroboy is blown away into a parallel world and ‘Gangor The Monster’ where 46 wrestling robots join together to form a giant centipede. The Lost Episode titled ‘The Beast from 20 Fathoms’ was created in 1963. 2 copies were made . The Japanese version was destroyed as Osamu Tezuka was unhappy with it. The other copy was sent to America for dubbing and is the only version that exists today.

The following information is written by Mark Cannon from Canberra Australia who has picked up some interesting points after watching Astroboy episodes again after nearly 30 years.

"Amazing the detail you aren't aware of as a kid; for example, though I saw "Funnel To The Future" several times in my youth, it was only this time that I recognised the similarilies to HG Wells' "The Time Machine"; mankind vanished, a huge museum / mausoleum to man, two divergent, diametrically opposed races in the plant people and the animal people (echoing the Eloi and the Morlocks) and, closest of all Astro Boy befriending a plant person by pulling her from the river, in which she was drowning while her fellows looked on apathetically - just as Wells' Time Traveller rescued Weena the Eloi in identical circumstances. Very cleverly done.

In "Invasion Of The Metal Men", I had forgotten that it utilised the concept of parallel universes; a complicated concept for children to grasp (and we didn't have "Sliders" to demonstrate it every week!) but it explained the concept in a wonderfully simple way by comparing it to "Two sides of a single sheet of paper".

In the episode "Mission to the Middle of the World", Astroboy, Astrogirl and the journalist travelling with them come across an underground race, descended survivors of Atlantis, who appear to call themselves "deros". This got my memory working, and I did a little research.
Back in the mid-1940s, "Amazing Stories", the pulp SF magazine (the very first, dating form 1926, and about to be revived after a few years of non-publication) published a lot of stories by a guy called Richard S Shaver. They weren't very well written, but they got a lot of attention - and generated a lot of controversy in the SF community - because Shaver claimed that they were all based on truth! He claimed that degenerate races, living inside the earth, and called "deros" were controlling the direction of mankind on the surface. These races were using technology left behind by ancient races like the "Atlans".
As I said Shaver claimed that all of this was true! He seems to have genuinely believed it, and today would proabably be writing UFO cult-type books (and probably making a fortune in the process!). Although his stuff boosted the sales of Amazing Stories for a while (Although Shaver was a real person, many theorised that most of the stories were actually written by Amazing's editor, Raymond Palmer), the fans decried it as being hogwash, and it lead to great controversy. Eventually publication of this "Shaver Mystery" material, as it came to be known, was dropped, and the whole matter became a footnote in the history of science fiction. Until, of course, I saw this episode, with its reference to subterranean "deros". It seems hard to believe that it was a cooincidence; perhaps one of the people writing the English language scripts had read Shaver material as a youth, and decided to put the reference in as an in-joke? We'll never know, but I thought it an interesting little quirk.

I also took a quick look at the live action Astroboy film. Well! Could this actually be the Japanese equivalent of "Plan 9 From Outer Space"? Perhaps somewhere in Japan, there's a former child actor who looks back on this movie as the crowning achievement of his career. Mind you, that outfit he had to wear surely qualifies as some sort of child abuse! And what about those villains with the top hats and big "Z"s on their front?! Amazing - truely amazing! I wonder what poor old Tezuka thought of it?"(Mark Cannon)

LATEST INFORMATION ON ASTROBOY
( supplied by Eric U)
1. Astro Boy was born on April 7, 2003. There was a big celebration in Japan and a
little one in Japan town in Downtown Los Angeles. The Japanese American Cultural
Museum was running a display, till June 1 2003, of post-war anime featuring many of Osamu Tezuka's art work and toys.
2. Sony is airing a brand new Astro Boy anime series on TV in Japan starting April 2003. The site with the trailer is
http://www.b-bat.tv/wakwak/astroboy/ It may be choppy at times depending on how busy that site is. But if you are lucky to watch the whole clip smoothly, you will be delighted. The rendering is great. And, best of all, there is an English version of the clip that you can watch. I would think that they intend to air it outside Japan also.
3. The Black and White version of the Astro Boy series are available for sale in Japan on DVD. Each set contains 6 discs of about 36 episodes. Unfortunately they are all in Japanese without subtitles.

ISO Recorder V 3 For Windows Vista

. ISO Recorder is a tool (power toy) for Windows XP, 2003 and now Windows Vista, that allows (depending on the Windows version) to burn CD and DVD images (DVD support is only available on Windows Vista), copy disks, make images of the existing data CDs and DVDs and create ISO images from a content of a disk folder.

ISO Recorder has been conceived during Windows XP beta program, when Microsoft for the first time started distributing new OS builds as ISO images. Even though the new OS had CD-burning support (by Roxio), it did not have an ability to record an image. ISO Recorder has filled this need and has been one of the popular Windows downloads ever since.

Limewire Pro 4.14

Not having played with LimeWire since it went spyware crazy a couple of versions ago, our hands-on experience with the latest version came as something of a surprise. Not only did the program prove completely spyware-free in our scans, there's only one tiny, inconspicuous advertising link down at the bottom of the page to distract you while you're working. We were totally psyched until we found out that searches were limited to about 200 hits, including duplicates, which means far fewer unique files. Still, since it doesn't scatter junkware all over your PC like some P2P clients, LimeWire is a great way to see if P2P is for you. The excellent online help, supereasy interface, and flawless operation during our testing make the US$18.88 upgrade for the unfettered Pro version seem quite reasonable.

Astro Boy - Info

Astro Boy is the first Japanese television series that embodied the aesthetic that later became known as anime. It originated as a manga comic series started in 1951 by Osamu Tezuka, who is known as the "god of manga". After enjoying success abroad, Astro Boy was remade in the 1980s as Shin Tetsuwan Atomu (Astroboy in the US and other Western countries) and again in 2003. For a time Astro Boy enjoyed a level of popularity in Japan equivalent to Disney's Mickey Mouse.

The animated Astro Boy series was produced by Mushi Productions, a studio established and headed by Tezuka.

The original Tetsuwan Atomu manga stories are now available in English, published by Dark Horse Comics in a translation by Frederik L. Schodt. They follow the television series in using "Astro Boy", the name most familiar to English-speaking audiences, instead of "Tetsuwan Atomu." Names of the other characters, such as Dr. Tenma and Professor Ochanomizu, are those of the original Japanese.

Chuang Yi published a more recent English language manga version of Astro Boy/Tetsuwan Atom in Singapore (also available in Australia).

The 2003 Japanese television series acknowledges the "Astro Boy" name. Although the character is still named "Atomu" ("Atom" in English), the series' onscreen title is Astro Boy / Tetsuwan Atomu, with the latter part written in Japanese characters; the scene in which the newly-activated robot is named has been written to support either character name.

In the original story, Astro Boy was created in Takadanobaba on April 7, 2003. On the same day in the real world, a city in Japan (Niiza of Saitama prefecture) granted Astro Boy a special citizenship. This is in contrast to the hardship Astro Boy went through in the fiction to be a part of human society, including obtaining a citizenship.

In 2004, the character Astro Boy was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. The series of graphic albums was nominated for the Harvey Award for Best Presentation of Foreign Material in 2003.

A feature film version is slated for 2009 from Imagi Animation Studios.

Posh Shop Game




Let's Go Shopping!

Imagine if you could take one of your greatest passions -- shopping for designer clothes -- and turn it into a money-making career. That is exactly what's going on inside Posh Shop, a fantastic entrepreneur simulation game that lets you take the reign of a burgeoning fashion empire! Judy is tired of working in retail for someone else, so she has taken it upon herself to open a clothing store of her own. But this isn't just any old store: this is high fashion of the highest degree, outselling the Christian Diors, Donna Karans, and Vera Wangs of the world!

The goal in this game is to start with a single store selling one particular type of clothing, but very soon you will be attracting the attention of the world's biggest buyers. They'll come flocking to your outlet to pick up several outfits and it is up to you sell your fantastically original collection. Want in on the fashion world and want to make a heck of a lot of money doing what you love? Then Posh Shop is right up your alley.

An Outfit For Every Occasion

The customers that walk through your door don't want single articles of clothing. They're not satisfied with just a shirt or a simple skirt. No, what they demand from you are fantastically coordinated outfits that have designed from the ground up. Your task is to collect clothes that match with one another -- they'll mostly color-coded -- piecing together looks that are absolutely fabulous. Increase your efficiency by pairing single items with multiple ones, creating several outfits at the same time. You'll have to achieve a certain sales goal at the end of the day and this strategy can help expedite the process considerably.

Each shirt, skirt, blouse, and pair of pants will slowly make its way down the display line, so you'll have to nab them before they reach the end of the line. Should they fall through, you'll have to suffer a restocking fee, taking away from your bottom line (and you don't want that). When you create sets of three or more outfits, you are also treated to bonus bags of money. Click on them repeatedly to grab that cash!

More Selection Means More Money

In between stages, you'll have the opportunity to purchase additional outfits. Choose the ones that will rake in the most dough. In the beginning, outfits will consist of only two pieces of clothing -- a top and a bottom -- but the more lucrative outfits will consist of three, four, or even five pieces. It's all about having a complete look!

It's also important to dress up your store's appearance! Additional furnishings can help your business in many ways. Certain pieces of furniture will add to the price of each outfit sold, whereas other upgrades will pause time, pull the clothing line back, and do all sorts of other fun things.

More Than Just a Trend

The growth of your business is out of control! Each week, you'll open up a new store with a whole new clothing collection. Will it be denim? Sportswear? Business attire? Make money selling clothes of all kinds, enjoying fun mini-games in between. These side attractions help break up the action and provide some variety.

All the fashionistas in the audience should take note! This is one game you're not going to want to miss!

O' Reilly Photoshop Workflow Setup...

Photoshop has so many different work areas and tools that it can become confusing, or even intimidating, to use it in a production environment. Fact is, there are only three particular zones or areas that you really need to become familiar with: tools, menus, and palettes. In this first chapter, I'll cover how to set up the general Photoshop workspace. Setting up your workspace for efficient production will create a more pleasing experience, allowing you to focus on the main objective: getting your work done.

Game - Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego

An agent of E.V.I.L. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego is, of course, a very simple game at its core. At the start of each game, you learn that some member of the Villains' International League of Evil (V.I.L.E.) has stolen some priceless world treasure (an ancient Aztec calendar, the Stanley Cup, the Eiffel Tower elevators, it's all up for grabs), and it's your job as a member of the ACME detective agency to run out and steal one of your own, quick track down the criminal and bring him or her to justice within a certain time limit.
