But hope looms on the horizon... According to:
<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=422>
Astro Boy *has* been picked up for English R1 distribution by Right
Stuf. And, while I can't find anything on Right Stuf's web site about it,
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they release the DVDs.
Right Stuf, even though they are a relatively new company in terms of
releasing their own stuff, does an excellent job with the titles I've
seen. As for the old-school stuff, Right Stuf has already released
Gigantor on DVD.
But, other than that, unless you're willing to put up with
poorly-translated, "Region 0", Hong Kong or Taiwanese DVD bootlegs, I'd
wait for the official release. :)
