Astroboy Japan has a streaming video trailer of the new Astroboy currently being shown in Japan. Trailer in English or Japanese. The look of the characters is almost exactly the same, think Astroboy with better animation. The English dubs arn't exactly right but close enough I suppose. I looks great. The "copyright" message on the video is year 2000. I could only get the 300k Windows Media versions working.

BTW. How to solve piracy... allow copyrights to expire in a sensible time. Private a "out of copyright only" P2P network. Provide access to all media as soon as possible for cheap. If you hear a song on the radio, you should be able to go to hearditontheradio.com and buy it. Miss it on TV? Buy it at misseditontv.com.

Saw an article recently saying that online piracy of movies has forced movie production houses to release movies around the world at the same time instead of the staggered release we've been used to where the US sees movies up to 6 months before Australia. This is a good thing. Same goes for DVD releases. The second they kill off this DVD region zoning crap and allow cheap importing of overseas DVDs I'll be happy.

Attempts to find a video of the first episode have failed...
