Pinned Post!

INTRO

Welcome to my side blog!

I'm Mari (or Cranio/Craniozito, dosen't really matter).

English is not my first language, and I’m dyslexic, so there might be some weird phrasing and/or spelling mistakes.

I like a lot of different things, but the main focus here is Tezuka-related content in general. Sometimes you’ll also see unrelated reblogs and posts.

For other info and my art check out my art account pinned post.

I'm working on the Pinoko book, is going to give me more work since I need to clean it and fix the borders since they are round.

I hope is not gonna be too obvious the cleaning. I have no idea why some pages are dirty like that. Is not my scanner! I cleaned it multiple times and scanned other stuff and that dosen't happen.

Also, when I look at my book I don't see this issues on it 😭 does any one knows what is happening in here? Or I'm missing something?

This issue has photos of a costume parade

and an Astro float(?)

You can see the illustration of this float in issue 150.

Also on top of the parade photos you can see a rare photo of the other robots from the Pluto arc.

If you can find better quality of these photos it would be great!

shigeto ikehara's marin express comic is so cool.

I'm currently reading a comic adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's anime "Marine Express," illustrated by Shigetoshi Ikehara, who also worked on the manga version of Mega Man.

There are various changes, such as Masato being the protagonist instead of Rock.

The star system is also used quite a bit, so if you're interested, please give it a read!

Will you please post the cute Black Jack TV art (from that Dr. Pinoko's Forest Adventure book, I think?) here too? I've always wanted more of TV and 21, such nostalgic adaptations, so warm.

Yes, everything I buy from Japan is to share with the Fandom.

I already scanned, I will be posting it soon.

Probably a better version released one year later after the regular Desktop Character minidisk.

Archive with the ISO file.

You need a Virtual Machine to run this.

I posted a video on twitter of what it looks like

I'm asking on anon because I am curious, but what proxy shipping service did you use to acquire the tezuka goods you've bought? :)

I was using buyee initially but I decided to switch to Zenmarket. It has more payment options and I pay the import tax directly with Zenmarket instead of waiting for my post office services to send me the fee.

A video showing Osamu Tezuka discussing how Atom gets his legs in the 1980s Astro Boy series. This video aired on December 23, 1981, directly before the final episode (Episode 52) of the 1980s Astro Boy series.

New Astro Boy Reboot poster posted online (May 2026)

Source: Mediawan Kids & Family (Linkedin)

Shared to me through a source on Tumblr which wishes to be kept anonymous, a new poster for the current Astro Boy Reboot was shared by Mediawan Kids & Family's Linkedin page on May 21, 2026!

This is in anticipation for their event at Annecy Festival 2026 in France showing the work-in-progress (WIP) aspect of Astro Boy Reboot; the event will occur on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 from 9 AM to 10 AM Central European Time.

Most notably, Atom's (Astro's) character design has changed again, perhaps to take the criticism from fans to heart in order to improve his character design. What do you think about how he looks now?

Also, it appears that a city that looks very similar to Divercity from the original Caribara Animation version of Astro Boy Reboot is in the background of this poster. Perhaps a nod to the original version of Astro Boy Reboot?

[craniozito]

Wth is happening with this reboot? Is the third time they show a different design.

I prefer the first one they showed.
