Astro Boy

Astro Boy is an anime series based on the 1960s series of the same name. An English dub of the show ran on Kids' WB! in 2004. The dub however ended before covering the whole series.

The series begins in 2043, where robots are common in human society. In Metro City, the Minister of Science Professor Ochanomizu finds an abandoned robot boy in the Ministry's basement. He reactivates the boy, renames him as Astro, and begins to raise and educate Astro as if he were his own son. Astro contains rocket boosters in his hands and feet, super strength, various lasers, and super analysis powers. He also contains "Kokoro", a specialized AI program that allows him to emote and act exactly like a human. However, Astro discovers he is the robotic replica of a young boy, Tobio, who was the son of renowned but demented scientist Dr. Tenma. While Astro struggles to find his own, true identity, he befriends children his own age, and becomes a famous hero throughout Metro City.
