Fan from Sydney (Australia)

[AstroBBoy]

I have been lurking for a while and thought I should introduce myself.

My name is Brian and I'm a huge Tezuka fan.

So much so that I've been to Japan 3x times and each time I went to the Tezuka Museum. I was even lucky enough to go to the museum on the day of Astroboy's "birth" (7th of April, 2003). It was very exciting in Japan at that time with Tezuka artwork everywhere to be seen as well as the new series launching on the same date.

Although lately I have been cutting down on my collection as it was taking up too much room, I still have quite a few animation cels and certain other pieces that mean a lot to me.

Oh yeah, I actually have an Astroboy tattoo on my arm that I've had for 16 years now.

A belated Welcome then!

I wish I had been a Tezuka fan for that long. I think I missed some very good moments.

Thanks.
It looks like a great little community and I absolutely love all the detail/info that has gone into the site itself.
