I think it's like that a lot these days because there are so many TV channels that it dilutes what we actually see. I suppose it is testament to how damn cool he looks, that you bought the T-Shirt without any prior knowledge. Astro would certainly stick out in an aisle of clothes. Nice idea with him and Hello Kitty being royalty in Animation Land. Maybe that's a sequel?! Interesting that you came across the merchandise first, and then discovered the character.

Since then I've been attracted to astroboy merchandise for the cute icon it sports in its indeed highly attractive Japanese style. I've never actually watched an episode I'm ashamed to say but will certainly be seeking out the film. He certainly is an icon up there with Hello Kitty. I imagine them as the king and queen up in animation land! I first heard of astroboy when I found him on a t-shirt in a seconds shop.
