Comment: This is definately a character that has aged well! I might want to point out that you should talk about underrated videogame characters like Sparkster, Ristar ect. For you next profile maybe Earthworm Jim would be in your list?

Comment: so do my claims that the "bronies" have taken over the internet made you even a little interested in seeking the show out to give an opinion on it?

Comment: I just thought you might want to seek it out and give an opinion on it as the "bronies" as the male fans are called have taken over the internet. if you don't believe me just search for "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" on DeviantART and TV Tropes.

Comment: but the new My little Pony is watched by adult males in the 15-35 demographic just like Power Puff girls. and it is made by one of the same people who made PPG. Mr. Coat: And I have nothing against its fanbase. I just haven't watched any incarnation of My Little Pony, so I can't very well make a video on a series I haven't seen.

Comment: I have a blog similar to Doug Walker's "Top ten Movies he likes but everybody seems to hate", but mine is "Top 5 movies I like but everybody seems to hate" http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blogs/latest/entry/top-5-movies-i-like-but-everyone-else-hates and guess which is #1? ASTRO BOY!!!!

Comment: Now I just hate Japanese Cartoons and the art style is kinda silly in this one but, I think I'll give this one a try. Where does one git Japanese Comic books in America? Mr. Coat: Like I said in the video, Dark Horse released a series of Astro Boy volumes some years back, which shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of.

Comment: good video. did you get my suggestion for talking about the much more male loved My Little Pony? Mr. Coat: I have never seen My Little Pony nor do I plan on doing a video on it. I do plan on making a video in the near future, regarding a different show that doesn't fall close to my demographic. And, fyi, any mention of that other show will be deleted.

Comment: Excellent episode. You hit everything pretty well. I enjyed the 2008 film, but I didn't feel like it was quite up to spec with the previous shows.

Comment: Seriously, do you think maybe you could watch a few animes and then make a video talking about them? I would really love to see that.

Comment: I love this anime! Rayman is also kind of a French icon because the game was developed in France by Michael Ancel and Ubisoft in Paris, France! @Pan-Pizza-I heard of Omega Factor developed by Treasure who did Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Headdy! Never played it but it looks great!

Comment: Great episode, including the new opening. Since you mention Asterix, maybe that would be the next character profile episode

Comment: I'm curious, other than the Studio Ghibli movies, Akira, Speed Racer and Astro Boy, what other anime do you like? Have you seen Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist and Baccano? If not, I highly recommend all of them.

Comment: To "Anonymous": The Sonic music that obviously takes it's motifs from "Back to the Future" is the key theme for the first season. Even Stefan mentioned the similarities in his Profile video.

Comment: I too wish that Astroboy film did better. They try to keep reintroducing Astro here and keep failing. He's had the 60s and new series air on Cartoon Network, and they didn't last very long. I sort of assume it's because of his look. Although they already made an Astroboy film before, it's called A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Stanley Kubrick was into some anime after all. Also, Astroboy Omega Factor was like one of the greatest games on the Gameboy Advanced.
