Astro Boy (manga)/YMMV
- Fridge Horror: At the end of the Scara time travel arc, New Astro can't be activated until Old Astro is destroyed (same Astro, different points in his own time stream), which of course is a brilliant excuse to show Astro's birth again... wait. Astro just blew up. That was Astro's real, honest-to-goodness never coming back death there for all to see.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Australians make up a large fanbase, partly due to being one of the few countries outside Japan that got the 1982 series.
- I Want My Jetpack: Despite nuclear energy being utilized rapidly for civilian purposes today, as Tezuka hoped, we're nowhere nearing jetpack stage.
- The Woobie: Astro, during the retelling of his origin in the Scara arc.
