It seems I have a soft spot for sad looking cels today. Seeing poor little
Atom, sitting there, just want to hug him tight! The original manga was so dark,
I was quite surprised. The later versions of Astro are equally as compelling
but refrain from some of the themes Tezuka introduced (rather, they touch
upon them and shed an alternative light). I always did enjoy his ensemble
cast and universe. Seeing characters like Daddy Walrus and Rock in different
story lines makes his works even more interesting and endearing.
Since I'm sneaky! Here's another choice

I love the depth here. And that facial expression!!! hehe

The color pallette
is vivid and dynamic, truly suiting the personality of Birdy.
