I'm kind of an idiot. When I signed up for Astronomy I was excited about learning all the constellations and the history behind them.

Instead I learned a lot about gravity and temperature radiation and that was far more interesting.

Nah, you just got bamboozled by physics.

Oh no, I think I remember this scene, is it Astro Boy?

Wait a minute, I watched this as a kid. IT WAS ANIME?!?!? I thought it was a western caroon.

It's more than anime, it's where Miyazaki got his feet wet, before founding Ghibli. Same studio that co-produced Viky the Viking with German television. The whole thing is closely connected to Japanese romantisation of Europe as a place of nature and fairytales, very much pushed by Ghibli. In case you ever wondered why Frieren is full of German names and there's christianish-looking priests and talk of heaven and tons and tons and tons of nature: It's just continuing a tradition. And have a video about nature in anime in general and Ghibli in particular. While we're at it have a long (and German) wikipedia article on Heidi in Japan

If you were in a religious household, or was babysat by the tv And watched CBN, you may have also seen Superbook and Flying House. Both stories about kids (time) traveling through biblical times. Both are anime and produced by Tatsunoko Productions.

How do they hold up? Are they accurate at all, or full-on fantasy?

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

They keep up with the general timeline and they don't try to change too much. Think babys first Isekai.

Nice. Thank you.

To be fair the style isn't anime style

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

And I supposed Astro Boy isn't either.

[-] Gnugit@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

"Atom and Nuka" / "Astro's First Love" - 1983

[-] Gnugit@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Thank you. For some reason this instantly brought back memories of my childhood devastation of Astro Boy losing his love.

Isn't that the new Paul Rudd vehicle?

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago
[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Paul Rudd's new vehicle is a wheelchair? Oh no! Was he in an accident?

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'm not going to post spoilers for Mac n Me here, who do you think I am?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

who do you think I am?

Ant-Man co-star Abby Ryder Fortson?

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's ridiculous. Why would I be on Lemmy of all places?

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

So you can hang out with Margot Robbie?

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I, uh, I've got to go. What's that over there!?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Why not? 🤷

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 8 points 3 days ago

Nah, it's obviously Terra Girl.
