One can only hope that Episode 139 is found one day, so that all of the OG TV anime can be available in full. Highly doubt that this would ever see an English subtitled release, but with Right Stuf now gone (& Crunchyroll not likely to renew the license to Astro Boy '63, once that finally expires), you never know...

Last time I checked RetroCrush had Astro 63 but not all the episodes only 1-104. But yes I agree, hopefully they can find Episode 139 and be available physically and streaming in the future.

One can hope, and I'm happy to see what used to be thought lost episodes/lost media has been recovered, and hopefully one day can been seen around the world. I hope to see this subtitled in the near future.

Good find on the Japanese side!!!

There's a reason for that. Only the first 104 episodes were dubbed.

As mentioned, what's currently available to watch is the old NBC Astro Boy dub. The original Tetsuwan Atom has never been made officially available in English, outside of the first episode being subbed for one of Right Stuf's ultimate edition DVD boxsets, I believe.

I didn't realize that there were only three episodes unaccounted for until now. Great news!

Ahh yes, that would make sense. Sorry jumped the gun on that bit of info. Although I do wonder why it's not subbed.
