Yuki and I took
Mayu (actually I was the one who wanted to go) to the Astro Boy museum to see
the display they have out to celebrate Atom's (Astor Boy's Japanese name)
birthday.
Atom was created
by Osamu Tetsuka in the 60's and exported to America shortly afterwards.
For those of you who don't know, the character is a science fiction robot with
super powers born from the year 2003 (hence the birthday
celebration).
With only displays
of past material used to create Astro Boy TV shows and comics, the birthday
display was nothing spectacular (which is the norm for Japanese attractions and
also the main reason for the huge popularity of American attractions such as
Disneyland over here) but the museum itself was pretty fun. Mayu made her
own piece of animation and she got a big hug from Atom himself!
