For those who don't know, Jetter Mars was a show made by Osamu Tezuka, the creator of the classic Astro Boy. It started off as the concept of a color remake of Astro Boy, but because issues involving the rights of it, he had to make a new show from the ground up. Well, sort of. It borrowed a lot of elements from the show it was based on. Including Astro himself making a cameo as a statue. Doctor Tenma also appeared in it at one point.

The show had a new set of main characters that had similarities of the main cast of Astro Boy.
Jetter Mars (Astro Boy)
Dr. Yamanoue (Dr. Tenma)
Dr. Kawashimo (Professor Ochanomizu)
Miri (Uran)

So... discuss!

Poor Dr. Yamanoue, he died way too early. I wonder if he ever appeared in any of Tezuka's other works.
