I really don\'t think so. The old series had Sir Tezuka directing it. This one has only his students filling in his job.
Much of the original story was... well... thrown out the window. In this version, it sounds like Astro was found somewhere and he has no memories of how he was \"born\". If read the manga, the part of his \"father\" mysteriously \"helping\" or getting in his way would sound kinda familiar...
Another reason why maybe they changed the story was because the original and the second version dealt with A LOT of dark themes (ex.- child cruelty).
Weather or not Sir Tezuka is rolling in his grave, the new version has been made and is now showing...

A popular lie although it sounds quite true. There were a few Japanese \"comic\" strips before Sir Tezuka started drawing.
Now, he might be the first to make children and girl manga but I\'m not sure... I should research about that!
