Does it bother anyone else that all 52 episodes will never be properly subbed and encoded?
We have Astro Boy 2003 and Tetsujin 2004 at least.
It seems that Sony will never get the rights back.
The only company that I can think that would be interest in such a vintage and obscure series (in the west) would be Discotek.
Is there any hope?
learn other languages mate.
Wait, the 2003 Astro Boy? I thought that never got fully released and nobody was subbing it? Or is it just HKsubs?

I think it's nearly fully released and only is missing an episode or two?
Trouble is, the subs are just the dub script which took a few liberties. It's obvious with the sub when there's subs for added lines from the dub on-screen when no-one's saying shit in Japanese.

Yes, yes it does. But don't get your hopes up. This world is not fair. It seems not even Avex Mode lists this series in their licenses anymore, so forget about even a re-release. Who knows who has the rights for it these days.

Even that won't solve the problem. Witness Metal Armor Dragonar. It was subbed in italian since god knows when, and yet in english we're still not even half way through. At this pace it is going to take more than one decade to have it finished. So even if the italians or spanish somehow subbed Cyborg 009 it is going to take a freakishly long time to have it in english if at all. So your best bet is to learn japanese and download the raws.

Does it bother anyone that studios keep trying to make a CGI garbage reboot of this show?
What is it, twice now?

Am I the only one who wanted cyborg 009 x 003 end?

009 also had this with Ivan, for the little of it that got official subs.

I always liked the show since I was a kid, wish the quality was better though.

A new encode of the full series was posted last month: https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=898202
No English subs though.

To be fair, RE is a sequel to the manga and Call of Justice's only major flaw was the CGI

Not just that- an anon here uploaded his english dubbed collection of the 2001 series and it had up to episode 48 I belive. Problem was after episode 25 quality began to vary- episode 38 being the worst iirc

Yeah, bless that anon that posted the second half of the 2001 series.
