I use to think it was an anime but now I'm not sure after learning about manga and stuff, so do any of you know what exactly it is? manga or anime?
 
manga are comics of japan and anime are animation of japan. you can't mistake them now. astro boy if it's a japan made animation, then it's anime and if it has comic then it's manga
 
An anime for sure and I don't know if it has manga or not. Some anime are made from light novels too.
I used to watch it a lot as a kid

Pretty sure this is a anime, granted it was made back in a time when anime really wasn't a thing yet.

Oh I see, it was a bit confusing to me as every now and again in the show it looked like comics. Thanks

Cool me two, now that I'm not a kid anymore it doesn't appeal as much to me but due to learning about this new manga thing I was just a bit curious.

New manga? Are you talking about one punch man which can be compared to Astro boy?
Are you watching anything interesting?
 
Originally a manga series that ran from 1952 to 1968.
But what it's famous(or rather iconic) for is that its anime adaptation, that came in the year 1963, was sort of the first time an entity called anime surfaced. It's the first time a Japanese animated series occupied a 30 minute block on TV and ran for several seasons. That's often why people call it the most influential anime of all time.
This was again remade in 1980.

not watching anything right now. Have some other stuff to deal with atm but will get to those animes soon
 
Manga written by Osamu Tezuka, the father of modern manga. Not that good by today's standard but it could be entertaining
