Hrmm, I don't like it, they could've made more out of that.

there is a debate on Zorgloob about that since this morning.
I think it decreases Google's credibility & seriousness.

TOMHTML I don't see why it can decrease the credibility of Google since Astroboy is a very well known item in the Japanese culture.

This doodle seems to be part of a Google Japan campaign where Japanese artists (architects, musicians, illustrators) have done several iGoogle themes and widgets.

I don't like it, but in Japan it may be "important" anyhow...

Today, Baidu home page shows a logo for... Barack Obama. It decreases their credibility too.
