| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hm, this finale episode is interesting. The amount of focus on A106 made it seem very human almost like it has its own personal thoughts. It felt like an eerie episode because of the state A106 is in. Overall, I think this show was pretty underrated. I enjoyed what the creator did with its ideas in particular with the robotics themes. |
 |
| boy I was ready to gave this show an 8 and this episode just hit me hard in the feels... I'm curious if they are going to do a second season, i would so like that heh overall this episode was quite sad, seeing the state A106 were 9/10 |

| The feels in this episodes. Oh my god and the music is fitting the scenes so well. I sympathized with A106 even though he is a robot. Really underrated show. |
 |
| Beautiful finale. It was interesting to see how Six managed to recover his data using the fragments that were left behind after the reset, those were the visions he kept seeing and the incorporation of these visions along with him watching his creators argue about his future in that half destroyed state made this episode really emotional. For a second I thought A106 might actually be scrapped so they could move along with the development of A107. I'm really glad that Six was finally repaired, I love how Six's introspection seem to show he believes he has a heart. :) Glad to see Bewusstsein is gaining recognition because of Six's feats. Is A107 the preliminary model for Astro Boy? The model on the computer seemed to hint at it. Overall, definitely a great show. Loved watching Six's various feats, especially as we see him learn, recognize and analyze his surroundings. It was really interesting to see him develop the Ego-conscious mentioned way back in episode 2 i.e. Bewusstsein and learn to show kindness in his actions and develop his own thoughts. The tournament brought that out really well. In a sense Six did carry the show but in another way Six is the show. 8/10, I was gonna give 7 but after the tournament and this final episode I can't. :3 |
 |
| It's sad how they don't even clean him or just look at him... the only one who's taking care of him is Ran |
| End of this nice anime series, 7/10 to me, with a another nice episode, because we can enjoy with Six evolution during his convalescence and uncertain future, his mind process, and how takes conscience how being and he wants to live!!! The last sequence after ending was a "good bye", but i hope a second season, because was a interesting anime series. |
| Such an good (and sad) episode!.....fantastic finale. I really want more. |
| The feels in this finale. It was sad how Six was being treated in this episode even though they didn't actually mean it. Ran was pretty much the only one taking care of Six. 8/10. Wouldn't mind a season 2. |
 |
| Loved this anime, and it all makes me more upset knowing what the future holds. |

| This episode did a great job at closing things off yet hinting at a possible season 2. There was so much tension throughout the entire episode. Overall this was a great show and one of the more underrated from this season definitely! 8/10 |
| Even though Tenma was a HUGE dick in the last 2 episodes, he managed to come around when it counted and I'm happy to see him and Hiroshi make up and act like the brothers we know they are Seeing Six's journey was a joy to witness and I'm so happy that he not only won the tournament, but he found deeper meaning in his existence through his relationships with his fellow kind and the humans around him (Ran most of all) 7/10 overall, we need a second season! |
| It was a great episode but so different from the rest of the series. It felt really out of place. It felt more like an OVA than a finale. |
| Good final episode that focused on the emotions of A106 and his "dreams" during his reconstruction. The final sequence where he jumps into the air like he's flying and sees a "dream" image of Astro Boy flying through the sky is excellent foreshadowing and was a really cool way to end this anime. Overall I give this anime a 6/10 because it had some flaws and didn't use some of the episodes to develop the story they way they should have but I really enjoyed the anime! I believe this will be the only season because there are only 6 volumes of manga and this anime covered all of them...so no season 2 coming for this one and that's ok because they finished things up nicely. |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| well that was a very depressing ending :( I liked the anime overall,but two last episodes were very interesting,seeing Six point of view was beautiful but sadly at the end it became nothing... if a second season is announced i will maybe change the note but if that's the true ending its a 6.5/10 for me sadly. |

| This anime was 8/10 for me most of the time. Fun to see both guys creating and trying to improve their AI and robot. The wrestling tournament was interesting as well. And to see Six trying to communicate with Mars was nice as well. Last episode made me change my score to 7/10 though. This was a bit toooo boring and uneventful. And felt a bit too philosophical. Not going to watch the older Astro Boy stuff but I might watch that Pluto anime which was announced and I hope it is mainly focused on the crimes (crime fiction) and not tooo philosophical else I might get bored too fast. |
| just finished this show...A106 was finally back and fixed with the help of Ran & Tenma & Ochanomizu! I hope there's a sequel...A107!?!? 4/5. 7/10. |

Si, la verdad que Selecta vision se está esmerando con los simulcast, una pena que no está viendo tanta gente como debería |
 |
| This last episode made me feel so bad for A106. :( Really heart-wrenching stuff. The series as a whole was really fun, though, and they kind of set it up for a season 2, even though they didn't announce anything. Well, I believe the manga is still ongoing, so perhaps we'll get one. Here's hoping! |

| @@rvbrick Where do the incoherencies lie? (interested because I didn't watch the show and can hardly find the manga in stores) edit @rvbrick Thank you. I had some fears for Tenma but I thought it was mainly because of how I already saw him in my mind (his younger self included(. From what I read, I didn't mind the "gap" between the style it was and Tezuka's (just like with Pluto). @Arashi_Rogue But don't we already know this character development? edit @Arashi_Rogue Ah, characterization rather than development. ^^ Sorry for the confusion, I thought you were talking about the lack of evolution for the two future roboticists. |

| Pretty good watched that was nicely paced. Hopefully there is a season two, because more character development would be great. Oh and the sensual nose grabbing was a plus ;) |
| It was a sad episode and looking at what A106 thought made him even more human. Sometimes, Tenma really acts like a dick... Fortunately, they fixed A106, it would have been sad if the anime ended on the A107's creation. Overall, Atom is a very good anime and I love the opening song. I hope it gets a 2nd season. |

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant the whole cast. Like Motoko, Moriya, and Joutaru. It may just be me but I from these 13 episodes I cant really distinguish anything other than their title/status. |
| Not a too bad final episode, but I did expected something more! In general I quite liked this series as it has a quite decent concept with some interesting progression and as it is the prequel to another very great and old anime, I definitely look forward to watch that one day! All in all a decent watch! |
 |
| Damn it, this show was good and yet extremely underrated. So I'm gonna give this anime a 7 (or 8?) out of 10 score overall. I know I'm so late for the discussion/for this topic. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| I think this anime was enjoyable and upgrades to Six were awesome. I loved how he jumped so high like that proves that he is stronger and faster than before( now where is Mars now?). I guess this is the beginning and more is yet to come, and I can't wait for it. The series had bad marks there and there but I only got to enjoy it when it came to robot wrestling and Six taking out opponents without damaging them. I liked only Ran and Six from the entire characters, but others were all lame as hell. 7/10. |

| loved this show, well made, wish they made second season. Only thing that doesn't make any sense is deleting Robots memory while trying to make Robots with soul/heart |
