| This show just keeps getting better and better. Episode 4 was amazing. |
 |
| It was the scene i was waiting the most in the anime: Astro Boy is dead! Gesicht erased past is little by little come to be revealed. |
| another great episode so many things to say... |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| Ochanomizu is such a kind soul. Seeing Tenma in this adaptation makes me wonder if the OG Tenma served as some inspiration for Gendo Ikari. Pluto's Tenma definitely gives me Gendo vibes. |
 |
| rough stuff for adolf, being paired up with gesicht. ahh robot doggo though. |
 |
| Another fantastic episode! R.I.P. Atom, you will forever be in our hearts.. R.I.P. Yujiro-kun, thank you for your services! |

| This adaptation continues to impress. The animation is Atom's scene was absolutely beautiful. I kept rewinding the scene to watch it again. |
 |
| Woah, I didn't expect it to happen. RIP Captain Atom aka Astro Boy. This show doesn't bother to rely on plot armor when telling a story. Nice. I liked bold takes in scenarios. I wonder if later on Atom will be rebuilt somehow? We will see. I feel there might be a chance of something like this actually occuring. |
| atom is in a coma not dead for sure hate is also needed for a perfect artificial intelligence to become perfectly human that commits error and learn from its mistakes to evolve |
| Amazing episode! The animation is so great! That scene where Astro comes to Ochanomizu's grandson was pleasure to look at. |
| Dang, I didn't think Atom would get killed off midway. Adolf pairing up with Gesicht looks like redemption character arc incoming. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The author really wanted a spin-off story where Tenma was the villain, huh? It's weird seeing this episode and looking at how the trailers sold me on the fact that Atom was the main character for some reason, it also helps seeing the similarities with Astro Boy, in his design at least, and then he gets offed. By the looks of it, the detective looks more and more like the sole protagonist. |
| Best volume received best episode. |
| IIRC from 2003 Astro Boy, despite being lauded as one of the greatest robots Tenma believes Atom is a failure because he can never be his son Tobio, no matter how perfectly he can imitate him. Beyond that though, I think Tenma's view is AI tht's only allowed to feel or express positive emotions, is not perfect, because a human also feels/expresses negative emotions. We have seen anger emerge in Gesicht though as he's visibly disgusted as his fellow robot being beaten by Adolf. To Gesicht, Adolf's part of an Anti-Robot hate group, and knows he holds a grudge. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Atom was killed!!! It was a surprise!! The are a few points, but the principal reason could be the revenge!!! kekeke |
| Holding out to Astro Boy not actually being dead but idk. The other robots seem to have been a pretty big deal as well yet they're definitely dead. For all I know this is kind of like an alternate universe storyline you'd find in superhero comic books. |
 |
| That’s it?! Atom is just gone? Such a lame way of again and again going about disposing of all these significant characters and reveal nothing again and again. |

| 10/10 episode. I loved every part of the Adolf plot line so far it’s genuinely amazing. I find it hard to believe that Atom is dead because he’s listed as a main character, but if he is then I respect the balls of this show. How cool it is to have another “Dr. Tenma” in another of this author’s works… |
    |
| Let's go Atom is dead now shit gets really interesting. |
 |
| Never realized Atom was this important until now. |
 |
| Don't get Tenma's logic. Why create a robot that is capable of hatred and murder??? Perfect robot is a deadlier human? Dude's messed up and should've been locked up. |
| Such an intense episode. That Atom scene will forever be engraved into my brain for how awesome the animation looked. |
| Another really damn good episode with plenty of tension building up again (especially with Gesicht, Haas and the video that showcased Darius XIV's potential involvement), some heartbreak with Atom's death against Pluto, and Tenma's philosophy towards the perfect robot towards the end. Tenma's logic sure was twisted but his idea of perfection for artificial intelligence to replicate humans is ironically having imperfections and frustrations that could lead to anger/hatred, which are common human emotions left out to be cleansed. Considering Gesicht was pissed off at the end there as Adolf beat up a cleaning robot alongside some frustrations surrounding his memories and nightmares, there seems to be a lot to discover about Gesicht over the next few episodes. I'm happy this series only has 8 long episodes, too many episodes would make this feel a little boring but the writing has been fairly tight and has consistently been engaging throughout the first half. |
| Bruhhh WHAT?? Atom die? Nahhh come on. |
 |
| Surely Atom's not really dead right? I mean he wasn't stuck with horns anyway, might be a chance to revive him somehow |
 |
| The story keeps getting better and better, Dr Tenma seems the big bad and I thought Ochanomizu made Atom but turns out Dr Tenma made him. This is really engaging tbh, I like how the story is slowly making more and more sense. So presumably Dr Tenma made Pluto which is the ultimate robot. Atom surely cant be dead right? :( |
 |
| What?! Did not see that coming at all. |
 |
| Damn, they killed Astro Boy. Or at least that's what it looked like... no horns placement so idk. Adolf being protected by Gesicht is quite the irony indeed. |
| That's not the Dr. Tenma I remember. |
| Hmm well I'm pretty sure this is a canon story in the Astro Boy universe so I'm pretty sure Atom can't be dead lol. Unless this was taking place after Astro Boy, but I know absolutely nothing about Astro Boy so I can't make any educational guesses. Still I doubt he is dead. The story with Aldof getting more intertwined with Gesicht is getting pretty interesting as well. Some thoughts that Gesicht is able to kill humans are being floated. It's something I've definitely thought could be the case up till now. |
| The laziest battle scene I've ever watch because there's no fighting scene at all just some disco lightning light and then end with dead how boring it could be |
| This show couldn't have come out at a better time, now that AI's all the rage among techbros these days and only growing more sophisticated. Regardless, I love how Urasawa's able to go on narrative tangents about what appear to be minor characters in the grand scheme of things and have me as invested in them as I am in the main story. He's an exceptional writer, on par with the likes of Alan Moore. |
Take care of yourself |
| ROBOT DOG!! .... robot dog ): Damn and Yujiro is dead bro was just a silly little robot fella Goji oh crap this guy is bad news Atom appears out of nowhere Uran is there with Bobby Is Goji really behind all the killings Oh crap is Atom dead, damn just like that he cant be dead GOD DAMN A CAR BOMB TOO THIS EPISODE IS CRAZY WHAT IS GOING ON Adolf cannot catch a break damn Another big guy dead, Dr. Howard who created Epsilon VIDEO OF DARIUS XIV WHAT IS GOING ONNN Bro went crazy on that cleaning robot damn Gesicht kinda went too far for being a robot Craziest episode so far I think |
  me candies:        |
| I just love how everything is connected! And Tenma isn’t such a nice person this time around. |
 |
| Great episode... |
