I'll try to avoid spoilers, just because I think I binged it a bit quicker than most, but just wanted to say how happy I was it was not bad. Personally, I feel they went for a very literal adaptation, which is fine, but it also means I don't think the animation added much. It was perfectly serviceab...

Hyped! In preparation for its release, I'm hosting a viewing party with friends for the 1st two 80s Astro Boy episodes, as well as the 2 parter Greatest Robots.
