No thread of AotS?
A106 is best mech
No nose grabbing, shit episode.
Cool, thanks!

So how do they compact Atom into Astro? Not to mention the 1 million horse power.
Science is a mystery
>>15483901
Technology advanced enough in 20-40 years. Also, Astro had a fuckton of cash poured into him.
Sad that this isn't getting more attention. I find it very comfy.
>>15484382
This episode was very comfy, but couple that with the lack of any real action and it nearly put me asleep.
>>15483607
This is a prequel to astroboy right?
will I have to watch that first if I wanted to watch this?
>>15484713
Nope
Just know that 2 of the main cast get married and their kid dies
>>15484382
>Sad that this isn't getting more attention
It's not that engaging at the moment. The delivery could be better. The only things that are keeping me in are the art and animation.
>>15483607
Did the crocs by the doorstep in the last ep belong to atom
>>15483901
Thirty years of advancement in robotics technology will do that.
A106 may be pretty advanced within the context of this setting, but compared to Astro Boy, he's like a Roomba.
>>15484713
No, but it's not like you can easily do so nowadays anyway
>>15484295
>Also, Astro had a fuckton of cash poured into him.
He also wasn't built in a cave out of scraps, but at the premier global robot research- and costruction facility.
I am not a villain or anything, just passing through.
>>15483607
Where can I watch this? All the usual spots are gone.
>>15483607
its a shame the actual show doesn't use the art style/ colours of the OP
>>15484735
Is this why they changed its robotic appearence?
>>15490774
Yes Astro. Atom in their heathen language, is modeled after their dead child
>>15491411
Damn, now I feel sad.
I should read the manga I guess.
>>15490517
check horriblesubs' site.

Jesus Christ
>>15492400
It's okay Tobio was a dick.
>>15492400
Something is wrong with the panels
>>15484382
Yeah, I'm liking it a lot since I like Atom in general.
Hopefully we'll get a PLUTO adaptation at some point.
Agree with the other anons regarding that it's not very engaging and a bit slow, hopefully it will pick up after the tournament.
>>15493685
Dark Horse scans.
>>15487014
Yes
Even as androids become more advanced and lifelike, they can always be identified by their total lack of fashion sense.

Older manga published outside of Japan used to be mirrored to read L to R because they thought people would be too stupid to figure out how to read R to L.
>>15498439
I still prefer mirrored Kozure Ookami over the original 2bh.
Ep 3 is out
>>15500905
Ah... never mind what week is it? am i too late?
>>15500905
Meh episode overall
I love this chick
When will subs come out for the 4th episode?
>>15504789

>>15502197
Oh fuck, it's cute.
>>15506362
We already knew 6 was cute when we saw his cute robutt.
>not implanting it
Is OTK in go even possible?
>>15503482
Also those gratuitous ass shotsof a106
So we're all in agreement that the ICE woman is Tenma's mom, right? The nose knows.
Will it get past the tournament? The past two eps have been filler even though this is only 13 episodes long. The opening makes it seem like the tournament is the main focus too.
Am I the only one who thinks the weird sexual tension between Ochanomizu and Tenma is kind of... Sacrilegious? I feel like they're too "classic", that putting generic modern anime shit upon them is like spitting on Tezuka and the very foundation of anime.
Plus there doesn't seem to be a reasonable way for Tenma to turn from the conceited goofball we see here into the abusive alcoholic we see in 90% of Astro Boy media.
>>15511218
What weird sexual tension? Nose grabbing isn't a sexual act, they're just genius autistic friends.
>>15511218
>bromantic nose grabbing
>sexual tension
Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Anon?
>>15511218
Okay, I was probably projecting with that post. I should clarify.
The name "Atom: The Beginning" led me to expect something a little more true to the source material. Tenma and Ochanomizu aren't supposed to be anywhere close in age, but here they are as peers for the sake of (what I feel is unnecessary) bromance. I can at least appreciate how the "unnamed disaster and reconstruction" is probably just a nod to WWII and Japan's changing mindset in consideration of using technology for the betterment of mankind. I still wish this was set a few decades before the 2000's to coincide with Atom's canon birthday, instead in the vague "near future" setting.
>>15511241
Have you read Phoenix? There's a scene where the shota sucks on a guy's nose/
>>15492642
Tenma was a dick first
>>15512845
Like father, like son.
So Ran likes Six, right?
>>15515148
Who DOESN'T like Six?
It should have been him and Ran in maid outfits
>>15515148
She just wants him for his body
