"Atlas"

First real villian that Astro goes again, Atlas, another robot created by Dr. Tenma.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Man that task force leader had some hardcore racism but with robots, I'm pretty sure that this ideology is going to play a part in the series, and that ending was weird and came outta nowhere.

I think the English dub skipped an episode or completely deleted it since the sub has a different episode. The original 3rd episode has Astro and the professor traveling to space.

Regardless, this time the human's racism against robots is on full display as the general seemingly brags about destroying disobedient robots, even though they did it for a good cause, without hearing the full story at least. He sure was stubborn. This highlights Astro's first encounter with prejudice and preconception of humans.

I liked this episode. This episode was more fast paced than the previous episode, but I think it's still a good episode because I enjoyed watching Atom exploring space and being curious about, as well as the sweet ending this episode had with Atom saving the alien and sending out a message for Atom.
