removed-user said: I watched a few episodes (1, 2, 3, 10, 52, 56, 71, and 193) I didn't notice any "casual racism" or stereotypes in them. That aside, Tetsuwan Atom doesn't hold up at all. It's a childish, low-budget, old black & white show, with nothing to offer to a modern viewer, unless you're interested in anime history.The first SUCCESSFUL Anime series every created. Do you thnk this holds even after almost 60 years? Aside from the casual racism and stereotypes. I only really enjoyed episodes 1 and 71. Especially 71 felt a little more creative and even slightly more mature (It was also partially colored). But besides that, it was tiresome to watch. That's because, with each episode, they'd try to shove as much stuff as possible into those 20+ minutes, without any regard for proper pacing. At times it felt ridiculously disjointed - Constantly jumping from one plot point to another, changing scenes, changing characters, changing pace. It felt like keeping up with constantly changing events required way more focus than it should. I stopped watching, once I started to feel annoyed by it. There's no way, I'd want to watch the full 193 episodes. Only watch it, if you're interested in the history of the medium. Or just watch the 1980 version, I've heard it was better |

| Like @Tulkas_astaldo said, its more for you if you're interested in anime history. Watching the series with like 15 I did enjoy it, but I also read the manga at the same time so it was interesting to compare how they animated the chapters. But if you're not in for a particular chapter but rather for the story you could watch eg the 2009 Movie |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| In some cases, yes. Some episodes are fully anime original and others are just tonned down versions of the original chapter -like some character survive or they create entire new ones-. I didn't watch the other adaptations yet except Pluto which its another story. Since its extremely episodic, its obvious its going to be rushed. So far, you can watch episode 1 and then watch any episode at any order. The series doesn't give a shit about continuity. I didn't watch all anyways. |
