This episode is about a robot from Mars that loses its' head, literally, and tries to get it back. However, most of the characters in the show try their hardest to stop him from getting it back. This is the first genuinely bad episode of Astro Boy, due in part to how frustrating the whole plot and characters are. To start off,

Also,

It was so frustrating seeing that. Finally,

It was the first time I've ever felt genuinely annoyed by Astro.

Also, why is Skunk ALWAYS causing trouble? Why does he always get to escape? Why won't anyone stop this annoying character? It would be fine if he was at least a bit entertaining, but he's such a generic and annoying villain, and yet he keeps coming back over and over and over and OVER again. So frustrating. To top it all off, even though the ending is somber, it still ends with the triumphant music that ends other episodes. Did they not realize why that was a terrible decision? Overall, this episode was the first one I think I genuinely hated. Bad plot, bad character decisions, bad ending, bad everything.
