I used to think classic works were not so generic, perhaps my perception was wrong. As I came across Pluto’s ending it sure felt generic.
Anyway, to start, the first 2 volumes were really great, I was so invested in it but after that somewhere along the way I couldn’t find the same enjoyment & wanted to finish it as soon as possible. The anti robot religious group had potential but wasted it very hilariously. And what happened to Adolf and his family afterwards? They just left him alone or what?
Why did Gesicht have so much hatred? Why was his memory erased? So many questions left untold.
Being the greatest of Robots except Gesicht and Atom all the others were lackluster! What was the point of being called the advanced destruction weapons when you can’t even behave like a robot, like they were literally more human than humans themselves. Don’t even talk about feats, except Gesicht and Atom all the other robots were feat less fodder man how can they be called the greatest of robots when they acted kinda pathetic or should I a even a human could have done better for the story with a Iron man suit than those robots.
Gesicht was charismatic and as a character entertaining but the moment he died This manga lost its charm and I lost my will. Gesicht could have finished the story,It was his duty, responsibility but no the author had to revive Atom.
Antagonist of this Manga was also a disappointment. I don't know how the robots lost to that piece of crap! “God of war” what a pathetic joke!
The art was good and in some panels great, no complaints in that part, It was detailed enough for my taste.
I don’t really think this work should be considered a masterpiece as it seems a lot of people think that way. But there were some good parts too. Certainly this is not a bad manga or perhaps I expected a little more.
