Without looking, I think the name you want is
the robots nobody wanted. I too, like this one, but mainly because its topic is also briefly addressed by an episode of
Futurama, which I think was called
Bendin' in the wind.
I find the contrast amusing.
As to my favorite episode, it would be either
The monster of Clarken, because of the really cute mer-boy, Pepe; or
The Greatest Robot on Earth, or
Uran the tomboy, because of Uran's part in it. Those little ones just tickle me silly.
:wahah:
First Pepe is so cute, I could not help, but burst out laughing. He did not need to do anything that was cute or silly, he was sufficient. Uran's little tap dance was just too cute, and the song that went with it was also cute. Her dressing in her big brother's nonexistent briefs (because they are painted on him), was cute in itself, because of the inconsistency, but when she did the shadow boxing, I lost it. Then she went out to fight Bruton (manga name: Pluto), which was funny because she was the size of his thumb, yet she wanted to fight him.
:wahah:
We had quite an interesting discussion of
Atom's briefs/Uran the impostor on this thread. Another discussion that received far too little attention was
Technical difficulties/impossibilities of Atom. I went to a good bit of detail, but nobody responded to this topic! :angry:
Coming in close on their heels, would be
The baby elephant pook, and
the crystal of the desert. I do not know why I liked the elephant ep so much, just that it comes to mind. It was more sad than cute, though. The
the crystal of the desert had a scene with Atom tossed into the air by the spring (of water) which was cute, as was the rodent robot that tried to give him a spare energy cassette.
theres a clip from it in the video section
