I have several categories, but will list just one episode.

There is one that seems based upon an Outer Limits story, that being I, Robot. In episode 45, revolution eve (Night Before the Revolution) the robot is accused and presumed guilty of throwing the little girl down the stairs. But, as with Adam Link, so too with Kip (Jake), if these robots wanted to harm these humans, why do so indirectly? Link was holding up a shelf that fell from the wall & killed his creator just as someone entered the room. Presumed guilty, & ordered destroyed. Yet, the creator's daughter now inherited her papa's things, including Adam. If Kip wanted to harm Ena (Hanna), he could have easily done so, but the herd mentality that feared robots, insisted that he was guilty, denied him the right to speak in his own defense, because he might lie; as Adam was denied because he was a robot.

Kangaroo courts in both cases returned the guilty verdicts (except in the color remake TOL series, in which Cutler (Nimoy) succeeds in having Adam declared 'human').

I suppose my love for the original TOL made this episode one of my favorites, but for sheer enjoyment, I would rate it rather low, & go with a cute episode probably #20 ETERNAL CHILDREN.

BTW, I hate that the new Tezuka website uses the ELV's titles on it English language page.

One of my faves would have to be "The Fall of Acheron". The ending where Astro and Zoran are standing on the edge of the volcano together and that dramatic ending music is playing always affects me for some reason. O.o Then theres the fact that Pluto realized the 'something he wanted to protect' was his friendship with lil' Zoran. How sweet. ^^ Another is of course "The Final Battle", but not just because of the hug. But because I thought Tenma looked pretty beastly flying into laboratory seven on his little green goblin jet thingy. lol Then there was the "March of the Micro Bears" episode. I laughed every time one of those things spoke!

Then there was the "March of the Micro Bears" episode. I laughed every time one of those things spoke!

My favorite scene in that episode is when one is approaching Tenma himself as he is playing the organ. I do like the episode.

[Astro Forever]

Yes, exactly! I do remember that "Caption the picture game" round. I was just too lazy to search for the picture yesterday.

[Gotta Love ASTRO BOY]

I like March of the Micro Bears where friendship is more powerful, Micro Adventure because Astro cares so much for Zoran, and The Finall Battle when Astro is leaning up against the wall and all happy cuz he got freedom and the hug
