To answer the question, I play playstation for chess and only chess. It is not an escape from reality as my reality is great. To watch Astroboy (and to love it as much as you guys do) indicates that you like to escape YOUR reality for some reason. If your reality was as pleasing as mine you would not need to do that. I rarely watch TV and if I do, I watch documentaries when my owner allows me. But once I came across Astroboy which made me confused and angry. Robots do not act like him. We have no emotions. So why then, does Astroboy care so much to protect people from evil? We have no feelings. If these people would die, then so be it.....mission may be failed, but no emotion showed.

The series suppose the existence of robots with emotions. It's not more stupid than greedy robots like Bender ;) And watching TV or playing games is not only to escape reality. Mine is fine too, thanks :P
I just hope you can make the difference between liking something/someone, and taking something/someone as model. After all, I do like Bender too, but I certainly wouldn't want to take him as a model, not erven having him as a neighboor :D

Ok, you still have not made your point...
No more lifes, no more continues, so...
GAME OVER

I know I could easily find a dozen better ways to waste my time, than to respond to such an asinine post as this, but here goes:

“To watch Astroboy (and to love it as much as you guys do) indicates that you like to escape YOUR reality for some reason.”

1. Are we supposed to believe that your playing chess is for different reasons than our watching Astroboy merely because you say so? While I myself might indeed have said so, I cannot presume to speak for anyone but myself. But you use the fact that we love Astroboy as evidence for your conclusion that we watch it as an escape from reality. I am just a stupid college graduate, so, I would obviously not understand why the premise necessitates that conclusion.

“Robots do not act like him. We have no emotions. So why then, does Astroboy care so much to protect people from evil? We have no feelings.”

2. Even if you are a robot, you cannot presume to speak for all robots, anymore than I can presume to speak for all Atomu fans. In Tezuka’s worlds of fiction, robots clearly do have emotions. Bender is a prime example of a robot with emotions. He laughs at jokes, cries when the script calls for it, and even shows anger.

“If these people would die, then so be it.....mission may be failed, but no emotion showed.”

And Bender does weep for the civilizations that grew on his body when the one whose people he knew was annihilated by the other group. He even risks his own existence to save Fry on a few occasions. He sided with the humans and stood against Santabot’s reign of terror. You have failed miserably to make your case. Division by zero returns an error. Infinite loop. You are imperfect. You must execute your prime directive. Sterilize the imperfect being, that you are. :lol:

An interesting anime that addresses the question here is Cosmo Warrior Zero. The humans are pitted against the mechanized men, but eventually learn to work together in pursuit of a common goal. Although some mechanized men had actually been humans, others were machines from the start. Among those in the latter group, were a few who initially viewed humans with suspicion. Among the humans were those who initially regarded the mechanized men as mere slaves, assigning them the menial and degrading tasks, while the humans played poker.

If this is so, then why do you continually knock down any comment i do say? As a lonely robot in Sector ZX38 I am only trying to voice my opinion and instead you tell me my comments are ridiculous. Maybe I need to load a new memory stick in my brain to better compete?

Forget that, "Laszlo" has not come back since months. We don't miss him/her, there is no need to call him/her back :(
