Yeah, there's no talkback even. Today Wednesday's was a repeat (from Toonami) though.

But for Monday and Tuesday's 2-parter, I could swear that story arc is a very close imitation of a past (1980s?) Astroboy arc, down to the horns of the antagonist warrior robot. Except IIRC, in the old case, the horns were armed with powerful electricity, and that's how the antagonist sacrificed himself, by holding on to the fatal horns.

Yeah, too bad we're the only ones watching.

Today's ep was a li'l preachy for my taste, though now that I think about it, the old ones were kinda like that too - yet I enjoyed 'em then! :sweat:
