Finally got to see some of go astro boy go in English!

So far I actually really like it! It takes it a little bit to hit its stride (or at least for me to get into kid show mode) but when it does, it's a whole lot of fun. There were jokes and plot points that literally had me cackling like an idiot for several minutes.

Being an educational kids cartoon, it's obviously not gonna be on the level of the mainline series but compared to its predecessor little astro boy, it's a lot more enjoyable.

The show is a nice balance of silly and actually educational, unlike LAB, which kind of tried to be educational sometimes (I think?) but was too hyper and off the rails to really say anything important. I actually learned some neat facts from GABG!

And the environmental messages are good about not completely demonizing human involvement in nature, and just trying to find alternatives that allow both humans and animals to coexist peacefully, which is cool. I'm so used to environmental messages for kids being super ham fisted, but not here.

But of course, being a kids show there's also that emphasis on the silly. It can be a bit hyperactive also, but most of the hyperactivity in GABG is localized purely in astro kitty, who is pretty funny if you like that sort of "shitty little brother" character (which I personally do) lmao.

Overall the writing makes it feel like a show I would have watched on PBS kids growing up, and it would be one I'd totally show to hypothetical children.

Voice acting is very, very hit and miss but if you can stand it the characters are all decently fun

The art style feels very "phone app" but it looks pretty good in motion, and they have some pretty cool looking once-per-episode stock footage. Also the way the characters' abilities line up I could actually see how a potential mobile game would work

Also whoever is on art direction really loves slipping in random star system references in the backgrounds and it makes me so happy to point and be like "Oh! That's [Character]! :O"

My personal favorite reference for soon to be obvious reasons is OT2 whose design is literally just cobalt but an emoji

Whichever absolute galaxy brain of a human being not only thought of this but also gave me the ability to potentially express all my emotions in little emoji cobalts deserves a massive raise and also my love and adoration

I've only seen 10 episodes so I can't give a proper rating but just for OT2 we're looking at 1000000000000/10
