kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12Watching the team plan for the next robot prototype through Six’s perspective symbolises the emotions that the show tried to explore: wonder and hopelessness. Throughout, as much as Six feels like a success, it feels that this success is what is leading him to be replaced.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11The audience's response to what kind of robot Mars is perceived to be showcases the show's underlying message that people are slowly starting to accept robots as being capable of autonomy and the unfairness of that when abused.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10The all-out battle royale style of fighting competition is an entertaining way to see the different fighting styles of robots, and how they compare to the others, as well as how their teams use that to try to win.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9Showing how everyone responds differently to Six’s state going into the semifinals showcases a larger question of how each views the robots and their control over them as the creators.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 8Watching the different robots and their creators in the competition adds personality to the worldbuilding, making the competition more interesting for the audience because it isn’t clear who would be the victor.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7Seeing how similar Ran’s passion for robots like her brother's, but how she goes about it differently, shows how the different characters react to the same plot device, especially when faced with how much her brother and Tenma have learned since being her age.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6Hiroshi’s extreme emotional opinion about Six’s condition due to believing that the robot has a heart shows one of the extremes of the scales in this world, and leads to future questions of autonomy and limits within a comedic setting.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5Seeing how reluctant detective Kensuu Ban is towards a more sentient robot helping with the work introduces a larger conversation about how AI is seen in this world, which is reinforced later by the idea of AI losing control and the direct impact on society.
kirstyb★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4Even when tense plot points are being developed, the show keeps a light-hearted tone. It will be interesting to see how more serious topics about AI and robots in society are explored with this tone.
