The best episode by far. I doubt they'll be able to top this one, but I'd love to be proven wrong. This is the second part of the previous episode where Pluto the robot is trying to destroy the seven most powerful robots in the world. In the previous episode,
It was interesting seeing Pluto fight agains Hercules the robot, and was probably one of my favorite fights in the episode, although imo it was a bit too short. However, the fight against Epsilon was done pretty badly. To start off,
Secondly,
I would have liked the fight to be more even instead of Epsilon having all these disadvantages. It felt cheap as a result.

I really liked all the robot designs and I REALLY liked the ending as well, with a great final shot of all the robots alongside Astro and Dr. Ochanomizu. Not to mention, they end it with a great message. I guess this also means that
I really can't express how much I liked this episode. It was great in almost every way.

Now this was deep, I really loved the pacing of this episode from Beginning-Middle-Resolution. The premise strongly picks up exactly where the previous episode left off. Here, we're introduced to the remaining Robots who're quite interesting in background and ability. Then we have the climax with Pluto towards the end which carries such strong themes and leaves a lasting impression that questions the way humanity operates. The cherry on the top, an episode that perfectly builds off of the former episode.

A fitting conclusion. The first half of the episode was largely more of the same, though it was nice to see Pluto's compassion win out and Pluto and Atom teaming up. My main complaint is just how heavy handedly the message was conveyed in the last third of the episode; I felt they really overdid it considering they had essentially already said everything more naturally earlier. I suppose it is a children's cartoon at the end of the day...
