#Otherwise I think I will stick to Black Jack as far as Hamegg content is concerned XD I love me some Black Jack even if Hamegg isn't on the

It’s always just my luck that I wind up actually liking the Astro Boy adaptations that either aren’t that popular or that people usually don’t like huh... :’)
Like I can understand why many people may not like the 2009 movie or the 2014 preschool series you know, like that’s fair, especially if you’re a hard core fan of the franchise as far as lore is concerned!  In that case, I can understand why people don’t like these works since they water down the material to it’s bare essentials to appeal more to kids, something I have a personal pet peeve of whenever I see a show I like myself get a more kid friendly adaptation...
You know, I get it, and having those grips are a 100% justified...
But at the same time, given I’m not the biggest Astro Boy fan, tbh I think that these reasons are probably why I like watching these works more BECAUSE I don’t know much about the lore, and therefore, they are easier for me to enjoy as a casual fan imo
Which is why, all of this aside, after recently binge watching all 8 episodes of Little Astro Boy, I can’t tell you how sad I am that not only did this show get cancelled but that it only has 8 episodes period :(
Like, yeah it’s a kid show and everything, but the art is super cute and nice to look at, and the episodes (at least imo) were pretty entertaining/funny as far as kid shows are concerned, so I really wish this show had been given more of a chance~
All of this, as well as each episode having Hamegg in a main role are just a few reasons why I think this will probably be my fav thing of Astro Boy I’ve seen after the 2009 movie and the 2003 anime (although tbh I still need to sit down and watch the latter all the way through as I just skipped around episodes to see Lamp and Hamegg, so aside from the basic story I have no idea what’s going on there,,,)
On the other hand, to be fair, this is all absolutely biased since, if this show didn’t have so many appearances of Hamegg in it, I probably wouldn’t have ended up liking it as much as I did?  Idk man, I’m a simple person: I see Hamegg content and I click~ I love that man and I’m not too picky, so if you show me a series where he’s in every single episode without fail, then don’t be surprised if I consider it one of the greatest things of all time~
Legit he is the main reason I know about the Star System and it’s other characters in the first place, so if that new Astro Boy show that’s coming out that’s supposed to be made by the same guy that made Miraculous Ladybug wants me to watch it...well...if he is in it...even if it turns out to be trash you’ll still know where to find me XD
