Astro B.O.Y.D.!

Story was predictable, but it was well handled. I did like seeing more of B.O.Y.D. The action scenes in this are really well animated.

This was a really fun one. In the continuing fashion of this season, this episode is an homage to another nerdy staple of its audience's youth: anime. Clearly from the title, there were going to be Astroy Boy references (such as BOYD's feet turning into the signature rockets), but the action sequences were extremely well done, utilizing similar action tropes from mecha anime, and even various sound effects familiar to the genre. One thing I kept thinking throughout the episode was how cool it would have been if they enlisted a studio like Production IG or Bones to handle animation and direction duty of the entire episode, but the resident team did a great job nonetheless. The story was heartfelt and touching and really stands on its own among the better episodes of this show.
