In 2015 A.D., Dr. Yamanoue, the Secretary of the Science Ministry, who devotes himself assembles the Android robot on an artificial island. He intends to live together with him as his own son. But the robot has a deficiency in his electric brain. He comes to the conclusion that Dr. Kawashimo's help is essential to correct his defective rain. Although they are friends, they are rivals not only in private life but also in scientific study. Dr. Yamanoue is very jingoistic and only thinks of the robot as one of his strategic arms. On the contrary, Dr. Kawashimo is a pacifist and devotes his affection to robots. Dr. Kawashimo hurries to the island on request of Dr. Yamanoue, taking his pretty young daughter Miri with him. Arriving on the island, Dr. Kawashimo sets the electric brain into Jet Mars, a robot boy. Thus Mars comes into the world. Everything is new to Mars and he doesn't know what is good or bad. On the next day he lifts Dr. Kawashimo and Miri up onto the building. When he sees a glint of moisture in Miri's eyes, he has a mysterious feeling in his mind. Then he asks Dr. Yamanoue what it is. He is taught that it is a tear a weak girl sheds, but, a strong man never does. One day, the electric brain of Fainton, another robot, is put out of order. So Fainton goes-on a wild rampage and the island is plunged into a crisis. When the seawater runs into the facilities from the big hole made by Fainton, only Mars stands in amazement and is quite at a loss what to do just then Miri exhibits her ultra ability and covers the big hole. Led by her, Mars also carries a sheet of iron and makes repairs. At last they rescue Dr. Yamanoue and Dr. Kawashimo from being washed by seawater. Miri is the robot made by Dr. Kawashimo. Mars learns how to cry and learns how to perform a kind deed. (Source: Tezuka Production, Toei Animation)

A journey through MadHouse chapter 3: A watered-down version of Astro Boy. It's not a joke or a mockery, this anime was actually intended to be a reboot of Astroboy, only Tezuka had problems with the production and decided to create Jetter Mars instead. The anime has Mars as its protagonist, a robot created for war but that has a chip that allows him to process human emotions. Therefore, he will have a constant learning about ethics and morals to use his powers correctly. I know that the anime was made by Toei but I watched it because MadHouse was part of the production. In fact, the scriptwriterof this work was the sometimes loved and sometimes hated Masao Murayama. The work begins being what one expects, a super powerful robot with no sense of ethics or morals while a third person teaches him to be more human. All this changes after chapter 10, from here the issues escalated too much. We're talking about the consumption of illicit substances, terrorism, discrimination, marginalization, dictatorships and political persecution in African territories. Very advanced for its time if you ask me. The characters evolve quite well, you can see a real growth within the protagonist. It's a shame that all the development was done by Mars himself and the secondary characters are a bit relegated in most of the chapters. At the end of the day, it's clear that it's an anime aimed at a children's audience. It's just that the anime prefers to speak to children face to face instead of treating them as if they were stupid. It explains topics that even for an adult would be difficult to process and that it does so in such a digestible way is what makes its script so good.
