The series subject matter was more jovial than previous Astro Boy series, and each episode contained a positive message for children. As well, the antics of Hamegg and his cohorts are far more silly and lighthearted than the villains of previous Astro Boy series. The show received positive feedback in Nigeria, but was not aired anywhere else.
