"
My Life as a Teenage Robot is a legendary anime made by Rob Renzetti about a teenaged robot superhero, her friends, and her attempts at a normal human life in the face of multiple planetary threats. Mlaatr has a prominent character voiced by Eartha Kitt and uses the art deco style, reminiscent of the '20s. Each episode is actually split into two smaller episodes so we are actually getting four :bko-joy:

content warnings:
Battle for Moscow:
- Depictions of violence but no blood/gore
- War
- Nazis and nazi imagery
- Gun violence
- Death
Despite being a war movie, there does not appear to be any blood or gore. It's also on youtube without an age gate so it's most likely pretty safe.
Mlaatr:
- Depictions of bugs
- The protagonist prefers a different name to the one given to her by her mom in the first episode, however both are used throughout the show by different characters. Her given name is generally used in a more formal manner by authority figures and her preferred one more casually by her peers. She responds to both and after the first episode generally seems to not be bothered by it.
- Jokes about weight
- Explosions
- Cartoon violence, primarily involving robots and alien monsters.
- The protagonist regularly loses limbs but she is a robot
- The protagonist practically dies or experiences a near death experience in one episode.
Unlike anime from Japan, there isn't really anything excessively grotesque nor is there a theme of :tony-disappointed2: moments.
