Yes. The robot Bunny's parents were making also looked similar to Robbie the Robot from Forbidden Planet (as well as the toy robot the parents gave him that we saw earlier in the show). I think there were a lot of classic robot nods going on in this episode but these were two of the the bigger ones (Robbie and Metropolis (maybe the Tezuka version as well and the live action version). I also thought there was a lot of nods to Big O but that goes with the territory, seeing the director also worked on that show.
Yeah, it brought a tear to my eye
, so the director must be a softy for this sort of romantic sad ending as well.
