It's a bit sad that Pluto isn't doing as many waves as I'd hoped it would, but I'm so happy Netflix gave the green light for this show. Seeing Astro boy in a Naoki Urasawa artstyle and mystery setting was genius.
Bro, it is getting buzz and hype from the anime/manga community 💯.
Yeah, I just don't get the lack of interest in the West
That doesn’t mean much they literally Watch anything. Netflix won’t green light his other stuff since Pluto flipped comertially. @@Z3ROMyth
All the big reaction CZcamsrs ain’t taking one peak at Pluto, smh my head.
Because it isn't a typical shonen 😊simple
Went into this blind not knowing anything about the manga and the just finished watching all the episodes. Every single episode had such emotional depth and passionate storytelling. Nothing but chills.
Pretty great wasn’t it? 😢
@@creedecriswell634Yes 😭
@@Mori I’m never going to see a piano the same way again.
Oh shit its Mori.
Definitely nudged its way into my top 5 fiction of all time
100% agree. I believed that Pluto anime adaptation even existing would be a miracle, yet we got this incredubly high quality. Damn I am way too happy for this shit.
I got one question I loved monster the anime. OK so do I directly watch the pluto anime or do I read the manga 1st? In monster's anime they copied the manga panel by panel. Is it the same for Pluto's anime? Or does the anime skip somethings from the manga?
@@arnavpandey5386 Yeah, no need to read the manga. No main point in the plot was lost and technically the adaptation is incredible.
@@user-bp2oe3jo8l but were some minor things cut out?
@@user-bp2oe3jo8lis Pluto anime complete. Or will we get s2
@@arnavpandey5386The anime is a direct upgrade. The sounds really add to it
Cool Fact - the piano melody that we hear in the anime from the North Nr.2 arc came from none other than Naoki Urusawa himself! He already had a melody in his mind when he was drawing the manga panels back then. When it came time to make the anime, he was approached about the song that plays in the arc. Right there he pitched his melody and it was later developed into a full song for the anime. Love to see this level of collaboration. God this anime is so special :’)
didn't he also composed Bob Lennon too in 20th CB? He did the stage play complete with acoustic guitar and kenji's likeness it is up on youtube too
Source?
@@samborghini84 Happy to provide the source - it came from studio M2's twitter post on October 26 2023 👍
He’s SO TALENTED
Yeah this is top notch dude. Like historic top 5 in terms of quality, but a sleeper in terms of marketing.
I cried at North n2 story in manga... But in anime..... Wow
This series had 5-6 years of development, and people thought that it was canceled a year ago, only for Maruyama to say that it was still in development at the time. They took their time with this and it paid off.
It did payed off, animation is very movie-like
100%, animation was crazy in this one
@@cps1247
@@cps1247 the fact that each episodes are at least around an hour too
Pluto was given a truly excellent adaptation. Everything was top notch: the animation, the voice acting, presentation, score, pacing, EVERYTHING. I had the pleasure of reading Pluto earlier this year, and it quickly became one of my favorite series because of the conflicts, character dynamics, themes, and mystery, and now being able to see it animated was an absolute joy.
Seeing how my buddies react to the twists and turns have been fun for me as well 😂 it’s either third or second favorite anime of the year, it’s competition for me being between Bleach and Vinland Saga 👍
I honestly didn't expect less when I saw that Masao Maruyama was the head of this project.
@@arnavpandey5386 going off my memory, I’m more than sure Pluto was one to one as well. The only real difference that was obvious to me was the ending, which was kinda abrupt in the manga, and for as much as I adore this manga, it was my one and only flaw against the series. In the anime however, they do add one extra little, what I like to call, a Shakespearean ending, in which some of the main cast gathers at the end and reflect on the events of the story, and what it all meant. Tbh, I preferred the anime’s ending.
Never seen the Monster anime tho, only read the manga 3 times, I should watch it at some point 💀
the dub for pluto had a perfect casting especialy for Geistch
Fact urasawa always kill it with some good written characters
Sungwon was amazing too
I just finished this anime today and I gotta say, this anime is *CRIMINALLY* underrated. I really love the complexity of each character, especially the robots. Despite being hollow machines, they are evolving in their own way and becoming like their creators: Man. They're incorporating their complexity of emotions and their humanity, and it's executed so well in the show.
Everything about Astroboy is underrated. A true classic character
Not underrated, just not enough people know of it. Most people who end up watching the show love it.
@bearonvacation551 that's literally what underrated means, goofy
I'd say more under-advertised.
As a fan of monster or 20th century boy I have to admit I’ve never read Pluto. However after watching this anime I’m shocked that no one has told me about it. This anime is a goddamn masterpiece. It’s gotta be up there in the top 5 anime of all time. It’s really that fucking good. I’m utterly shocked how good this anime is.
Same I've only watched it and honestly it's amazing

Top 5 all time is pretty nuts, but top lists are all subjective so i get it.

Monster

Pluto
The Horizon
Vinland Saga
Berserk
Attack on Titan
GTO
Slam Dunk
Parasyte or Death Note (Depending on the day)
This anime has been the passion project of masao muryama for nearly the last decade. It's great to see how well they adapted everything. I've been slowly watching the episodes just to savor it all bit more. It really brings you back to a different era of anime production. And the manga was already such a classic based on a classic. It s a real prestige title
Pluto was nothing sort but a absolute creative and amazing animation about Robots and humans, Hatred, Forgiveness, Indifference, and much more.
I couldn't explain you how I felt without having to have a full on conversation, this is one of those series where you can feel humanity through the robots and people alike, please do watch if you haven't!
I just finished and had to see someone gush over it. Each episode animated so beautifully and gesichts/epsilon both broke my heart
hopefully this will bring more people to get into Urasawa’s stories
Fax, need them all adapted in this amazing 2D animation with the a proper budget, staff, and time 💯. I know good 3D CGI anime exist out there, just saying.
I need Billy bat so much 😭
I hope they make an anime adaptation of 20th Century Boys.
Urasawa sensei is already massively popular lol
@@artophile7777 but only in terms of the manga community, and even then its something yu hear about once youre deeper in the medium due to most of his top works' age.
Anime wise? Only monster and thats like 2 decades old
What the series does really well is never showing Pluto in it's entirety. Pluto is always hidden in a typhoon and we only see shadows, silhouettes and sometimes bits of its body and the only time we do see him was at the very end of the series when it's finally revealed who and what Pluto really is. It's very similar to movies like Jaws (1975), Predator (1987), Alien (1979) and The Thing (1982) where they never flat out show the actual creature in order to create suspense and tension throughout the movie.
Some may be disappointed that we don't see the fights itself but it doesn't need to and that's exactly what makes Pluto such a compelling thriller. This is basic writing advice that most monster movies fail to understand. It's the ticking clock that makes people nervous and keeps them at the edge not the actual bomb.
10/10 anime. Tezuka's worlds are so iconic and interesting and Urasawa explores overlooked themes perfectly. Makes me want to finally get around to other Urasawa work like 20th century boys or his newest one and rewatch stuff like cyborg 009 or the astro boy anime.
I think a strong part that helps is that there is tons of carry over on this team from the ppl that worked om Monster(director, chief animation director/character designer, producers, & MANY ep director/storyborders.
I just finished watching PLUTO and it was truly amazing. it is a shame no one in the community talking about this masterpiece 😢
This was never short of a masterpiece. Netflix did justice to one of my favourite manga. This year was amazing for anime. Vinldand saga, pluto, heavenly delusions, oshi no ko, and many more.
A couple of years ago as a teen I stumbled on Pluto on a manga website after looking for Atom: the Beginning and read the segment of North #2. It made a lasting impression on me to this day but at the time due to my A.D.D. I completely forgot about it. When I saw the trailer for the Netflix series coming out the memories of North #2 and the Old Musician came back in an instant and I knew I had to watch it. I loved every minute of it.
Hopefully one day we will get an anime adaptation for 20th century boy 😭. Pluto was amazing
Hopefully its by the same studio and 1 for 1.
Billy bat too😭
thats a dream come true
😢
Pluto is one of those anime that I jumped in once released but is taking me so long to watch mainly because I don’t want it to end.
Pluto was perfect like I never felt like skipping a Second..The dialogues , animation ost all were all perfect
genuinely blown away by this adaptation, read pluto over the summer and im so so happy this is as good as it was! Also, huge shoutout to the english dub for the quality of actors across the board, keith david as tenma and mike pollock as ochanomizu in particular, chef's kiss!
My exposure to astroboy was the 2003 series and i only remembered pluto being that massive battle seeking robot.
Seeing something like this show come from that is honestly amazing and surprising
As an Astro Boy fan I am so so grateful for this anime 😭 It was amazing
i thought it was a coincidence at first 😂
@@symannieeld.1015omg me too! 😂 I was like damn he looks just like astro boy wtf
I read the first 10 chapters after seeing your video on it and was completely blown away, but when I saw the First Look they released a at the time, I decided that I wanted to experience the rest of it as an anime and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Urasawa M2’s staff are absolute goats and I’m gonna go read the manga in full just to experience it all again.
Your channel woke me up to Urasawa's body of work, so I was looking forward to your review of the series. Glad you're so enthralled with it too!
7:56 his name is Gesicht (German : Face) but you pronounce it as Geist (German : Ghost)
I was completely sold at the introduction and development of North No. 2's storyline. That was a masterful segment of storytelling, and triggered a lot of emotions.
I found the pacing dragged a little towards the penultimate episodes. However, the final episode tied all elements together and I felt rewarded for paying attention.
A great production, that inspired me to do research into the lore.
I’m a huge fan of Monster and Pluto and loved this adaption so much as well!! So happy we got this after so many years ❤ I cried so damn many times!! T T When the old man said “come home, it’s time for piano practice” I lost it. What happened to Gesicht’s baby robot, little Ali, Upsilon, Mont Blanc, Robby the policeman robot and his wife… I was just bawling non stop. Sensei truly is the greatest storyteller.
I read Billy Bat at the start of this year and was about to read Pluto right after. But I'm glad that I waited for the anime.
Never read Pluto, but i have read and love Monster and 20th century boys. This anime was superb, was crying by the end. My only complaint would be about the teddy bear, it left me confused.
I think there were some small scenes about the bear in the manga that were cut in the anime though a lot of it was still left kind of ambiguous.
I just finished the anime and holy damn it's so good, the story keeps you constantly on the edge and the mystery and buildup are so incredible. the music was also great and the animation was holy
Great video, my friend! Regarding your question about the pronunciation of the protagonist's name: "Gesicht" is the German word for "face". You pronounce it more like “Geist,” the German word for “ghost” or “soul.” You could try it like this:
"gazict"
came here to say this
Also means face in dutch too. Honestly a really fitting name for a detective
Wow couldn't have a better pitch than that lmao and I haven't even watched the first episode yet but I loved the story Urasawa put in his way through the manga
The Germand
dub for this anime is also done super well. Couldn't imagine watching it in an other way. Just the Voice of Gesicht fits him soooo good and everyone else too. Just all around a masterpiece
Having no exposure to astro boy growing up (except the hollywood disaster of a movie which i totally loved as a kid) i went i blind with little to no knowledge of the story except that it had the same author as Monster. It was a slow burn sometimes, same with Monster but man, what a rollercoaster of emotions. Netflix deserves a huge W for this production and hope they do more adaptations of classics. Certainly hope they remake Monster which easily cracks my top 10 all time.
I remember trying not to cry in the library when I read North No.2 part. Actually most parts of the story. It was the first manga to really move me multiple times and I am glad it finally got adapted!!
I just finished the series and as someone who is unaware of what happens in the Astro Boy series, I went in blind and became amused at how I figured out that the characters felt familiar enough that I recognized it came from Astro Boy and Monster. I especially love Brau as a character because his voice and demeanor made me so curious about who he is, whats his backstory and how he came to be. Only wished they they expounded on him more cuz he was so interesting.
Its interesting that all themes presented in PLUTO has always been part of ASTRO BOY (ATOM)
-huma-robots coexistence
-discrimination
-desire to accomplish perfection
Just in more kid friendly way
Couldn't agree more Studio M2 has done a fantastic job
Went into this blind and not knowing the manga as well. I love something that is unique to it is that background unnamed characters are pretty much a character as well. That bodyguard with Epsilon isn't just any grunts that are incompetent if they're not the main characters. And everyone in every scene feels like they have a place in the story and feels really human.
The first few chapters with north number 2 in the first episode was such a good choice, I won’t lie I cried something about old people and robots
Just finished it omgggg it’s a great anime! Every part from the voice acting too the way the mystery was brought too light .. just wow
I was very anxious so it was good to see how faithful to the manga this anime was being
I just binge-watched the entire show all in one day, and..I gotta say, words cannot describe just how much I love this.
Exactly.
Just finished watching pluto for the second time. Man this anime was fkn amazing I have never been so on the edge of my seat and literally gasping as with this anime. I can't believe I cried over a robot dog! I have been telling everyone to watch this anime I'm not a major watcher of anime but damn this has to be the best anime I have ever watched. My first watch through I binged it in 1 night like you said I HAD to watch the next one
Never heard of Pluto before a week ago when it came out in Netflix and dang, it’s definitely top 3. Going straight to the manga to read it!
it's really fun to see you so excited😁
Binged it so quickly and immediately want to rewatch! The art, the characters, the music I can keep going. Sheeeesh
I finished 20th century boy a few months ago and still in recent memory too 10 favorite stories I’ve read I would love for this to bring that to life
10K for this video in twelve hours, why are more Pluto videos not getting more views like this?? I absolutely loved this series. I think it’s absolutely phenomenal. Urasawa gave new life to one of Tezuka’s best stories and expanded on it without losing some of the themes that Tezuka had in Astro Boy. I ended up really liking Epsilon in this series and he’s third favourite after Atom and Gesicht. In episode 7 or 8, it was so shocking to me to hear Atom say “Don’t piss me off.” A couple of scenes were quite scary, like the anger in Gesicht’s face as he kills Adolf’s brother and Atom’s thousand yard stare after waking up from his coma. I don’t think the anime did a very good job at explaining who and what the fuck the teddy bear is, which is called Roosevelt.
7:58 no, you are not saying it right. It’s Ge-si-cht.
Lack of exposure, blame Netflix. I mean they just showed like 2 trailers and that's it no additional hype or promo, given the production of Pluto took almost 10 years.
From beginning to end, Pluto completely captivated me , with its exceptional writing above all else , each character has such pathos and drive, the animation was cinematic, the SCORE omg the music is chefs kiss
My only complaint is that the North no. 2 scene was SOO good that the rest almost couldn’t live up to that beautiful moment.
Bro I was so happy with this adaptation 😭. So many touchy moments, so many deep moments, pretty much all of the magic of the manga was captured.❤
I went in blind with this one. I’ve been desperately trying to find a deeply thought-provoking and more thematically weighted anime to watch since that’s what i was introduced to by my cousin. I’m just starting out my anime journey at this point. I found some animes that just felt dull, but I gave this one a watch since Netflix said it’s based on Astro boy, and I absolutely loved the 2007 movie as a kid. So I thought ok, just one episode. Ended up watching the whole thing in one sitting. I couldn’t get enough of all the emotionally charged stories that were being introduced then developed in the first few episodes. This made my day and I’m so excited to let the series marinate then rewatch it when the time is right to pick up on the many things I probably missed. This is definitely the type of content I love watching above all else, and I would love any recommendations from anyone who reads this, especially if you are into this style of story telling and thematic exploration.
We need an adaptation of Billy Bat done like this
So true, Billy bat is maybe my favorite urasawa manga.
I don't think it will slide in America sadly
@@xord6286LMAOO so true
This anime was my first time experiencing Pluto and it was absolutely incredible, the North No.2 episode was genuinely one of the best things I have ever experienced. Watched Monster for the first time directly after finishing Pluto and loved it just as much if not more than Pluto. Going to read 20th Century boys next and i know it won't disappoint.
20th Century Boys is my favorite Urasawa story. Have fun!
Don't forget about Billy Bat. It's just as good as the others, if not better
@@joaooooooooooo_ I’ll check it out after 20th Century Boys!
Love it so far, watching it with my dad rn and theyve adapted it beautifully so far.
I loved the background sets depicting the European architectural style
Best piece of media I saw this year.
Finished this 2 nights ago. It was my first experience with this story. I was blown away.
This video convinced me to buy every vol of the manga. But I couldn’t wait for it and ended up watching the anime first, and I was not disappointed. It’s a beautiful story and really enjoyed how the it was presented. I can’t wait to experience the story again through the manga.
i wish more people would soon discover this anime on Netflix.
god damn, they gave North No.2 Grimmer's voice so yeah, i teared up reading the Manga but hearing his voice knowing his fate. damn
Pluto has one of the greatest DUB'S I have ever seen in my life. The voice acting is absolutely amazing and you can hear the passion that they put into it while recording the lines.
I think the same person who worked on monster worked on making pluto who said they wanted to really make another manga from urasawa
I’m glad this series got the love and care it truly deserved. No matter if only us few watch it. This is perfection.
It's such an amazing series, I was constantly on the edge of my seat and watching all the pieces fall into place was mesmerising. I do wish that it had garnered more attention, it would have made it more likely for more of Urasawa's works to be adapted in the same way. But one can hope
I just had one thought about this anime after I finished watching it.
My gripe is only the last episode which might be a problem with the original source material for me. It just feels like the last bit of the story ended it in a pretty meh way. I was expecting so much more considering every other episode and story point was soooo effective. If not for that this would have been for me the absolutely complete and the greatest series I had ever seen. The adaptation was just so impactful.
I read Pluto years ago, didn't remember much of the stories actually, and I'm glad for that.
It was so beautiful to watch.
Yo, just finished episode six Jesus Christ the feels man, but yeah, so far this has got to be one of my favorite animes of the year hands-down, the fact that people aren’t talking about it more is frankly startling and when I say one of the best animes of the year like easily top three this is coming from a guy who just finished the second part of thousand year blood war, and is currently watching jujutsu Kaisen so that should tell you all you need to know, but yeah, the characters the story, the development, the music, the atmosphere like I had a feeling this is going to be a special when the North number two episode had me in tears, like this is an excellent adaptation in the true sense of the word, can’t wait to finish it and just shout out to the voice acting though subway is fantastic but the dub hit different not gonna lie
That's it, you've convinced me, I'mma go watch it rn
12 days later. How was it ? To me, it truly is amazing. Masterfully done. Mastered and balanced all aspects of story telling.
Pluto anime was a great adaptation of the manga, and it really elevated the material for me. The 8 hours really let you sit with the characters and attach to them even more, making the moments when they go hit so much harder!
Pluto has been my 3rd favourite manga for a while now, but recently got pushed to 4 after I read Made In Abyss. But they did an amazing job with this anime, it’s a near perfect adaptation, you can follow along page for page, panel per panel with the manga, which I actually did for the first 2 episodes. Amazing work.
Pluto is the pinnacle of perfection.
I watched this show practically blind, and being a fan of Monster and 20th Century boys, I was excited. I did not expect something so emotionally resonant and powerful, wow.
I’ve never read any of his stuff but a few of them have been on my read list for a little bit
I need to watch this soon maybe it’ll get me to read his stuff sooner
holy shit this was amazing. before I cared to check this out I spoiled myself on some minor stuff. but even still I went into this mostly blind, and my god was this perfect. one of the few 11/10s I've ever experienced.
Such a great anime fr 🙌 i sat there and watch each and every episode even tho some of them was about an hour long.
Idk about anyone else but one thing that caught me off guard was the teddy bear robots voice being a kids. Tho i guess i should've seen that coming lol
God I was mesmerized by the writing of this show I loved every second of it.
I just finished watching this a few hours ago. A top notch emotional thrill ride.
I don't have Netflix but I am staying at a place that does next week and will definitely check this one out
Just finished watching it. I've only read Monster before ( loved it ) but I never really touched Urasawa's other works after it.
I definitely need to read 20th century boys now lol. This was absolutely amazing
Never heard of Pluto, but damn am I falling in love with it, and I’m only 3 episodes in.
I always thought Adapting Urasawa's mangas would be very risky as Not Every studio Can adapt his work, The Depth of thought given to his work Is Always surprisingly outwitting, Pluto was Amazingly Adapted The references from 20thcb, monsters Were very refreshing to watch. The complexity of the story was very well Driven to the ending I am Thankful They adapted it this way. I hope we get an adaptation of Billy bat, 20thcb and such in the near future. Thanks Naoki Urasawa and netflix for such a wonderful work.
I finished eps 1 before getting here. I'm very impressed
the moment I saw naoki's artstyle on netflix I knew how dark it was going to get I loved watching monster and I love how his stories and art really make the watcher/reader think and question about life itself
Need more hype, this is so underrated! Amazing story and animation. Great job Netflix!
The scenes with beau was absolutely incredible
North no.2's story with the old musician was already sad in manga. I didn't cry tho.
But damn anime literally made me cry buckets when that one song from his childhood started playing.
Masao Maruyama has been behind most of Naoki Urasawa anime works and Satoshi Kon's work, I hope he lives long enough to produce 20th century boys, him and Miyazaki are I'm really scared for they are at their age where I just don't know how long they can go on making these masterpieces
I don't know any other producer who would be this passionate about Urasawa's work as it's not "mainstream" as he is, i think he was also producer on Master Keaton(it was made by Madhouse I think) and Yawara series correct me if I'm wrong but he is definitely the main reason we have such great accurate adaptations one after another of Naoki Urasawa's work
From what i have seen of his Imdb he is a producer who clearly would like to make Money but he won't compromise an artists vision for it, I just saw a French documentary on Satoshi Kon where he was featured and he said I wanna be blunt we lost money on some films and he clearly wasn't happy about it or tried to brush it off as money doesn't matter but he also always supported Satoshi Kon's and other artists works, in his Imdb I'm surprised how many of them were either produced by him or he was a executive producer that I loved yes obviously he had a long career but man that's a great list of films he has his name attached to
Went into this blind and just finished the first episode. Good impression so far! I will definitely continue watching it in time
This is the only manga to anime adaptation where I read manga first, and felt it was a perfect one to one adaptation.
Just Today i finished watching Monster!! It's now left me in a depress state, I'm planning to watch pluto next.
Happy doesn’t even begin to transcribe the feeling I have. I truly believe we have witnessed one of, if not, the best adaption of a manga series ever. They did such a tremendous job : it’s vibrant, always moving and shifting unless it needs to be still, the pacing is perfect, the music strikes a core (especially in that North No.2 episode) and the story drives you over to keep on watching. It’s been a while since I finished the manga so it all felt so fresh to rediscover it in this new fresh form. I’m so happy for Urasawa-sensei to get a product of love out of one of his work and as a fan I am beyond delighted. Made me cry, made me laugh, made me smile, made me satisfied. 10/10 nuff said !
I just finished the first episode, so I'll come to this after I finish the whole show. I've read Urasawa's 20th and 21st Century Boys and remember liking it. There was a movie, but I never got to it. I tried to finish Monster, the anime, but never had the time. So this time, I can finally watch and finish an Urasawa work on screen. Maybe check the manga, also get back to his other works, manga and anime alike.
Characters like dr.tenma, abullah, pluto, and epsilon felt way more memorable to me in the anime which was a welcomed surprise
It was the first time my mom finished an anime in one day lol. Props to Netflix.
easily top 3 anime this year this adaptation has really made me into urasawa fan for sure
