What I love too is that Gesicht's nightmares weren't about killing Adolf's brother - they were about when he adopted his kid. What his mind was trying to remember wasn't the loss and the hatred - it was the love. That was the part that was worth remembering and that a part of him was fighting to get back
Another small detail that makes Brau’s actions at the end even better is that he mentioned in an earlier episode that if the spear is removed from his chest he will die. And what does he use to destroy the super computer? The spear. He gave his own life to stop it.
It's so nice that we got an adaptation of an Urasawa work with great production value throughout the entire show and all completely succinct without any pacing issues, but man I'm still sad that it's already over.
There's no way a production committee would fund it. 20th century boys would take at least 75-100 episodes to properly adapt. There's just no way. It's too big a bite for anime producers
Something they changed that made me a bit annoyed was that in the manga, The president outright stated that the motivation to invade Persia was because he felt intimidated by Persia's Robot Revolution and advancement in that field and chose to thwart them. Here in the anime, it's more of a vague "I want to keep my country safe" thing
they tried to get around this i believe in episode 1 or 2, where its stated the United States of Thracia lacked in robot development compared to the rest of the world.
Thank you for reacting to this total masterpiece and recognizing how incredible the whole story is. I know this anime is gonna fit right up your alleys seeing that you guys always have great discussions when it comes to analysis, breakdown, and coming up with theories and this really makes you think deeply. I love y'all were able to detect and understand every details in the show and be in tune with its emotional depth just as I did (at least you weren't bawling and sobbing continuously as I did almost every episode because of the heart-wrenching moments 😭💔). P in Pluto is Peak indeed!! 💯💥😍🤩💓💖
i just realize atom crushing the snail is himself trying to stop himself from crushing it. Tenma greatest and masterpiece. its understandable why tenma cried again.
I really liked your reaction series, Pluto is one of my favourite manga and it gives a lot to think about so I liked that you put a lot of thought into your discussions. Even the Astro Boy arc it's based off, childish as it may be, is pretty interesting as a quasi-commentary on Cold War geopolitics (the robots are mostly nuclear-powered and can be fighters or peaceful, it's up to humans to decide if they want to use them to be the strongest in a destructive struggle or work towards building a better world), which Urasawa readapted to modern times, with new themes and more character depth. They're both those kind of stories where each time I look at them I see something new in them, and you were pretty good at picking a lot of themes up. If you're curious about seeing it, I'd say Astro Boy's manga is more what Pluto is based off of because the TV adaptations cut things or try to work it into a bigger series storyline like 2003's adaptation (the manga was kind of standalone). It's really interesting how Urasawa could read so much into characters with rater simple motives and who only lived for a few pages and flesh them out further, or out read something of a single panel you might not think much about otherwise. One thing you noticed is how a lot of character designs and names are reused from Monster (some I think just look similar, but others are undeniable). I think this itself was a nod to Osamu Tezuka, who liked to reuse his characters in different roles like that, called the "Tezuka star system," he'd joke that it was like having actors play different roles in films. There's quite a few references to other Tezuka series throughout Pluto, like Black Jack, Phoenix, Adolf, and maybe others like Jungle Emperor Leo aka Kimba the White Lion (though I think that's a bit of a stretch), not to mention other Astro Boy stories. The man wrote a ton throughout his life and a lot of it is still being released in English.
Headcanon for Pluto crying: Sahad would have originally had the mechanical capacity to cry as a human-appearing robot. Sahad in Pluto is, not to put to fine a point on it, Going Through It. Some sub-subroutine of Sahad's personality identifies 'I need to cry now'. Initiates [Cry -> Fluid release from ocular sensors, mimic irregular breath, deprioritize all processing other than emotional/social] sub sub subroutine which finds no built-in fluid release in the head area, performs a workaround where some head/neck/jaw hydraulics purge fluids from the eyes, and also holds off the self-repair routine. Sahad/Pluto, along with all the emotional processing of hatred and all that has a minor [diagnostics: cause of hydraulic leakage?! Cause of slow self-repair?! Cause of combat deprioritization?! What is 'cry'?!] loop to distract and derail any remaining subroutines not yet fully under control by Sahad. Combat functions shut down, Sahad gains complete self-control. Commence star-gazing.
My personal head canon. Tenma warns his fellow scientists that something terrible will happen when robots can experience hatred, sorrow, fear and all the less noble emotions. Taking inspiration from Tenma, perhaps Goji designed Pluto's body to be capable of expressing all sorts of negative emotions, in order to encourage Sahad to lash out and become a killer.
@@the_markoman atom being the masterpiece of tenma creation that he learned from his AI Abdullah. beautiful, learning the cause and added another. Loves, Yearn, Hope.
It seemed a little bit rushed and there was too much info it was kinda all over the place. I think the death of gesicht kinda killed the vibe. It was still a coherent and good ending tho
MAJOR SPOILERS for Pluto: I think the reason Atom said Gesicht and Pluto are the same is that Atom felt hatred from Pluto, and the only other robot he felt hatred from is Gesicht when he exchanged memory chips with him in episode 2. Atom probably felt hatred from the Gesicht's memory, where Gesicht killed his child's murderer. This also explains why Atom went to the bathroom and cried in episode 2, since he saw that Gesicht lost his child.
If you guys would want to personally experience the Astroboy story, i would recomend the 2003 Astroboy adaptation, it's not only faithful in many aspects, but it also adds A LOT of original stuff that is not present in the main manga, while being a more series take on the series. The manga is great too, of course.
Just make sure to watch it in the Japanese release order. The US unfortunately broadcasted the episodes slightly out of order, but it's otherwise a great adaptation.
One of my favorite parts about seeing your reactions is how you don't let the scene or characters be done talking before theorycrafting what it means. I love you guys but you gotta let a scene land first, lord almighty.
@uurjitdebbbaasu7314 did I say a poll against Pluto? Nope. Try again bozo 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I said spy x family season 2 should replace this aka be their next reaction 😂

What his mind was trying to remember wasn't the loss and the hatred - it was the love. That was the part that was worth remembering and that a part of him was fighting to get back
hatred has no purpose
Another small detail that makes Brau’s actions at the end even better is that he mentioned in an earlier episode that if the spear is removed from his chest he will die. And what does he use to destroy the super computer? The spear. He gave his own life to stop it.
Ohh, I knew the spear was significant, I'd forgotten that was why. Damn. Thanks for pointing that out!
But advanced artifical intelligence can lie.
@@jamekinro2850 not advanced, the “perfect” AI. Or so they say at least.
I am still amaze of how Brau can drag or crawl himself out from European prison to USA (I mean Thracia)
well maybe Thracia is just next to Germany
isn't him *in* thracia tho? that's how i always understood it
Hands down, most underrated anime of 2023.
It's so nice that we got an adaptation of an Urasawa work with great production value throughout the entire show and all completely succinct without any pacing issues, but man I'm still sad that it's already over.
Now all we need is that 20th Century Boy adaptation and all will be right with the world
There's no way a production committee would fund it. 20th century boys would take at least 75-100 episodes to properly adapt. There's just no way. It's too big a bite for anime producers
And vagabond too maybe someday cuz the manga is nothing less than a masterpiece
We can only dream
@@tengenforger4944Certainly wasn't a problem for Monster or many other shows
A Twentieth Century Boys anime adaptation is so desperately needed, especially seeing how well Monster and Pluto have been adapted.
Something they changed that made me a bit annoyed was that in the manga, The president outright stated that the motivation to invade Persia was because he felt intimidated by Persia's Robot Revolution and advancement in that field and chose to thwart them.
Here in the anime, it's more of a vague "I want to keep my country safe" thing
seeing that it was funded by netflix, they def interfered to make that censorship, also seeing how little they promoted it on their site
they tried to get around this i believe in episode 1 or 2, where its stated the United States of Thracia lacked in robot development compared to the rest of the world.

You can directly watch the 'Greatest robot on earth' two episode arc from the 1980s Astro Boy which inspired the entirety of Pluto.
i just realize atom crushing the snail is himself trying to stop himself from crushing it. Tenma greatest and masterpiece. its understandable why tenma cried again.
The 2003 Astro Boy/Mighty Atom Anime is something to look into if this series got you interested in the franchise

Phenomenal story.
Hope more people react to it eventually. ❤️

Gesicht Broke Asimovs Laws Robotics. Its scary, but utterly beautiful at the same time.
R.I.P. Pluto 😢 I mean… Sahad
how deeply can one hate, if they have never loved?
Anime of 2023
There is so much people whos hatin on n this episode
And i dont know why
It was so beautiful
It seemed a little bit rushed and there was too much info it was kinda all over the place. I think the death of gesicht kinda killed the vibe. It was still a coherent and good ending tho

It's been a while... but as I remember it the Greatest Robot on Earth/Pluto story arc was almost completly changed for the 2003 anime.
@@Painocus Oh really? i never actually checked the whole manga but i heard there were only a few differences. Guess i'll check it out.
Amazing series. Thank you for the reactions!
Great reaction to an amazing anime, I loved it.

Great, now you can tackle the other great 8 episode netflix show from last year.
