As if Astro Boy wasn’t dark enough with his whole origin being a robot based off a scientist’s tragically deceased son 😭 but as an Astro Boy fan since childhood, I’ll check it out!
I read the original Astro Boy manga arc as a teen and to this day I love the story. I just watched the Pluto Netflix anime and I was blown away and cried so many times. Urusawa especially deserves credit for worldbuilding, storytelling and character depth by making Gesicht so amazingly tragic and relatable considering the original manga only had him alive for like 6 manga pages lol.
Wait really 😂?? I was so shook at his death in episode 6, having already spent nearly 5 hours with his character in the show. Can’t wait to read the manga
I love how world building was used in Pluto. One part of it that's really interesting for me is that the Central Asian War was depicted similar to how the War on Terror started.
The second episode with no.2 and the musician was one of the most emotional episodes in anime I've ever scene. It was a perfect tragedy of a character going against their base nature and trying to grow and develope only to have the cruelly of that world snuff it out. The musician crying at the end perfectly drew the viewer into the emotional Rollercoaster that they were witnessing.
I LOVE when I see people covering stories such as Pluto. Im a massive Astro Boy fan and by extension Pluto has become one of my all time favourite mangas for it’s darker twist and deeper themes regarding Tezuka’s original work. You’ve done such an amazing job on this video and I LOVE seeing how much thought and effort you’ve put into this. Great work !! Thank you for the lovely vid
I'm sorry but Pluto doesnt have a deeper theme or even darker than its original work. All the theme and meaning that Pluto conveys are already in Astro Boy! Naoki himself said that Astro Boy is in fact a more darker version despite the majority of readers think the opposite
@@dingdongchingchong2957They look at Tezuka's art and underestimate him, if they took the best panels of his manga, they would see that at that time he was already dethroned.
This is coming from someone who read Astro Boy BEFORE Pluto, but Pluto is genuinely one of the best mangas out there. I was always on the edge on my seat to see how Urasawa remixes and retells the events of The Greatest Robot on Earth. It always lead me guessing what's gonna happen next, I love when stories do that. It's ironic too since I already know what's gonna happen in Pluto but I still was wondering how it was gonna turn out in the end. Great video and analysis, this and Astro Boy needs more love in the states.
I think everyone should look at Pluto, who is a fan of manga and anime. The story of Pluto is more relevant today than it was when it was initially released, and I’m not just speaking about the AI portions of the manga, but also the war aspect of it as well. It felt very VERY close to home.
One scene I like from the manga was one of seven greatest robots telling the other about seeing a robot washing its hands continuously after a battle in the war as if trying to wash away the blood which there were none as the enemy was also robot.
This video is incredibly well-made, i was shocked when i saw it only had 900 views. wow, this video is criminally underrated this deserves a couple hundred thousand views at least in my opinion. great vid dude, i absolutely love Pluto and all of Urasawa's works.
I've been meaning to read Pluto for so long, it was on the MAL manga suggestion panel ages ago for me and caught my eye, but I just kept pushing off reading it. Maybe this is a sign that I should finally read it lol. Great video!
This manga kinda feels like the manga version of Arkham Asylum a serious place on a serious in the semse that it takes a typically light hearted and cartoonish world and twists it into horror hyper-reality
Having to think robots have emotions in mangas, tv series/movies and video games make me love to see this in real life sometimes. I mean, thinking of the idea that a machine can think and react in their own way, it both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
Boys, the anime is finally here That aside, I think I can't say anything about Pluto better myself. Even better, I discovered new things about Pluto from your video essay. Amazing work! Subscribed and liked 👍👍👍
Any anime that gets the Netflix label will never be available on DVD in the U.S.. That happened to Sailor Moon Eternal. Japanese anime studios somehow failed to understand that anime fans buy and collect hard copies. Fans do not subscribe to Netflix since any content can be censored at any time, and you can never collect digital content to store nor sell.
Urasawa sensei is a legend and one of the greatest Mangaka, I am currently reading 20th Century Boys , 150+ chapters in and it's already in my Top 10 mangas
I just watched the Netflix series, wondering if there was a continuation of it because it was an amazing story, darker than I expected and I still feel there's more to the ASTRO Boy that could be updated and rebooted. I remember watching ASTRO boy as a kid and glad they are giving him some love nowadays. I can't wait for more. Maybe there's more older manga and anime that could use a refresher.
The original story is really good so I’m very excited to see the Pluto anime. I am assuming that both the 1980 and 2003 anime’s adapted Tezuka’s idea of mounting tension in the human/robot relationship, which is done decently well in both series but never fully realized. It is a clever way to allude to racial discrimination though. The 1980 series has the tenuous relationship play a part in some of the stories, like Frankenstein, The Death Balloon and most notably, the Atlas episodes, but never has it come to a proper conclusion. The 2003 series does have it come to a conclusion but it is far too short for what has been built up over the course of the series. It sounds as though the Pluto manga at least touches on this subject if not explores it outright.
What I love about Pluto is that it doesn't add anything NEW to Astro Boy it just focuses on the things that were already there. All the themes and concepts that Pluto explores are the same ones that the original Astro boy explores.
Another great one~ You'd really like Jin Roh; I know I know, I've said this before. But if you like deep stories such as Pluto, Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade is a MUST watch.
Astro Boy was sad af. I just finished Pluto, as bleak as it was the ending was satisfying. I read Astro Boy in middle school and I still can find time or space to read it.
And people say that dragon Ball is the father of anime sure maybe of shounen anime but not of anime in general that goes to Astro boy dragon balls gotten so popular that people seem to forget that the first anime was Astro boy and it doesn't get as much credit as Dragonball does I really don't even see many people talking about it anymore but that's just me.
I've got more than I expected, After watching your video on how Pluto reflects the mirror on, how we humans will treat robots if they have existed in our world. I really appreciate both osamu tezuka for astro boy, naoki urusawa for Pluto, and you, for this great explanation. This is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. +(I'm moving forward to read Pluto )
The Strongest Robot arc in Tetsuwan Atom manga is one of the darkest arc, in my opinion. Even darker than Nuka's death and Naoki Urasawa made my favorite arc even more darker and deep. Btw, for Pluto manga, Naoki Urasawa used a similar technique to Tezuka's Star System. 1. Epsilon is Johann Liebert 2. Uran / Zoran is Yawara from Yawara A Fashionable Judo Girl in her children year 3. Dr Abullah / Bora is Roberto / Adolf Reinhart 4. Gesicht is basically Inspector Lunge 5. Principal Ban is Doctor Reichwein 6. Atom is basically Kenji Endo when he is still a child. Anyone who recognized more, please reply this
Is this basically Naoki Urasawa trying to warn our future events or something Why do I have a feeling that its kind of a reflection of what we are facing today...
Pluto is just brilliantly written creates suspense plot mystery conflicts in first episode itself All deaths are just brutal, what it means to be alive, death , ur motive, hate, life everything such dark complex divided ideas still dealt with such perfection Yes story is slow complex, extremely complex n hard to digest but still keeps u awake at night Ghetsis story is just devastating Damn is this a great show
It is hard to ignore the significant parallels of the Japanese soldiers who fought for Japan Those especially who witness, forced, or actively to participated in atrocities in in Asia Those silent witnesses are like "the 7 heroes"
I am enjoying every ounce of this anime Pluto and i will do it slowly, like a slow pill. Cause i think pluto deserve a slow watch and my complete attention till the very end!
There’s an Astro Boy chapter where it turns out robots took over the earth and only raised humans to slaughter and kill each other in arenas. I forgot what it’s called because it’s been years, but I remember one of the twists being the kid was responsible for his bestfriend dying as a child, so she was replaced with a robot. When her “mom” was out trying to bury the human body he shot her and it started the whole plot. Edit: Astro Boy Vol.22 Chapter 82 : The End Of Astro Boy
Great work! I had never read the manga but recently watched the anime adaptation on Netflix and was blown away. Now I must read the manga. Have you watched it and if so, do you think it's a good adaptation? I think it captures all the themes you mentioned.
Dark reimagining? Nah, Astroboy was always pretty dark. The first chapter starts off with a child being killed and that being used as Astro Boy's origin.
I KNOW PERFECTION AND FOLLOW MY PROGRAMMING, GIVING ME A CONSCIENCE, FORGIVING ALL WHO HAVE DONE EVIL TO ME FOR MY GOD AVENGES ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We hope there will be new remake 'Astro Boy' animation by the production of Walt Disney Animation Studio in the far future since the 2030s or 2040s. Astro Boy series truly looks like and might fit to Walt Disney Animation.
I do not understand the love people have for Pluto at all. It was dull as hell, none of the themes or characters were thought provoking and the lack of action made the tedious 10 hours worth of series a real drag. It's hard enough for me to invest in robot characters without making them all bored depressives who mope around for 10 hours. It's a story about a robot smashing other robots, not bloody shawshank redemption.
This is what you get when you try to do Astro boy and you mixing it with some ghost in the shell but you’re keeping the philosophy and existential question of what makes life and generates a soul with child like mentality as every intelligent individual robot evolves its intelligence to gain a souland then it’s destroyed. Does this ask us the question? Do we know what intelligence is?

The anime was amazing
@@rajyavardhansingh4491 it was truly amazing
Literally peak
Very peak
Just watched and can confirm it was beautiful.
thing is, Astroboy was always Dark. Pluto just focused on it
I agree, beneath that cute and cuddly picture are stories about, death, prejudice, gore and racism.
As if Astro Boy wasn’t dark enough with his whole origin being a robot based off a scientist’s tragically deceased son 😭 but as an Astro Boy fan since childhood, I’ll check it out!
Atom's backstory is also same

In terms of writing Urasawa is my favourite mangaka. Next in line for you to read and review is Billy Bat
will do good sir
Where can I read that?
The world building, tension of the mystery and unravelling of story threads he does in his series makes me fall in love everytime.
@@TheANSONATOR Urasawa is just incredible
@@darthaust20 Any manga site in the net
If you read Metropolis from Osamu Tezuka, you can see how many themes addressed by Urasawa are actually expanded ideas from Tezuka.

Reminded me of macbeth
Props to Urasawa for making me bawl my eyes for cartoonish robot...

I liked the video, but I think it was already dark, Urasawa just reimagined it with its visuals and a narrative from another perspective.
“Let’s practice the piano, North Number 2” 🥲🥲🥲
an incredibly well-made video about my all-time favorite manga?! i excitedly await your next upload
much lovee
underrated video, im here after netflix's sneak peak for pluto finally dropped :D
I wouldn't consider it to be a dark take on Astro Boy because Tezuka's work is already dark. But otherwise good video.

Pluto does more on the genre when addressing the themes of humanity better than Detroit became human ever did
The greatest manga I have ever read
