LMAO at the people thinking Netflix = only CG.
I am so excited, it's been 6 years since it was announced and I have almost given up hope. Glad to see it's not a dead project. |

The studio has been Studio M2 since it was first announced, and their two other works aren't CGI so no need to get upset I feel like there's a certain amount of irony in Urasawa being so against digital versions of his manga for so long and then having an adaptation of his released streaming only |

A teaser video for this just dropped, and thankfully, the general animation style is 2D.

If the teaser, the promo shots from 2017 or 2019 show up, doesn´t prove how important heavy use of (great) CG is for genre fiction animation then I don´t know what will. An anime that looks just like Master Kearton or Monster wouldn't have done the manga justice. Those looked great of course. Masao Maruyama is going out on top. This is what passion looks like. The studio was founded to make this anime.

A bit too much CG for my tastes, but I love Urasawa (he made my favorite manga, 20th Century Boys), so I'll watch.

I really like how the 3D backgrounds are done, makes for some pretty dynamic shots.
Although what I do not like is that the composite is too overblown in a lot of shots, specially during the fight sequence. |

Wow I just watched the preview and, no lie, when spoiler[Gesicht saw Pluto] I said aloud, yet in a whisper, "Run." and started crying. Crying isn't unusual for me but even I'm surprised this made me THAT happy!

I'm glad to see Pluto finally coming out and I would much rather Netlflix be funding original anime projects like this instead of just licensing typical simulcast shows. I don't know much about the source material other than it's connections with Astro Boy but I was impressed by this trailer and I look forward to it.

I'm glad it's not 100% CG but the 3D backgrounds and other CG kind of take me out of it a little. But it still looks beautiful.

The boy in the raincoat looks cgi (or at the very least rotoscoped cg), it looks like they went for cgi which imitates 2d with 2d backgrounds. The people saying this would be CG got vindicated IMO.

I'm literally crying with joy right now
 Really, bless you , Netflix and, above anything else, bless you Masao Maruyama. This is truly the result of his passion and his drive and he's well over his 80's if I'm not mistaken...This is the day I've been eagerly waiting for more than 10 years since I became an anime fan after watching Monster and being left speechless.
Seriously, I. CAN'T . FREAKING. WAIT.

Looks pretty good to me, but I'm not a connoisseur like everyone claims to be.
Unless he meant latest work to be adapted to anime, that's an odd thing to say. Billy Bat, Asadora! and Mujirushi all came out after Pluto. |

Looks pretty good for the most part, it's certainly one of Netflixs better looking originals. The 2D and 3D do stand out a lot, almost like someone is putting a Cel over the screen.
