I was already in “mode”me quito Netflix” for this latest movement of the platform which amends shared accounts and suddenly netflixhitting a good smack on the table presents me with a glimpse of ‘Pluto‘; the manga reading anime series that I enjoyed the most.
Set in futuristic Germany, Pluto features robot cop Gesicht, tasked with investigating bizarre murders that upend law enforcement around the world. The killer seems to be tracking down the world’s most famous robots and attacking some scientists internationally, but the weird thing is that it looks like the perpetrator could also be a robot, despite the fact that according to the laws of robotics, these cannot harm humans.
Pluto is a tribute to Astro Boy, of the considered manga god Osamu Tezuka, taking his idea and creating his own version of the story. One of Naoki Urasawa’s best reads (besides just eight volumes) that will now become a Netflix mega-hit.
The anime series fell into the hands of the recent StudioM2, founded in 2016 and with a short list of productions under its belt; but the trailer (which isn’t a trailer ‘per se’, but a few sequences without sound effects or voices with background music) seems to show that the studio has struck the perfect balance between comics in a traditional and the three regulatory rules. dimensional digital participation, which gives so much play today.
In short, what has been said; if we leave Netflix angry at the price increases, we’ll have to come back with our tails between our legs at some point because this series looks great.
