| Emotional ending but I'm really happy to finally able to watch this animated. Another great series from Naoki. Just hoping we get 20th century boys anime someday. |
 |
| despite being my least favorite work of urasawa, glad it got this kinda treatment. solid visuals and osts were nice as well. just wish gesicht and helen got to spend more time together. the fights kinda bored me but most of it was interesting. 8/10 for me which is the same rating i gave the manga because the experience was pretty much the same for me. just gotta start praying for 20th century boys to get an anime someday now. also, netflix being netflix with the batch release but as always, i would've preferred an hour weekly. |
 |
| Pretty good series, all in all. |
| Really good. The wait did not disappoint. Monster is still far better imo though. 8/10. |

| Definitely a pleasure seeing this get a proper anime after all these years While I don't think it's quite on the level of 20th Century Boys it's nevertheless classic Urasawa Naoki writing excellence throughout |
  |
| it is finally over. And it was amazing. I needed to revisit some of the later parts of the manga to make sure. But they swap some of the events to makes more sense and a better build up. In special the last scene with the stupid teddy bear. At least for me the anime did a better job explain all the twists, exposition, characters motivations and Gesicht as overall. I will score this more than the manga, i feel they put a lot of effort into this adaptation. Voice acting and ost our masterpiece. |

| 8/10 Great direction and story overall. Osts, art quality and animation are also good. Shame fights were very one-sided and almost non-existent "covered" by fog, clouds etc. Still Monster is better than this imo. |
| as someone who has not read pluto nor know much about astro boy (aside from looking at wiki later on in the show), it was enjoyable ride. Animation did this story wonders. I enjoyed the characters backgrounds and how they were living their lives but this last ep was a doozy. I knew the U.S. was the real baddies in this all but i was trying to figure out who this new teddy bear ai came in from. |

What a f'ing cringefest. Really? You had to go with the hyper cliche overused "FRIENDSHIP AND HEARTS FOREVER" bs? It has never been good and it will never be good. The 70s called. They want their plot back.
I know you started threatening it in episode 5... and then 6... and then you were like "we're really going to do it in 7" and I'm like "don't you dare!" and you f'ing did it. You pulled the trigger. I can't even finish this show. f me you completely ruined it. I'm pretty sure your target audience isn't 9-year olds. Why do this? :|
Also the entire final episode was a trainwreck. It was incredibly rushed because I guess there weren't anymore episodes to do this all in. 50% exposition dump.
Man was enjoying the show but this episode completely ruined it for me. Jeezes. Every kind of bad I hate were present in this show from the tired "look at me I'm the final boss fight" to the bs "let's unite our hearts" to the exposition dumps.. it's like an anime that doesn't know how to end and has a terrible final 3 episodes. Plus all of the pointless side characters that didn't make a whole lot of sense. I guess that's a throwback to Astro Boy and I guess it wasn't "modernized" for a "modern" audience but at the same time the target audience between Astro Boy and this were different... and by different I don't mean the era, I mean the "age" of the audience.

| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| "Will there be a day when there is no more hate?" unfortunately not, Atom. What a spectacular anime, an incredible story with very well done production, a very melancholic happy ending. despite being a reimagination, it maintains the essence of the original work, a robot with a heart bigger than that of a human being! one of, if not the best anime of 2023! 10/10 |

| @nestharus You're making Atom cry by proving there will always be hate in the world. |
| If there's no Mickey, this shit ain't Disney. |
| I really enjoyed watching this series but some part are really confusing. 8/10 |
I still can't believe that Ochanomisu told Tenma to touch grass. |

| That was a perfect adaptation of the manga. The ending sequence was animated beautifully. If I had to choose, I think I prefer this anime to the manga and the manga was already in my Top 20. A masterpiece that I will come back to again. 20th Century Boys next please :) |
 |
| its more clear in the anime that gesicht killed the criminal because it killed his robot child but he knows hate only results to more hate the cycle of hate might never end but with robots and people like uran and atom that have enough empathy it might be manage somehow rip pluto or sahad you become a hero in the end evolution of artificial intelligence needs negative emotions like hate too for emotional intelligence for sure they even have symbolism about america vs middle east in the story and an evil artificial intelligence that wants human extinction and is the mastermind of all this i also like the plot about memory erasures of traumatic memories |
| Nice final episode, wrapping up the whole plot in style and emotions. Poor Sahad... But at least he could find peace and save everyone in the end, using Pluto's power as he wanted to, not as his father's hatred guided it. Very good show. I'm glad I decided to give it a chance. Truly a solid piece of anime. |
| From noir thriller seinen to battle shounen real quick. Im gonna pretend that this anime has 7 eps and the villain won |
 |
| The wait was well worth it. Anime of the year tier for me. The traditional and solid storytelling here is refreshing af in 2023. Netflix did put out some great stuff lately. Would love to see more classics getting an anime adaptation in the future. |

| @Daniel_Dreiberg Well it's based off an arc from Astro Boy, which is a shounen. Atom/Astro is the og protagonist.  |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| 10/10 AOTY right here |
 |
| I loved the storytelling in most of Pluto. It felt like it emulated the best parts of Monster with its introduction of mysteries and slowly building suspense throughout the first few episodes. Though as much as I enjoyed the presentation, I thought the plot itself jumped the shark around Ep 6. At that point, my interest and excitement for this show fell off a cliff. The way the main plot was resolved felt cliche to the point of cheesiness. I don't think the production team could have fixed the ending unless they got greenlit to make this show 10-12 episodes instead of 8. Aside from the weirdness of the plot which wasn't on them, this was a solid technical adaptation. And besides, it was still a treat to see Naoki Urasawa's work in anime form again regardless of the fact that I didn't like the ending. The beginning of the show especially came very close to putting me into that eerie headspace that Monster did. |
 |
| Im kinda disappointed with how anti-climatic Atom vs Pluto was. There was so much build-up for it but it failed to create the slightest bit of tension due to how fast and generic it was. The series overall was amazing tho. |
 |
| best ONA i've seen in a while 9.5/10, Atom going Astro boy is pretty cool |
 |
| gesicht can be revive if atom wants too since he has all the memories of gesicht anyway and if the idea that what makes a person is all their memories but then some people say that the personality is what makes a person more so gesicht personality is dead for sure |
| Hour long episodes are hard to sit through for me, but other than that it was the aoty for me. |
| My favorite episode was definitely ep 1 with Noth o2 the best character was detective Gesicht the plot was good Atom played a huge role he carried out everyone’s hope great series |
 |
| Pretty good title both in magnificent visuals and some pretty good writing (most of the time). But it still bugs me in plenty of key points that do become plotholes when you give some thought about it. * Why does Gesicht's wife has his memory chip and hands it to Tenma, when his own government always thought of him as a invaluable investment, it's something they should have kept in for future research. * Gesicht, the sharpest most powerful robot in the world, is killed off by a broken orphan robot with a gun. * Pluto smashed all of his robot adversaries into pieces, but he left Atom untouched after he fell into coma. * Out of all the world-wide agents that could become befitting bodyguard for Adolf, Gesicht the most current powerful robot is the one asigned to him. * Epsilon's love for his children should have earned him the victory over Pluto. * Brau's role as a crippled wise murdering robot feels awfully contrived, and him escaping from prison to kill off evil AI Teddy Bear is just bollocks. I'll still give it an 8.5 because it goes beyond other thriller/action shows. |
