Pluto
Plot Summary: Quote:
So apparently, the manga "Pluto" is getting an anime adaptation according to a poster at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France. Pretty interesting considering that fans of the manga always hoped to see one. Source: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-new...-adapt-en-anim

Holy shit! Never thought this would be animated, read the manga about 6 months ago, loved it. Especially since the Astro Boy arc it's based on was a fav of mine when I was young, but even discounted that it was fantastic.
Hope it's done justice. |

Pluto is so good. So, so fucking good. If Maruyama is behind it, I trust it won't be screwed up.

Maruyama had said it needed 39 eps, and he's right. So unless these 8 eps are really, really long, it's going to require serious cuts.
But, any Pluto anime is a good thing, and I really want Maruyama to live to see this happen. I'll take what I can get.

Edit: found an interview with Maruyama where he talks about Pluto adaptation, says he would do it in 8 hour long episodes. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/conv...2012/otakon/11 |

Still - the whole point is, Maruyama has always contended that getting funding for a proper adaptation of such an non-commercial source in the modern climate would be next to impossible. So if he's lowering his sights a bit in order to get this done while he's still around to shepherd it through, how can one be anything but admiring? This is a great man, one of anime's staunchest defenders of ambition and artistic integrity. He deserves to see Pluto happen, even if it's an abridged version.
