This past week and a half has literally just been me @ me like "Maybe if you sit down and watch Pluto for a while you'll calm down."

#i talk #I'm watching Pluto #havent been liveblogging it because I am THAT invested #and emotionally distraught #episode 1 (or was it 2?) still made me cry the hardest #I'm not ready for this show to be over man #I need the catharsis #<- I realize the irony in this statement considering how soul-crushing this show has been #Lad's having a rough one #<- I also acknowledged the irony in this statement giving that ya boi has been going through it for the last 7 - 8 years #it ebbs and flows but it be hitting like a tsunami right now #sighs #I'm tired. I'm really tired

if you'd like a good adult cartoon still piping hot and fresh and worth every minute of your time and every frame it inhabits then go watch scavenger's reign

#sporadic warbling #i dont overtly recc things often but definitely check that out #(if you can handle body horror. though i'm guessing if you follow me ad my art you can stomach it)#although there is one death that is like. so fucking brutal and out of nowhere towards the end even i was taken off guard #understand how bad a character has to get it for me to cover my mouth while watching and go DUDE--!#i'll go in depth about SR later bc i really did like it A Lot it is VERY me-core but with a much warmer color palette #watched Pluto recently too that was also p good

I'm not done with the Pluto Anime yet (one episode left), but I just have to say—the director seems to have a problem with suspense and pacing.

Take the first episode for example, when Gesicht is running after a criminal. Very early on in the scene, the anime shows his hand turn into a gun, alerting the audience that he's either a cyborg or a robot. When he corners the criminal at the very end of the scene and tells him, "I'm a robot", it's very much a "well yeah, no shit Sherlock" moment of confirmation.

Compare this to the manga, which doesn't show Gesicht's hand turning into a gun. Instead, it plays with angles so that it merely looks like Gesicht is holding a gun.

The manga keeps doing that until the very end, until the moment Gesicht announces he's a robot, at which point his gun-hand is revealed front and center.

A more egregious example, in my opinion, is how the anime reveals Adolf being in an Anti-Robot Organization. Let's first cover how the manga does it:

The chapter begins showing a regular morning in Adolf's home. His son, Hans, gets mad at their robot maid and insults her; Adolf quickly brings that to a halt, admonishing his behavior.

Consequently, our first impression of Adolf is that he seems like a decent person.

The chapter continues, showing Adolf drive to work, collect his brother's body, and have dinner with his wife. There's the mystery of what his brother did and what happened to his body, but otherwise there's still no hint of anything untoward about Adolf himself. Even while having dinner with his wife, he warns her that her comments about robots can be considered discrimination.

It isn't until the end of the chapter that we have the reveal:

Meanwhile, the anime starts off in a similar way, showing Adolf eating breakfast with his family, but this time Hans gets angry at his mother instead of their robot maid, because whoops—they don't have one. Hans whines, asking why he's the only one in his class who doesn't have a robot maid. Adolf tells him that his mother's doing his best.

Then, LITERALLY IN THE VERY NEXT SCENE, as Adolf drives to work, they show him CALLING THE BOSS OF THE ANTI-ROBOT ORG, and with basically no suspense or buildup, just casually reveal that he's part of it.

Like??? What a waste. What an absolute waste of the delicious buildup Urasawa literally served to you on a silver platter.

EXAMPLE NUMBER THREE (yes I'm not done yet) — when Dr. Ochanomizu welcomes the Robot Dog's Owner into his house, the manga initially presents the owner as just a regular looking dude. By showing his face and his open expression, he comes across as non-threatening. (Also note the composition of the panel on the bottom-right corner of the page: the owner is positioned lower than Ochanomizu and looks smaller due to the chosen angle. This also makes him seem subservient and less powerful).

It isn't until the next page that the tension starts to build and we realize there's something off about this dude.

But in the anime, they just signal to the audience that this guy is suspicious from the very beginning... by not showing his face.

Like... come on... you don't have to spoon-feed us like this.

finished pluto in a span of two days and here are my thoughts:

first off, this is an extremely polished and well-made adaptation – urasawa was clearly consulted throughout the production process

the landscapes – of the city, the countryside, the war – are beautifully drawn. the blending of cgi and traditional elements were also done fantastically

i will say, however, that there were scenes with hercules in episode 2 that look over-rendered; given his pale colour palette, the added exposure didn't come off well on screen

the voice acting is wonderfully – no surprise, given the line-up of seiyuu in the japanese dub. hikasa yoko did a splendid job as atom, and i was quite partial towards miki shinichiro as the painter robot (for the short time he was onscreen, rip)

the "bohemian song" sung by north and sir duncan was gorgeous

as for the plot, i think we could've spent a bit more time on dr roosevelt (the teddy bear) and thracia's part in the war – it's relevant political commentary for current events, though i'm sure the team did not expect it when they decided on the release date

lastly, as someone who went into this show completely blind, the unfolding of the story was very satisfying. i'm familiar with naoki urasawa's writing, so i kinda knew what to expect, but i was blown away by its depth and narrative implications anyway. the blurring of lines between robots and humans, the recurring themes of memory and trauma, the consequences of war and conflict, and in turn, their effect on extremist ideology and the perpetuation of violence – these were all handled respectfully and with a lot of tact.

#to think i started watching this show wondering if gesicht had a vibrating penis!#epsilon and hoffman and hercules hanging out together def made me think 'alphabet squad'#this is also the second anime i've seen this year of miyano mamoru in a sweet pretty boy role; the first being arikoto in ooku #and i think i'm slowly starting to see the hype for him (besides his better known psychotic roles)#pluto anime #pluto manga #naoki urasawa #naoki urasawa's pluto
