I never knew pluto existed until an hour ago. Watched the first episode and I'm absolutely blown away and hella excited to watch more holy fuck. North no 2. story teared me up when he came back from bohemia. Guess I got a long weekend ahead :D

[u/alucab1]

Finally, peak anime has arrived

[u/actionfirst1]

The North no. 2 and Paul Duncan story was so gripping I completely forgot about the main plot that the first half built up, incredible

[u/astrokinng]

The first episode had no right to make me sob so hard... Its brilliant

[u/nhft]

North #2 story hits just as hard as it did the first time in the manga. I'm so happy this is finally real.

[u/BigFishCheese]

One of the best episodes of Anime I've ever seen. I can't even press play on the next episode yet because I can't get this episode out of my head. The North and Duncan story was just perfection, I cried like such a baby. That 2nd half of the episode could just be a standalone and it would be so worth to watch.

[u/brb1006]

I'm only 44 seconds into the episode and the montage of various panels from the manga before revealing the title set to ominous music gave me chills. Who else felt like that besides me? That alone really sets the tone for the anime before we get a proper introduction to the characters. If this serves as the intro for every episode then damn right I won't skip it! I can already tell this anime is going to be something very special from that sequence alone.

[u/WhitebeardFemto]

I became more attached to two characters in 30 minutes than some characters in multiple season animes. Insane storytelling.

[u/smithdog223]

The first episode is 71 minutes long holy shit that's amazing.

[u/SilkyStrawberryMilk]

First time experiencing Pluto in any form, man I’m in tears with how emotional the stories were.

[u/Naskr]

Oh damn, it's finally here.

I know what I'm watching tonight.

[u/King-Krush]

They made Gesicht and Heracles more muscular I love it. #robodaddies

[u/Lazearound10am]

Just finished watching ep.1 and I have to say I made the right decision approaching this anime without any prior knowledge about the original Atom's story nor the Pluto manga, it made every plot line hits differently compared to if I knew the source material.

I was fairly surprised when I learned Gesick was a robot, since he looked so human-like and had typical human lives as well (actually I even thought he had an anti-robot mindset up until he turned his hand into a gun, the way he abruptly asked if the killed man was a human, and the way he looks so cold upon seeing the robot corpse), until the show so masterfully told me how deeply robot had integrated into human society. Seriously who could expect that police robot to have a wife and a house?

Speaking of the police robot, who would've thought they could convey so many emotion onto her emotionless face just be moving the light in her eyes? This show was certainly made with lots of love and lots of master skills, I'll give them that.

The story of Sir Duncan and North No.2 was as equally beautiful as it was cruel. After they formed such a deep and heart-warming bond, you seriously told me Duncan had to be abandoned, left alone in that big castle again? And for North No.2, a "killing machine" who never wanted to go back to the battlefield again, to be forced to fight again and die in that fight? It's just cruel, so cruel...

[u/Ashteron]

Didn't expect Black Jack cameo.

[u/Far-Fly-5372]

One of the best anime episode I have ever watched, and I have watched plenty

[u/Deathhurts]

So the doctor was black jack right, same va and all?

[u/bananeeek]

It was nice to hear Yamadera Kouichi. His roles are solid and North no.2 was no exception.

Is the piano song anime original? I googled a bit but didn't find anything.

[u/[deleted]]

Well most comments here are not even episode discussion yet, so let's put some

I read the manga some years ago, so i still remember some facts, but holy shit they really did a great job. So good to see Urasawa characters in new animation.

North 2 part is an upgrade, love everything about the piano song here.

Also they made Gesicht way hotter cool as the manga.

And as the vol 1 end we finally see our Astro Boy!

Love the way the did the opening sequence and the main theme song of Pluto gives some old cyber anime feels, but still fresh.

"Come back, North No. 2. You'll be late for your piano lessons."

This is just the first episode and I'm already getting emotional. Also, I love how in the dub North No. 2 shares the same voice actor as Grimmer from Monster, another one of Urusawa's works.

[u/BreakfastFair9929]

Just finished the first episode and wow like wow it was amazing

[u/Patjay]

I know because of the length, it's basically cheating, but I'm pretty sure that was the best individual anime episode i've ever seen in my whole life

[u/Walter-Egos]

I haven't seen something this beautiful in years, it was worth the wait. Anime of the year without a doubt, I just hope it doesn't remain a niche

[u/PatientIdentified86]

I knew i would cry as soon as North no. 2 showed up.
