They announced a Pluto anime years ago. They've been completely silent since that announcement, but I have faith it will appear someday.

I mean, Pluto is short compared to 20th Century Boys, Monster, Billy Bat, and Master Keaton, but it's generally one of the ones folks know if they know Urasawa at all. It's not Naruto or One Piece, but it's also not, like, some one shot that ran once in a contest magazine and has never been reprinted

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
They should make a movie out of the kaiju story in his Sneeze anthology

drat I hadn't even seen or heard about this, apparently Urasawa said he was working on "some anime" late last year according to a few news sites?? hoping he's talking about that

Trying not to get too excited because I was hoping for a while we'd see more Vampire Hunter D and well...

It's planned for a trilogy but there's no telling how long it will be till the next one. Part 1 was already delayed for a year due to covid.

It did the impossible, it made me like Jet Jaguar. I don't understand how the "make Jet Jaguar invincible" thing worked, but I feel like it would make sense if someone explained it so that's good enough for me.

Godzilla Zero Point was a frustrating watch because I immediately got the premise and where it was going, but as the show goes along it just keeps getting even more convoluted. Really feels like they should've shown more and told less.

Still good though.

spoilers here but

the Mc is doing kind of a ff9 Zidane thing and trying to go it alone to a super unhealthy level and everyone else showed up to give their friendship speeches and beat some sense into him. the resident pervert said he “fell for him” because he still fought even when he was scared as hell.

Man, Iron Blooded Orphans is infuriatingly dumb. I'm about halfway through season 2 and I think I'm done.

Hello mutinous child soldier war orphans! Would you like to accompany me on a noble mission to something something Martian Independence? No, no, don't worry about the material conditions that resulted in you becoming child soldiers in the first place. As slaves and kids forcibly coerced into a PMC who now control all of it's resources, surely you'd want to keep on being loving soldiers and not literally ANYTHING ELSE. Why don't you hurl your bodies at some plot relevant problems for a while, get very sad about the body count, but don't you dare stop! Here, as a reward, have (one) means of production. Now you're part of the system, so you'd better maintain it! Speaking of, wanna be loving kings? Just gotta play along with the internal politics of the inexplicably bourgeoisie blue-blood space fascists!

The most annoying thing is that the idea that there are other options than being mercenaries is kind of addressed, then immediately disregarded when the one character with that point of view bites it. Orga is a poor-man's version of Griffith, with none of the self-awareness that he could stop the mountain of corpses under his feet from getting taller any time he wanted. I get that that's kind of the point of Season 2, but he's so goddamned thick about it.

I am not entirely surprised that child soldiers who have spent most of their life fighting and not very much of it dealing with underworld politics do not end up doing very well when thrust into the limelight. Orga's drinking deep from the sunk-cost fallacy bowl and got suckered in by McGillis, but I can see why a literal child can easily be caught in the mire and can't find a way out even if it does seem obvious from the outside.

I get that season 2 is supposed to be about the downfall of Tekkadan through ambition, but I wish it had been handled with a little more care. Orga feels like he's just railroaded without much agency.

Opportunities are always presented to Orga and he always jumps at them, but there's never a point where anyone puts forth an alternative. It's frustrating because there's a good half dozen characters who actually have that viewpoint, but never bring it up.

I just wish there were more times where Orga's decisions were presented as decisions, rather than just the next plot beat. A few more people saying 'woah hold up, why are we signing on to fight and die for this? Could we... not? Is that an option?'

As an aside the thing that got under my skin the most was early in season 2 when they routed ALL communication between the Earth/Mars branches through one single rear end in a top hat they just hired who they completely failed to vet.
