holyshit. i thought mushoku tensei and chainsaw man marked how the best of high budget anime tv series can look, but this shit was on a whole other level.

it looks as good as idk, arcane? or high budget anime films.

if monter with only ok visuals is already one of the best anime ever made, this might very well be the actual best thing ever.

i've read 1 chapter of the manga, and if nothing else the writing is as good, if not better than monster.

best case cenario, anime of the decade is an understatment.

Mate hold your horses there. The trailer looked good but it was not on Arcane's level. Also we still have to see how the final product will look. We don't know weather it will be able to maintain good animation throughout.

Anyways I am excited for this show as well. Manga readers praise this manga a lot. It's considered one of Urasawa's best. I am pretty sure that the show will be decently written considering the high amount of praise the manga receives. Let's wait and see weather this show lives upto the reputation of the manga.

In my opinion, Pluto is great but it's not as excellent as Monster.

well, arcane is 3d, so obviously the still shots of the characters can't look as good here in 2d.

but the backgrounds are up there. and the 2d animation is absolutely great.

comparing it to arcane can never work purely because one is 3d with 2 elements, and the other is 2d with 3d elements.

but i think this as good of a 2d animation as arcane is good 3d... if that makes sense.

In my opinion 20th Century boys is better than monster and Pluto though I'm still in the chapter 174 and i might change my opinion based on the ending but for the moment I like 20th century boys more than these two.

I think it will be better than monster. First of all it's animation is top tier and I heard it have a solid ending unlike Monster. I don't like Monster's ending to be honest.

This is my favourite manga so I honestly can't wait, I just hope Netflix give it a full 24 episode order and not the usual 6 episode series they've been doing lately. This series deserves a full adaptation with room to breath.

Lmao chill homie, yes animation looks good with PV but we are yet to see it how it goes, also monster was panel by panel copy so its essentially like reading manga. 
Monster is magnum opus of urasawa and nothing come close to it not even pluto, 20th Century boys comes after Monster and you should read that too.

Pluto is good but saying anime of the decade is like setting yourself for disappointment. Wait till you see how it unfolds. 

However I am happy that its finally getting released after 5-6 years of announcement but don't hype it too much.
2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year.

How have u read one chapter and think it’s written better then monster? What a stupid thing to say. I love the manga. It’s my second fav, of this authors work, I consider it a masterpiece, and wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking it’s better then monster, but to only read 1 chapter and think that. Bruh 💀

I think jojo fans got no issue with the anime as that's david productions, the only gripe we had is the release schedule because of that the hype is killed and nothing else. As most of us wanted the weekly release but not a batch release. In terms of animation it is pretty good. So netflix still is only part of streaming rights. Hopefully they don't get the SBR rights.

Arcane was always going to be a hit. Far bigger than any animated production on Netflix that isn't named Bojack Horseman. It just looked like Netflix didn't give a shit about Jojo. No promotional videos, no posts on social media, no hype. I haven't watched Cyberpunk, Devilman crybaby or Castlevania.

I don't get the big deal about hype tbh, I was always gonna watch jojos in a batch regardless of how it was released. Urasawa's works don't work with a weekly format either imo

just so you're aware, the ending is different if you read the perfect editions over the original. I recommend reading both.

I've watched Monster, read 20thCB and Pluto, Monster is still on top in terms of characters, I liked both 20thCB and Monster stories the same, Pluto is behind them in terms of everything imo (still literally peak fiction)

Still can't wait for the adaptation because Urasawa is the goat, if this succeeds and we get something like 20thCB anime adaptation I can die peacefully, it has a lot of volumes so It's gonna be hard for a studio to pick something like that up and adapt it

Btw agree about the anime of the decade thing, there are a few mangas that can come close to Pluto that can be adapted, if of course Pluto gets good adaptation like Monster, maybe they fuck him up like Berserk movies or smth

I didn't like Monster's ending (at first) but it's nowhere near as bad as Pluto's
I haven't read it yet but one of my friend did and according to him Pluto have a solid ending. I will take his words not yours sorry 🤪

Try not to cream your pants over a trailer LMAO. I've never heard of this studio tho. Would've never expected any of Urasawa's works to be set in this futuristic setting with robots and shit.

From the Urasawa works i read i would go 20thCB > Monster > Pluto.

Not saying Pluto is bad, because it is not. But it is based in one arc of Astro Boy lore and it will not feel a complete story.
I believe the anime will be great based on the last trailer.

@ZXEAN (No spoilers) Nah. To me, MONSTER's ending is perfect(but takes proper analysis and understanding of the story's themes and characters), but PLUTO's just feels rushed. PLUTO is amazing, but the last episode(last ~7-ish chapters) will probably drag it down IMO.

Pluto is pretty great but honestly of the Urasawa works from monster to Billy Bat its largely my least favorite of the 4. I'm wondering if my opinion will change watching but I have a distinct memory of the last few volumes being kind of underwhelming as it starts to be more and more reliant on following the original narrative and a bit of the mystique wears off in the process, and cause of its shorter lengths it doesn't have as wide a net to fall back on to counteract that which billy bat and 20th CB had despite them also having semi underwhelming finales as well.

Still great though, Urasawa's character writing is outstanding its just not as strong here as in other works

It annoys me that people will decide something is good before watching it. This anime has only been out a day and already has twice the votes of Phoenix.
