Pluto, the new series on Netflix, is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed manga of the same name by Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki. The series is based on an arc in Osamu Tezuka‘s classic manga Astro Boy, but is a standalone story that can be enjoyed by viewers new to the franchise.
“Pluto” brings us back to the purest tradition of Japanese anime in the subgenre that perhaps has brought it more success: the futuristic dystopia.
Here we have a story that explores the coexistence between humans and robots, who start getting murdered.
Welcome to this dark world of detectives and robots, creators, and above all, many secrets to unveil.
Eight episodes to discover the universe of Naoki Urasawa and the already legendary Osamu Tezuka if you haven’t already.
Welcome to the world of Astro Boy.
Plot
Pluto is set in a future where robots live and work alongside humans.

While Konami seems to have been hogging all of the animated Netflix video game adaptations lately, Capcom has countered with a new trailer for Onimusha, which is set to start streaming on November 2. Set to “The Loneliest” by Måneskin, the trailer doesn’t get into the demon-slaying that the video games are known for just yet, but that’s quickly rectified.
Unlike the Castlevania Netflix adaptations, Onimusha instead utilizes 3D animation with a cel-shaded art style from animation studio Sublimation and director Shinya Sugai, whose work includes the CG anime adaptation of another Capcom property, Dragon’s Dogma.
Directed by Takashi Miike and featuring the voice talents of Akio Otsuka, Toshihiko Seki, Hochu Otsuka, Daiki Yamashita, Subaru Kimura and Katsuyuki Konishi, Onimusha will focus on Miyamoto Musashi, who is modeled after Japanese film icon Toshiro Mifune.
Set in the early Edo Period, a time when Japan was transitioning towards peace, and warfare was fading into history,...

“Pet Shop of Horrors” was released in the distant 1999 and is based on the horror manga of the same name by Matsuri Akino. The series consists of only four episodes and can be characterized as a very special work. Directed by Toshio Hirata and produced by the legendary Madhouse Studio, it raised a lot of expectations. But allow me to elaborate before I reveal if it worth the hype or not.
The story revolves around Count D., an enigmatic man who happens to be the owner of an unusual pet shop. His store, located in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles, specializes in trading rare and hard-to-find pets. For their sale, it is required to sign a contract, the terms of which are required to be observed, otherwise, the consequences will be… unpredictable.
The scenario of “Pet Shop of Horror”s sounds – and actually is – quite interesting.

Stars: Kôichi Yamadera, Emi Shinohara, Takeshi Aono, Daisuke Gôri, Toshihiko Seki, Shûichirô Moriyama | Written and Directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri
I’m not a typical anime fan, I’ve not seen that many films and series but what I have seen I love. From Akira to Death Note, when I watch them they make me want to watch more, and to have time to put into what I know could easily become an obsession. This is why when I have the chance to review some I snap it up as quickly as I can. Ninja Scroll turns out to be one of these chances and I was lucky with this one. Written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Ninja Scroll is seen (along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell) as being one of the big titles that opened up western eyes to the world of anime, and how lucky...
