Netflix surprises anime fans when it drops a 4-minute long preview of Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki&#039;s Pluto.

Watch: Netflix Drops the Teaser for &#8216;Pluto&#8217;, Marking Yet Another Anime Adaptation for the Streamer

For years, rumors floated around the internet that a Pluto animation was
happening. In 2017, the GENCO booth disclosed that an adaptation was in the
works. But there were no new updates after that about when the said project
would reach the viewers. Fans had lost hope until Netflix suddenly dropped a
sneak peek at the adaptation recently. 

The latest teaser gives a little glimpse into what the fans can expect from the
adaptation.


NETFLIX INTRODUCES A 4-MINUTE SILENT TEASER FOR PLUTO 

The manga tells the story of a futuristic world where humanoids exist together
with humans. But a serial murderer is targeting the seven greatest robots in the
world. Europol’s best detective Gesicht is appointed to solve the case, who is
also one of the targets. The preview shows Gesicht behind the wheels of the car,
driving to an underdeveloped place. We are also treated to a bunch of flashbacks
from his past. But then the scene cuts to him entering an abandoned building and
fighting with a robot insect. Gesicht escapes through a sewer, but in the sewer,
a massive horned robot is hot in his heels. 



Before we see what happens to him, the scene turns black. And then we meet our
favorite characters, Atom and his sister, Uran. The preview stops there and
confirms that the series will hit the steamer this year. Anime News Network

that Genco and Tezuka Productions are jointly producing the series while M2’s
Masao Maruyama is overseeing the animation. The confirmed cast includes Shinshu
Fuji, Yoko Hikasa, and Minori Suzuki.

The series is based on Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki’s manga of the same
name. The manga actually builds on The Greatest Robot On Earth arc from Osamu
Tezuka’s Astro Boy. The seinen drama was hugely popular and ran from 2003 to
2009. It was published in multiple countries. Given its immense popularity, it
will be interesting to see what Netflix does with the adaptation.

Meanwhile, the streamer is dealing with yet another adaptation that could prove
to be a great risk.


NETFLIX IS TACKLING ANOTHER BIG IP

The streamer has recently taken on big risks. Apart from the Pluto adaptation,
the streamer is also producing Avatar: The Last Airbender and One Piece
live-action remakes. 

Despite the utter failure that was Cowboy Bebop, the digital platform is
hellbent on working with established anime titles. That said, it did offer
something fresh and original with The Dog and The Boy. But the series has come
under fire for its use of AI.
