More Astro Boy ( I can't complain I mean we got Young Black Jack which was ok ) . Still I sort of which Pluto got the anime treatment as opposed to Atom : The Beginning, mainly since we need some more Urasawa greatness, either that or Billy Bat anime..........now !!!!!!!

I guess we can judge it even now. Season by season we get a lot of similar shit : ) What's more Tezuka was boring mangaka. He is only knows because he was drawing really long time ago.

Looks great, love a good slow burn science fiction tale. Especially with the trappings of The Mighty Atom tossed in. I'm all in.

If you haphazardly brand his entire library of output as 'boring', then there is no explaining to you the brilliance that was Osamu Tezuka, who's legacy and body of work will be remembered long after we are all dead.

He basically wrote the entire manual. Everything. Shounen, Shojo, sci-fi, historical, psychological, crime thrillers, horror. He defined the bench mark for quality, was a master to Urasawa and Ito, wrote several of the greatest manga ever penned like Astro Boy, Phoenix, Buddha, and Princess Knight. He was a master of atmosphere, pacing, characterization and draftsmanship. He was, in a nutshell, the forefather for EVERYTHING.

But I don't suppose it really matters to an internet troll who's entire output (yeah, I checked your post history, sad really) is criticizing things.

I'm not trolling. Tezuka is said to be god of manga but is he really that good? You said he treid every genre of manga but he was good at every genre, I doubt. He is well known only because he was doing manga when no one could compare to him in past. Nowadays he'd be decent mangaka.

You pointed Astro Boy, Phoenix, Buddha, and Princess Knight but these are boring mangas for kids. Plots are boring and just not good enough.

And that is why i'm saying that Atom the Beginning will be boring and unoriginal. You will see guys. But ok, hate me, say that I don't know anything. Live your life.

You sound very inexperienced with Tezuka, and manga in general.

Edit: What it actually sounds like is that you are hung up on the superficial, i.e. The Disney inspired cartooning that define's Tezuka's style.

Besides, this isn't an adaption of Tezuka's manga, but Kasahara Tetsuro's.
Which is definitely pretty action packed!
The anime staff also has some of the best names in the business; if Tatsuo Sato brings his A game there's few people better.

Here is my MU review and i expect this to be in my anime top 5 list of 2017:
Pluto is it you? 8,5/10
Masami Yuuki wrote the highly recommendable combo of Ja Ja Uma Grooming UP! (8,5/10) and more importantly Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor (8,5/10), which have similar slice of life roots. Kasahara´s comparable RideBack (9/10) is a quality tale too and both creators need more international love. It thus should come as no surprise that i can recommend Atom - The Beginning to basically anyone as Osamu´s creation is hugely important to the medium and the series is an official prequel overseen by his son. The art and especially designs are great, the story is intriguing from the start, and all the famous characters are also fun and intriguing in these vastly younger forms. The much darker re-imagining Pluto (10/10) lastly turned out to be a more similar tale than first expected, due to the increasing philosophical bend of this tale.

And gang, please don´t feed blatant trolls. Tezuka and overrated Confused ? He only gave this art form it´s... "form" and continued to bend genres till the end. Can someone finally remake Ode to Kirihito? Hello Mr. Urasawa.

This looks terrible, the art is far too Western looking, it can barely be classified as anime if you looked at the artstyle alone.
