Just based on some observations while talking with other fans there is a delightful variation and I am curious what the distribution might be like.

Pluto vol/ep 8 ramble…discuss thing

spoilers!

This is not a big deal by any means, it’s just something I noticed while watching this episode and thought was interesting! This is more of a craft thing / subjective comment. As you know, the adaptation is pretty faithful to the manga down to reproducing panels almost exactly at some points. There are some (really) subtle differences when this happens though, and these stood out to me a bit more than others due to them being in important scenes. It’s the two hugs between Atom and Dr. Ochanomizu, and Atom and Helena:

I love Urasawa’s acting strength in his drawings and was really looking forward to the last episode especially because of that! But I was a little sad that these poses were altered slightly…I adored how in the original Atom reached up to meet Ochanomizu, and also is leaning so far forward he’s falling into him 😭 The backstory of how the two of them are even associated with each other is left out of Pluto (I sometimes wonder if people who only read Pluto have questions about that lol) but I can just feel the weight of their relationship in that moment, and I think the removal of those small details in the anime undermined it slightly. Atom ends up looking more similar in both shots in the anime, despite his relationship with Helena being very different— he literally is meeting her for the first time here! (But he still ends up standing farther away from her in the anime than the manga, to the point of being a bit awkward).

I also have some gripes with the anime version of the snail scene in general but I’ll save that for another day… let me know if you’re interested in that I guess? (And also just to re-iterate, I do know that I’m splitting hairs. It’s just my over-analysis getting the best of me… and hey for animators, the small details matter!)

Watching Ochanomizu tell Tenma to go outside and touch grass is kind of like watching the mathletes captain who got called a gay sissy by his fellow mathletes for making friendship bracelets for everyone and drawing unicorns and rainbows in the corner of his homework slam a metal cafeteria tray into the face of the first and only person to ever get kicked out of the school robotics club for being unbearably pretentious and superior and for derailing every robotics meet by engineering the situation and messing with everyone else’s work so that all the robots instead began performing scenes from Hamlet and suddenly gritting and falling apart to illustrate their internal turmoil and dramatic moments of insanity. Do you get me?

Someone asked for Dr. Tenma as borzoi and I got a little too carried away with it.

Ochan warm-ups

the right doodle is him listening to city pop cuz he would totally listen to that genre of music

[lesbian-honey-lemon]

are we surprised that we’re writing about Astro Boy now?

Anyhow, here’s a oneshot where Atom finally gets the comfort he deserves (after some hurt of course)

No relationships because that’s fucking disgusting he’s literally nine years old. I’m aware the title sucks, I couldn’t think of anything. This is why Other Worlds Than These’s title and chapter titles are borrowed from Starset.
