Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 8 by Osamu Tezuka, Naoki Urasawa, Takashi Nagasaki
3.0
3.5 - three things:
• the consistent use of aliases (goji/abullah/bora, pluto/sahad) became increasingly annoying and occasionally confusing; pluto deserved more unique characterization (i.e. his human arc w/ uran) than the time squandered detailing abullah's escapades.
• tenma is terribly insufferable when it comes to his pretentious, forlorn musings about robotics and humanity.
• for the hatred motif to be so prominent, urasawa could have written a more thorough exploration of gesicht's hatred (presumably for humanity). for the series to abruptly pivot to the significantly less intresting character that is Atom, is unfortunate.
final battle was ok, every other advanced robot was more interesting than atom, still appreciate the journey, brau 1589 is underrated.
