Netflix dropped a full trailer for the upcoming anime ‘PLUTO’ from the Japanese animation studios Studio M2, Genco, and Tezuka Productions. Masao Maruyama has been tapped as the director for the eight-episode feature.
“The newly released trailer for PLUTO sets the stage for the anime adaptation of the critically acclaimed manga of the same name,” Netflix said in a statement. “Premiering on October 26, PLUTO is set in a neo-futuristic world where humans and high-performance robots coexist in a fragile harmony. The original manga by Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki is based on Osamu Tezuka’s iconic “Astro Boy: The Greatest Robot on Earth” arc from 1964, and won hearts and accolades around the world, including the prestigious Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. A stage adaptation, which debuted in 2015 and returned by popular demand in 2018, toured Japan and Europe, further solidifying its cultural significance.”
Japanese composer Yugo Kanno is handling the music and soundtrack for the series.

Netflix describes the synopsis as follows,
“In a world where humans and robots coexist, Europol detective Gesicht is on the case when a string of powerful robots are destroyed, leading him to believe that the culprit is targeting the most advanced robots in the world – including himself. But things take a shocking turn when key humans involved in robot law start getting killed off one by one, and there’s no clear sign of a perpetrator at the murder scenes. As Gesicht investigates, he meets the highly advanced robot Atom, whose emotions and AI leave him questioning his own identity. Together, they uncover a dark plot that could spell the end of the world as they know it. But with the clock ticking, can they stop the greatest evil in history before it’s too late?”
The series is based on a manga from Naoki Urasawa and Osamu Tezuka. It was published by the magazine ‘Big Comics’ from 2003 to 2009. It is published in the United States by Viz Media.
