KFR 111: Pluto - A gritty retelling of an Astro Boy epic!!!

It’s been in development for almost a decade and FINALLY Pluto has landed on Netflix!

Based on one of Astro Boy’s most iconic story arcs, The Greatest Robot on Earth, the story was rewritten in the 2000’s as a mystery series, giving the franchise a more mature approach to it’s storytelling and themes.

So should you watch it? Well let’s not beat around the bush – Yes. It’s excellent even if you’re not familiar with Astro Boy other than the name!

But there’s a LOT more buried in this series origin and it’s adaptation than you might realise, including links with several other highly acclaimed anime too!

All this, plus the latest anime news, plus Kyle trying to make you watch the weirdest show of the season!
