But I'm going to make an exception for VIZ's new trailer for Pluto, Naoki Urasawa's take on Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy, which actually proffers a sense of urgency that might nudge a fan into buying the book (volume one is in stores now!).
That said, I do have to poke fun about one thing: it opens up saying that the manga is based on “Astro Boy: The Greatest Robot On Earth,” and then asks the question towards the end: “Who is the greatest robot on earth?” I mean, I know we all kind of knew the answer to begin with, but it seems a little repetitive.
Still, though, if you're on the fence about whehter to spend that $10 on the manga instead of a movie or something, check out the trailer and see if it knocks you over onto the Pluto side.
