Animated by MAPPA, in 8 long episodes, one for each book.
Maruyama will be producing, Urasawa wil be overseeing the pilot episode.
Could be interesting.

HOLY SHIT ANIME KINO RIGHT HERE
>>158492150
Master Keaton best Urusawa work
The episodes would have to be at least 60-90 minutes long for it to be paced properly.
The manga was fucking trash though.
Oh nice, time to rape another 10/10 manga with a shitty anime adaptation
Time to continue reading this manga.

He wasn't the writer.
>>158492289
Pretty sure long episodes mean one hour long ones as they discussed before in an interview.
>>158492415
Normally it means 45 minutes, as in double-length episodes.
>>158492415
Could be "hour" as in 45 minutes + ads.
>>158492444
Not for Maruyama:

Oh so it's finally confirmed?
Based MAPPA.
Hopefully it's more than just a boring panel-for-panel adaptation.
>>158493112
They'll at least have to shrink the noses a bit.
>>158492150
Fucking nice. I'm not a huge fan of Urasawa but I loved Pluto.
>>158493132
I'm not just talking about the designs. They shouldn't be afraid to change up things like pacing and presentation if it suits the anime format better.
>>158493112
Considering Urasawa will be supervising the anime just like he did for monster, I don't have much hope.
>>158492150
>Maruyama will be producing
Didn't he leave and start a new studio?
How would they release the 8 episodes? Weekly? I hope it's not like the garbage Digimon Tri movie series.

Get out, pleb

Anime is saved

He stepped down as president, but he has the position of chairman (会長) at MAPPA now.
M2 a pre-production studio

>それで、スタジオM2という、プリ・プロダクションのみの企画会社をつくりました。企画会社のつもりだったんですけど、他にもいろいろやらなきゃいけなくなってしまって。そうなってしまうのは、この業界の常なんです。
It was never meant to animate anything. Picking up Onihei was probably just a last resource to keep the project from dying outright (hence it being entirely subcontracted) but his plan was always to just do the planning part and then pass it on to a real studio.

Official confirmation by the Genco producer.
Also says the poster is provisory.
>>158492367
>>158492413
So? There's no way he wouldn't have some say or input on plot,pacing,etc. It's still one of his works even if he isn't the writer.
>>158492377
Only bakas think like this. The manga is still great even if the adaptation doesn't turn out well.
Sticky when?
Oh man. This is great. I remember the first time reading Pluto in one day because I couldn't put it down. I hope they do it justice.
>>158494185
Fucking never
>>158492150
Not MAPPA, but Studio M2 (Onihei)

>>158493745
It was only supposed to be a pre-production studio, but it didn't work out in the end. That's why they had to produce Onihei, and are doing Pluto in the near future.
>>158492367
I'm so fucking EXCITED. 3 more years until we get anime of the decade.
>>158494185
Mods are fucking stupid.
MAPPA
FINDS
A
WAY (AGAIN)
>>158492777
Trips confirmed.
>>158494185
Why do you want a sticky?
>>158495777
/a/ has moderation for half the day. We are currently experiencing the other half. Wait until the mods are done sorting their boxers by their dirtiness.
>>158495824
To basically ruin the thread and have hundreds of inane post all variations of "I'm posting in a sticky!"
>>158492150
Nice. I don't even remember the ending but still, nice.
>>158495824
Because Pluto deserves it. Unlike a lot of the garbage that gets stickied.
>>158492150
Isn't it getting adapted by M2?
>>158497019
I think it'll be a co-production, especially since M2 literally can not produce anime on its own. Onihei was entirely outsourced.
ITT: Overrated shit

>MAPPA
Nice.
>>158492150
WTF I love MAPPA now.
