About this listen

URASAWA BOYS is back!! Exactly on schedule - 2 weeks (and 1 year) after our Episode 0 on "Astro Boy: The Greatest Robot on Earth," we're finally beginning our coverage of Pluto. After a quick review of what we've been doing in our barely noticeable hiatus, join us for our thoughts on Pluto's interesting shift of main character, the obvious (and not-so-obvious) intertexts, cool robots, sad robots, and what seems to be a prelude to a metaphor about the US war in the middle-east? Who could say. Folks - it's a good one!

Material Covered: Pluto (Chapter 1-7)

Next Time: Pluto (Chapter 8-15)

Urasawa Boys is a podcast hosted by S. Quinn Morris and Matt Fennell covering the collected works of Naoki Urasawa. You can follow the show on BlueSky and support us on Patreon. The theme music for this season is the track "Clues to the Truth" from the official soundtrack to the anime, composed by Yugo Kanno. Thanks for listening!
