Finally...finally... After all these years T.T
The animation looks like a carbon copy of the source material, it's going to be grandiose!

Are there any news about this adaption? I hope it gets released yet this year, but considering our current situation there is a high change the project will be delayed.

Dang, whatever happened with this.

I hope new updates are coming up! I can't wait.

Yay, this is such great news!

One of my favorite manga ever written. Not to mention, Pluto should be much easier to adapt than a lot of Urasawa's other works. Barring terrible CGI, I don't see how anyone can screw up the adaptation.

No it's not. looks like this tweet doesn't provide any source, so I'll just assume that it was just based on an old interview with Maruyama

Edit: apparently Maruyama's newly established studio (Studio M2) will be doing it

I knew it would be M2, Maruyama left MAPPA a while ago and he's been fighting for a Pluto anime for years. Now whether or not M2 doing this is a good thing I don't know yet. Onihei didn't really look that good at all...But this is going to air in 2020. So they better make it look good by then. Still don't know why they'd announce it now, it'll make the wait even worse because I know it's actually happening. Ignorance really is bliss.

maruyama still is the president of mappa. he didnt leave it. also m2 is the same as mappa. just different name but same people, same office space. he just wanted to separate the two for financial reasons. riskier projects will be taken by m2 so even if they fail mappa wont be affected directly

He's at the event.. I think he knows a lot better than ANN who got their info from Crucnhyroll.fr and other sites instead of getting it from a person directly there. He's the one who's been providing the pictures/leaks from the event such as the Mazinger Z camrip trailer plus what they said there and pictures, etc. Would take his word over ANN.

Also even adala-news (http://adala-news.fr/2017/06/lexcellent-manga-pluto-adapte-en-anime/) confirm what he tweeted. My bet is that it's a co-production between MAPPA and M2 though, due to M2 not being able to fund Pluto fully and needing the name and staff of MAPPA for sales due to them becoming well-know thanks to Yuri on Ice!!! as well as their animators and funding (even though he was president of MAPPA, he's still involved with them).

Again the link you posted is clearly referring to what Maruyama said during an interview in 2014 before he founded M2, so even if he was at the event doesn't mean what he said isn't based on that old interview. moreover, while Mappa involvement in this project is likely, Maryama said that he founded M2 for the sole purpose of producing shows that he wanted to produce so badly before he dies, and that include Pluto and possibly the late Satoshi Kon's unfinished movie "Dreaming Machine"

agreed. he founded M2 for his passion projects. also, he still is the president of Mappa. i dont know why a lot of people think he isnt. and furthermore M2 is the same as Mappa. same studio, same people and same workplace. He just wanted to separate the two because of financial reasons (i guess M2 is for riskier projects, so even if they fail Mappa wont be affected directly)

If it is the case that M2 is doing it then I'm not too sure about this. I haven't read the source however when it comes to M2 they only did Onihei, and in terms of production it doesn't look too good either. Unless the staff is good enough then I'm not too sure about that.
