Naoki Urasawa's manga ran in Big Comic Original from 1994 to 2001, and Madhouse animated the whole of it; the last of the 74 episodes aired in September 2005, ending where the manga ends. 2 Discotek's first Blu-ray collection, episodes 1 to 37, is out now, and Netflix carries the series in the US. 13
If you liked
- Vinland Saga — Thorfinn spends years living with a violence he chose; Tenma spends years living with a mercy he chose. 4
- Pluto — Urasawa wrote both, and both trust a slow, quiet build. Pluto reaches the end of its mystery in eight episodes instead of 74. 5
Four swipes, then episode 1.
