Monster, 20th century boys, Billy bat, Pluto: MASTERPIECES

[@fajriputrarudisukmawan7294]

Its soooo 👌🗿👌

[@ramymechta6255]

In my opinion monster is his best manga

[@moonlightray8493]

My favourite is Monster, by far. I absolutely loved the nuanced and sophisticated manner of which Urasawa explored themes such as personal identity, nature VS nurture, and the inherent darkness VS goodness of humanity. I was simply blown away by just how much character development is given to extremely minor characters, making every one of them feel like an actual person - regardless of whether we see them for a single arc, or even a single chapter. Johan was also a very captivating and unique villain, an enigma that ties the whole story together. Monster is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and I don't think it'll ever be dethroned as my favourite anime AND manga series of all time. As for Urasawa's other series, I'd put Billy Bat second, followed by Pluto, and then 20CB. That's probably due to a lack of personal interest in sci-fi robots though, rather than a judgment of the stories themselves. I also enjoyed Master Keaton and Mujirushi, but I wouldn't rank them anywhere near the same level of storytelling as the four series above. Finally, with regards to Asadora, it kinda reminds me of a Ghibli film - we have a brave young woman as the protagonist, her quirky but kind-hearted family & friends, and of course, airplanes. I'm quite curious to see where this series goes, since it seems to be a mix of Urasawa's earlier works (sporty women SoLs) and his most acclaimed series (mystery/suspense thrillers). Thanks for making this video! It's always great to see more discussion on Urasawa series.

[@vinz8081-2]

Each and every work of Urasawa was perfection. And also Dr.Tenma's character really proved that you don't really need a fleshed out backstory to be a perfect written protagonist.

[@Jestersage]

Fair enough. I actually put Billy Bat below 20CB and Monster, since it start to go even more mythical. In fact for me, 20CB speaks more to me, namely as an adult. You watch them grow up and mature, and what childhood dream and moral they decide to keep vs what they decide to let go is what makes it attractive.

[@ritacirocavalcante]

After reading both 20th Century Boys and Monster and trying to find similarities and differences between the two, I wondered which of these Urasawa wrote first. To think he wrote BOTH at the same time is mind-boggling.

[@my-spinning-wheel]

This blew my mind too. They also feel very thematically related with themes of lingering trauma, friendship, and redemption. Such deep works.

Not exactly. Both those manga overlapped at one point but it was only at the last years of monster that 20thCB started.

FACTS

[@david5577]

20th Century Boys has always been one of my favorite manga of all time for the sheer amount of passion and eccentricity going into every facet of it. The way music, manga, professional wrestling, theme parks, giant robots, esp, and so much other insane stuff blend together to create this insane yet heartfelt and grounded story centered around theme of regret and age is just incredible. If any of Urasawa's works were to get the translation treatment I'd love for it to be Yawara

[@almark6548]

Music?... I thought it was just a manga.

[@smartguy6895]

​@Al Mark there's a heavy emphasis in the manga on songs throughout the series. They are important and meaningful to the story.

[@Davies46]

I adore Monster, but Pluto is my favourite. The only real critisizm ive ever had of Urasawa is that sometimes his stories can get a little long winded, but Pluto is so fantasticly well written and concise. It is truely amazing what Urasawa does with 8 volumes.

Pretty good video, I wish you talked about Manben, his series of documentaries about other mangaka. I know you wanted to focus on his works, but it is nice watching the daily life of other mangakas and their struggles with creativity. It was also a good way of learning about other manga I havent read before. They were also a great way to motivate me with my webcomic.

[@cosmicklutz1675]

I’m watching the anime adaptation of Pluto now that it’s released on Netflix and as someone who’s only ever been vaguely interested in Urasawa’s works and someone who isn’t really into anime like I used to be, this anime really hits all the right chords with me, with all its twists and unexpected turns and the sheer thematic depth of the story. I can’t wait to finish it so I can start Monster and read 20thC Boys which I’ve been meaning to for years. I am now FIRMLY a fan of Naoki Urasawa thanks to Pluto

[@gamefaq]

I really hope Yawara gets picked up for an english release. As much as I love his more popular works like Monster or 20th Century Boys, I thought it was interesting to see a more lighthearted series from him that didn't involve a murder mystery. I absolutely loved the anime series for Yawara and it's a shame that it was only partially released in english back in the 2000s.

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

PLUTO anime is finally coming the trailer looks amazing

[@evanskan6326]

I watched Monster anime years ago as a college student and I can easily say it is one of the best psychological thrillers I've ever watched. I recently started buying the 20th century boys Perfect edition volumes (got the first two, waiting for 3 and 4 and I plan to buy the rest till the end of the year). I am halfway through volume 2 and yes... so far I can easily say it is a masterpiece! If I didn't know who Urasawa was I would wait till the last volume to see how I feel about the story. But I know his work, I've seen what he is capable of and I can tell that I am in for a blast reading this amazing manga!

[@RuggerJug]

Urasawa is one of the greatest mangaka of all time. His stories are genius. My only nitpick would be that a majority of his series all have the same art style, specifically the character designs. It isn't exactly a bad thing because I really like the art style. However, it does make it hard to instantly know which characters are from what series, since a lot of them are very similar. It does make his art style very recognisable tho haha

I'm almost finished the first volume of Asadora and I can't say it's as immediately gripping, but I'll keep reading. As for series I want to see localized, I'd also love to see Happy, Yawara, and of course Billy Bat in English.

[@Bubblegob]

Urasawa obviously know where is stories are going but there's a real flow to the way he layers his stories with twists, red earings, wholesome character moments there are a lot of Urasawa tropes it even gets grading when you read two series back to back yet it feels effortless. It works so well but it's kind of always the same kind of scenes, his way of telling his stories is very efficient and always works in the same ways with the particular narratives being strong enough to hold it up together. All of this to say, I'm not so surprised to learn Monster and Twentieth Century Boys were done concurrently, they really are done the same and have a lot of those Urasawa tropes I wouldn't be surprised if some storyboards were used for both series. I have not read his earlier works but since those seems to be his first thriller stories and those tropes being strong in Pluto and Billy Bat it would make sense to me that working on two mistery series at the same time cemented this way of storytelling.

[@erolon17]

20th century boys is amazing! Saw the film adaptations for such a massive story they condensed it well and each of the films were pretty good. I'd like to read Pluto always heard about but haven't had the chance to read it. Happy and Sneeze I didn't know about but will look into soon

In regards to his material yet to be released in English, I’m really hoping we get Billy Bat although I don’t think that’ll happen anytime soon. I would definitively love to own Yawara and Happy physically, so let’s hope they get printed sometime soon!

I've only recently finished YAWARA's anime. I wasn't paying attention to the credits so I only found out it was by Urasawa after the fact.

@@mariovelan7380 tbh it's not that bad. When I read 20th century boys I don't know there people were people thinking the ending is bad. Infact even in the final arc there are good moments for important characters & there are good plottwists aswell. In the end I'd say I really liked it. So it depends on how a reader thinks.

@@suraajgogeta5390 alright. Thanks man. I think ill just get it and read it for myself and find out. Loved Urasawa’s Pluto and monster although put in anime format. Don’t think I’ll be disappointed with 20thCB.

20th century boys and Pluto is my absolute favorite, Asadora has a potential to be one of my top fav as well
