Great news, hopefully they won't change much of the content when translating it.

20CB was licensed a long time ago, but by agreement with Shueisha it wouldn't be brought around until Monster was finished. I don't really like 20CB/21CB though, both manga are the worst of Urasawa's modern works.

Pluto I have yet to start, but it looks amazing not only because the concept is so novel. I hope the manga will be like Batman: The Animated Series invisionment of the Batman TV series; still distinct, but none of the camp.

I'm actually interested in some reason in the Pluto announcement…just the idea of a seinen Astro Boy from another perspective is my kind of thing. May also pick up 20th Century Boys too since I've heard a lot of good about it. (somehow Monster I've heard is good too but it just seems to be the kind of series I rather see the anime of than read)

These are two manga I'm definitely. When I read them I liked them much more than "Monster" but I stopped in order to make the experience of reading them in book form much more enjoyable. I hope viz pictures licenses the "20th Century Boys" movies.
