This anime has a pacing that fantastically captures the different storylines in the manga series. With 7 episodes retelling the stories of the seven greatest artificial intelligence and most powerful robots made and 1 finale episode, the anime shines in the pacing of the mystery and build up from the manga.
On top of keeping almost all of the original scenes, the anime avoids adding additional narratives to explain scenes and let the manga scenes tell its own stories. Most of the episodes are somewhat episodic and unfold with each of the scenes presented in the episode having a significance in the progression of the grander mystery plot.
With Pluto, all stories end with Atom of course but all seven robot's stories have beautiful character development, especially Gesicht as the starting protagonist. This is an anime worth rewatching to capture the details of each episode and savor the storytelling from the popular author of Monster and 21st Century Boys. Not to mention it gives great tribute and immortalizes the classic Atom (Astro Boy)!
