As a whole, Pluto makes for one of the most moving pieces of animation in recent memory. Its reflections on artificial intelligence are bolstered by an underlying empathy for its characters, breathing life into concepts that have been done to death in myriad other tales.
Pluto is a masterful character-driven drama about the fallout of war and what it means to be human. The series’ central whodunnit falls a little flat, but it more than makes up for it with impeccable emotional arcs. Although the series took over six years to make, it was worth the wait.
This show is a masterpiece. The animation is very fitting, but what impressed me most is the story, which had deep philosophical themes, like what it means to be human, or what ot means to be perfect. It's honestly a crime how little netflix promoted this show.
Watching this show is a breathe of fresh air in 2023. If you long for the days of late 90's early 2000s anime style with modern quality, you will most likely love this show. It is seriously astonishing! This is one of those shows that I would rewatch with a friend just to talk to them about it.
Even if Pluto strikes some sci-fi watchers as a bit derivative or self-serious, animation fans should appreciate its designs, fluidity, and invention. This is a great-looking show, and effective testimony for how sometimes fantastical stories are better-served by animation rather than live-action.
If you're a fan of "Pluto," seeing this story rendered in animation will be worth the wait. If you're a newbie, the mystery will keep you hooked and the character arcs will make you glad you stayed.
Netflix slowly become a juggernaut in both TV and Anime, simply by going for the fences every now and then. Pluto is the best 'serious' anime sci-fi since Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. Moreso, it is literally a reimagining of beloved classic Astro-Boy aka ATOM but done in a realistic manner. Absolutelly brilliant and a must watch for anime fans everywhere.
Another Naoki Urasawa masterpiece, this time adapted by Maruyama, another master of his craft.
Absolutely essential watch for anyone interested in animation or philanthropy.
This show was such a kick! Impeccable art, brilliant character building, philosophical questions handled with finesse and center to the story. This is an instant classic.
