Critics and fans note the incredibly well-written story before anything else. It explores a number of fascinating themes and delves into the issue of robots and humans coexisting, providing you with an engaging mixture of drama and murder mystery. The suspense of the series is incredible and it will make you forget about most of the furniture in your apartment since you’ll only need the edge of your seat.
The passion and precision put into the creation of Pluto will not leave you unmoved, and you’ll easily find yourself emotional listening to and contemplating all the conversations between its characters.
The art style is another thing that cannot be left unmentioned. Pluto looks stunning! The critics point out its gorgeous visuals accompanied by the perfectly fitting soundtrack that brings the indescribable atmosphere.
