If you haven’t experienced it yet, what are you waiting for?
Summary:
Pluto explores the world with humans and robots living together.
No matter what you expected from the series, it can surprise you.
The story and its plot twists along with the visual part are incredible.
Pluto is a fresh Netflix anime series that was released on October 26, 2023. Since the episodes are quite long (around 60 minutes each), and Netflix provides all the episodes at once instead of making the audience wait for an episode a week, viewers needed some time to catch up with the series. And now that it’s finally been enough time for fans to experience Pluto, they have more things to say about this anime.
Pluto is a story about people living with robots
If you haven’t heard what Pluto is, here’s a short recap. Pluto takes place in a world where humans and robots coexist. The story starts with the beloved robot Montblanc’s destruction followed by a mysterious murder of a human. Gesicht is the detective responsible for the investigation. He realizes these two victims are not the only ones at risk, and the most powerful robots in the world are in danger, too. Now he has to try to save them and find the sinister power behind these crimes.
Fans did not expect that
Pluto is based on Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy, which is a popular Japanese science fiction manga series. Knowing this fact, some fans expected a new light-hearted take on this beloved series, but man, were they wrong. Just like Astro Boy deals with the trauma of losing a child, Pluto has got plenty of drama to offer.
Some fans understood that Pluto is not going to be a joyous series, and expected it to be a dark murder mystery, but even they admit that they had no idea what was coming. The way Pluto builds up to its plot points and reveals is just something different. They say it leaves little breadcrumb trails, giving you clues until the story drops these bombshells on the viewers.
The story makes you really sympathize with robots, and even though they are supposed to be just heartless machines, we are given plenty of evidence that it’s not actually the case of Pluto’s robots. The first episode alone is enough to see that there’s something more behind these creations. North No. 2 expresses desires and interest, as well as regret and sorrow. He wants to learn to play the piano and seems really eager to help his master. This trope of “robots having feelings” is not something new, but Pluto does it differently. You actually believe the narrative and can’t help but feel for robots and worry about their fate.
The worldbuilding along with the story itself is really fantastic, and you don’t really care that the episodes are this long, you find yourself wondering where the 60 minutes went at the end of each part of the story. And we can’t forget the visuals that bring this impeccable experience to another level.
