Yet even with that in mind, \u201cPluto\u201d is something special, representing so much more than your standard show. That it was adapted from <a href=\"https:\/\/myanimelist.net\/people\/1867\/Naoki_Urasawa\">Naoki Urasawa<\/a>\u2019s manga of the same name should be indicative of that fact: in his decades of experience, the maestro has yet to produce a single flop. \u201cMonster\u201d, \u201cMaster Keaton\u201d, \u201c20th Century Boys\u201d, and \u201cBilly Bat\u201d are just a few of his works regarded as some of the greatest in the medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story is carried by a unique murder mystery plot set in the far future: robots are a regular feature of society, have rights, and can even adopt children. Yet despite being accepted by most of humanity, these changes have not been made without controversy. Anti-robot hate groups have sprung up and someone is going around killing the most advanced members of the species in the world. Enter Europol Detective Gesicht.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s efficient, married, and also happens to be a robot himself. As he falls down a rabbit hole hunting for an unbelievably powerful killer, Gesicht discovers a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy that ties the serial murders to a war in the Middle East, international politics, and a fight for the very future of the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like most adaptations of Urasawa\u2019s work, the mangaka\u2019s art style and strong writing are carried over faithfully. Each of the series\u2019 eight episodes is full of tension and world-building that unfolds like a very carefully wound web. The smooth animation has an almost classic feel to it, which the show\u2019s incorporation of CGI complements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pluto is an anime made for people that love good storytelling, animation, and suspense. If that sounds like you, what\u2019re you waiting for? Give Studio M2\u2019s latest hit a shot as soon as you can and prepare for an emotional, thrilling ride.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ismael David Mujahid, Executive Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Featured Image from Netflix)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t get more \u2018anime\u2019 than robots, conspiracies, and heart-pumping action.
