PLUTO
hurts to give this a 3 but man that was a messy watch. it starts off with one of the best pilots i have seen, and sets up a interesting little robot muder mystery but as the show DRAGS on it really failed to keep me interested in the mystery. the actual story behind the mystery felt underbaked and i feel like there were a lot of plotholes. this show hit a weird spot in which it felt slow and was quite boring at times while also feeling like we were not getting provided enough storytelling. those combined just equals a really shitty show 🥲
the main story and themes here were the weakest parts. all of the side stuff and like deadass 30+ themes covered in this were magnificent though. i’m not sure if the overarching conflict being terrible was an adaptation issue or a source material thing. with better pacing i think the story could have worked better but looking back at everything i dont even know how they could’ve made me care to begin with.
the world building was also pretty phenomenal and the voice acting+ animation were top notch
north no 2 and geischt are some s tier robots man RIP
