amazed!
The robots & cyborg in this universe are very much quite emotional compared to universe such as Aliens. Although I question the decision to show a whole backstory so directly without a narrator or relation to any main character attached. Its an abrupt transition from the main story to a side story. The side story itself tells a beautiful tale, the range of emotion sensitivity a robot has in this universe. In just 1 episode 2 robots have a very different way of portraying their story & death, one relies upon story narration with only few imagery of who it is and what it did. While North no.2 got a whole ass 20-30min of the ep all about his connection with his last owner.
A world where humans and robots live together. Pluto episode 1 is definitely one of the most special episodes of the season, not because it’s the best, but because it’s the hardest to judge. Pluto is a long series; although it only has 8 episodes, the first episode is actually 1 hour and 11 minutes long, which is almost the length of three normal anime episodes. With such a long length, a lot of things can happen in the story. Pluto starts its series with a chaotic episode 1. While it can become hard to understand, it is actually quite interesting! It is hard to judge since it may be boring for some people, but once you give this anime a good try, you will understand how interesting it is. The interesting and unique world of Pluto. A lot of interesting settings were also introduced in episode 1: the strongest robots, the mysterious serial killing events, and of course, a world where humans and robots live together. It is not an entirely unique concept, as we have seen many robot-related works, but in terms of robots gaining human forms, and even emotions, Pluto is quite unique. My mind was really blown when I first watched Pluto, because robots can even have wives, act like humans, and feel emotions just like humans! It really feels like humans are living alongside 'Humans 2.0' in the same world. Since AI is evolving so fast in our real world today, this anime hits differently. The mysterious serial killing event: Who killed all the robots? Robots are literally 'Humans 2.0' in the world of Pluto. They are smart, strong, and have different kinds of abilities. And the best thing? They don't really die from aging or even getting hurt. In the world of Pluto, robots are nearly immortal, especially the 7 strongest robots, who are almost gods. The 7 strongest robots can’t die easily, yet they are being killed off one by one in the story. I truly think it is an interesting concept, and the mystery is really intriguing. The team did an incredible job; the story really has a horror vibe that makes you want to keep following along.
