Pluto is an anime about mystery, thriller, and detective. The anime's genre switched to drama after the first episode. This anime shows a lot of empathy scenes but those things are hard to reach for a guy who has watched a lot of movies, and anime, read novels, and played video games. Those `empathy` scenes are just bland, nonsense, and annoying. Let me explain more.
Great storytelling uses empathy but this empathy must have logic behind it. The anime provides an empathic scene that is unrealistic. Let's say when a flood comes (not spoiler & not in anime), normal people will evacuate themself to a shelter or go rooftop but a character in this anime would just watch it flooding until it's too late to evacuate then someone dies. Because of that, I found it hard to empathise with a character.
The dialogues are too long and contain a product of empathy that produces a contrastable red flag like they will introduce a guy that has something to protect, then the next scene they will die. They should make a scene that prevents the audience from knowing a scene is a red flag.
This anime contain mostly adult but there is no action, no battle scene, no gore scene, no horror scene, and no adult scene. Even a kissing scene doesn't exist. I just watching until 6 eps, so don't know if they will exist in 7 or 8. The thing is I want to watch gore scenes, but disappointed that they never exist.
Also, some scenes are stupid and nonsense like when a character is in a place that far, then after a few seconds, they spawn on a certain location that far away. I believe it's a time plot hole & a place plot hole. Most people don't care, but that thing is crucial to the audience to know where are character's position are. So they don't just spawn nowhere in the scene.
Summary: However, the script and characters are well written. So it's still recommended to watch for most general audiences. Maybe someone that never watched anime, will find this anime amusing. But it's still disappointing that they use a product of empathy a lot without logic.
