I will say that, like Naoki Urasawa's other masterpiece (which is also just one of many), Monster, the show does tend to hit you over the head with some of the mysteries. But, outside of that, it's an incredibly well-written and evocative show that explores personhood. And like with Attack on Titan, it tackles grief, the impact of war, and radicalization in a way that I found to be particularly prescient right now (for obvious reasons). And I find that the way that Pluto references very obvious real-world events without much subtlety to be very effective here, since the perspective it offers is potentially charged and controversial in the West. Again, very relevant due to what is currently happening, and I think the show handles the geopolitical analogs fairly well without getting bogged into some of the fuziness. The animation is striking overall, with some scenes being downright breathtaking. Some of the CGI was a bit noticeable, but damn, it hits so often that it's easy to overlook. I also really loved the music and the opening sequence.
