Pluto Ratings e Recensioni
- Angel9 settembre 2025Genius in every chapter, the kind that gives you a tingle on the back of your neck, with constant highs and lows looking for the emotional extreme viewer. Bittersweet amalgam of ideas that, unfortunately, prevents me from enjoying it or encouraging me to recommend it. It seems to have been written by someone bipolar, but I suppose this all comes down to business, with executives telling their team of screenwriters what they need to inject into each chapter now and then to keep their data analytics and marketing departments happy. Friendship, a father's love, hatred, etc. One can understand that these ingredients are part of the script, but when they are used every two minutes in almost every scene, regardless of what kind of feeling is being built, it ends up turning into a music video. It repeatedly collapses the beauty of the narrative into nonsense that confuses you to the point of losing interest. An aurora borealis born from Peltie that vanishes like tears in the rain, all during a conversation about everything except what is actually happening, serving no purpose beyond the empathy between the characters. It's a traffic jam where every time you accelerate, you have to brake. Every now and then the road clears and you can finally enjoy the ride, until you have to slam on the brakes so hard it nearly kills you. And again, and again, and again, until you just get tired of it. It's very difficult to give this series a low score; your brain remembers the impacts, the surprises, the superb moments in each chapter. But then you try to watch it again and you accept it. They don't learn. The miracles that appeal to everyone are just small pearls in the history of chance. If you try to pander to every sensitivity that exists in the viewer's universe, you'll most likely never wake up ;).
- rg94001 novembre 2024I 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.
