Everyone's talking about Netflix's PLUTO! Here's what the sci-fi anime is about

As we're currently in a dry season of new anime shows with the approach of the Winter 2024 season on the way, fans have been taking a break from new titles and have begun to look back at titles from the past year.

One of these anime shows, in particular, includes PLUTO, a Netflix anime that fans feel should be paid attention to. Fortunately, we've had it on our radar for some time!

Why PLUTO is the anime to add to your must-watch list

Whether you're someone who likes powerful animation or someone who thinks the central story of an anime is paramount to your enjoyment, we think you'll like PLUTO just fine as this 2023 anime has a mix of both and so much more!

The Netflix anime show follows the life of a world where humans and robots have a beautiful relationship, showing that the two are more alike than different. However, all that peace is disrupted until a serial killer comes along to ensure that robots stay in their place and never become any more human-like than they already are.

It's up to Gesicht to uncover just who is behind all this chaos. But this task is easier said than done, as he has more on the line than he could have ever imagined.

Read more of the story of PLUTO below, via Netflix:

"A murder occurs in an orderly world where robots are unable to kill humans. The robotic Europol investigator Gesicht takes the case, but the mystery deepens when he finds no trace of a human at the scene of the crime. As he pursues the truth, Gesicht uncovers the most evil manifestation of hate that history ever seen, one that is bent on bringing destruction to the world."
