Urasawa's robot murder mystery keeps the manga DNA untouched, respects duty and consequence, and serves existential dread without filler or moral inversion.
The Verdict
Buy the ticket. Pluto earns its Slop Score of 12 with zero committee rot and maximum robot noir impact.
Loved it? Mainline Ergo Proxy next for the same raw cyberpunk depth.
