This show is slow paced, yes but it rewards your patience with a climax that hits harder emotionally than any of the anime punches we are used to.
I had high expectations of this since I loved Monster, another anime by the Pluto's author and just like Monster, this show truly embodies human kindness and empathy.
The world is messed up and this show draws parallel to some of the darkest events of the latest millennium but throughout those moments of bleak and violent incidents, there's a ray of hope that this show never loses sight of.
Seinen anime are few in number but the recent adaptation of Vinland Saga and now this gives me hope that there's an audience that wants to see more mature themes in anime.
In short, Pluto is a masterpiece if you're patient and willing to pay attention.
