Finished it. It's a masterpiece.
The animation was perhaps not the best, but the pacing, voice acting, and music were perfect. And the writing is of course incredible, even if there are several elements that require suspension of disbelief. Pluto feels like a product of its time with the obvious parallels to the war in Irak, yet at the same time its themes remain timeless.
Very curious to know what Fubram thought of the rest of the story. I'd personally rank Epsilon's story above North 2's. And Gesicht's several levels above that.

I was confused at first, but then I realized you're talking about the English dub. Funny they got the same person.
