Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Tsukasa Mizugaki has failed his college entrance exams, but after pulling some strings, he manages to land a job at the Sion Artificial Intelligence Corporation. SAI Corp is responsible for the creation of "Giftias"—highly advanced androids which are almost indiscernible from normal humans. However, unlike humans, Giftias have a maximum lifespan of 81,920 hours, or around nine years and four months. Terminal Service One, the station Tsukasa was assigned to, is responsible for collecting Giftias that have met their expiration date, before they lose their memories and become hostile.

Promptly after joining Terminal Service One, Tsukasa is partnered with a beautiful Giftia named Isla. She is a Terminal Service veteran and considered the best in Giftia retrievals, contrary to her petite figure and placid nature. Time is fleeting though, and Tsukasa must come to terms with his feelings for Isla before her time is up. No matter how much someone desires it, nothing lasts forever.

Plastic Memories is a bittersweet sci-fi romance that explores themes of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of memories. Set in a futuristic world where humanoid androids called Giftias possess human-like emotions but have a limited lifespan, the story follows Tsukasa Mizugaki, a new recruit at the Terminal Service, and Isla, a Giftia nearing the end of her life cycle. Their journey is one of slow, inevitable heartbreak, as they navigate their growing feelings while knowing that their time together is limited.

One of the strongest aspects of Plastic Memories is its emotional buildup. The show excels at creating a sense of melancholy from the start, ...

Plastic Memories tries to tell a very serious story in the dumbest way possible, through very anime-esque tropes. Isla is the shy girl, Tsukasa is the very safely played dense protagonist who is polite and gets embarrassed, Michiru is the tsundere, so on and so forth. This usually isn't a problem when you're writing a trashy harem just to sell its porn afterwards. However, it is a problem when you want me to take the story as a very serious drama.

The show TRIES to tug on your heartstrings, but it's not possible to get attached to very cliche tropes. When you want me to be ...
