We all know that Atri is an android. In terms of her similarity to humans, both mentally and physically, where should we place her? Which android from other anime or media most closely resembles Atri?

Personally, when it comes to mentality, Atri is on par or slightly below the Nikkes from *Nikke: Goddess of Victory* or the dolls from the *Girls' Frontline* universe. She might be on par if the feelings she develops are indeed true feelings from the very beginning, but she might be slightly lower if her "feelings" are just mere programming.

In terms of physical appearance and type, I think Atri belongs somewhere between the androids from *Detroit: Become Human* and the replicants from the *Blade Runner* franchise. She’s obviously not at the level of a replicant since her body is still, well, a robot, not a living organism. At the same time, she doesn’t really belong on the same level as the androids from DBH because she looks so human. As Natsuki said, "she easily passed the uncanny valley territory" because she resembles a human so much, while the androids in DBH still irk some people. Considering physical capabilities, we can’t put Atri on the same level as the Nikkes or dolls since, from what we’ve seen, Atri is just slightly stronger than an average little girl. Natsuki can put her in a chokehold fairly easily, but I might be wrong. So, what do you guys think?

Also, if Atri were real, would you treat her like a human or like a robot?

Not too big on all fictional androids, so I will rate her 'humanity' from 1-10.

Which I rate 8.5-9.

Honestly, I think it's way to soon to ask such questions, only in the last episode, Natsuki started asking how human she is. And the small amount of information we have influence my ranking.

I am staring to suspect she is not even an android, but actually a human. But still there is a question or her staying underwater for so long and superhuman strength. If she is really a robot, then as she claims herself, she is indeed high performance and incredibly human-like.

If this anime did not presented Atri as an Android, I would not figured it myself that she is actually not human. She may be high-performance as she proclaim to be, but the way she was bulit is just too human for a robot. There is a good part about it.

@Piromysl good theory,but Atri being an android is one of the main point in the VN,so i don't think they will going down this route

She can manifest the same feelings as humans. She can also eat, sleep, drink, support you if in need, be worried and with that said, she would be considered human rather than a robot. She does not look like one as well =))

I would like to say that, yes. Because she is not presented like a robot and you would never say that she is a robot until someone proves you are wrong, don’t you think? 😁

That's the thing. She might resemble a human, but she is zero human. As you said, that's the point. There's no sense in trying to attribute human subejctive characteristics to anything else than humans.

@OtakuKun1 indeed,if something act like human,talk like human,look like human and goof around like human, it's human isn't it? Forget about the whole "her body is made of steel and resin" part,if nobody tells you that she's a robot, nobody would know

@KietaTeenRomance good point,so let's just say like this

On one side you have,Atri,100% a robot,an android,made of resin and electronic but act like human,talk like human and feels like human

And on another side,you have replicant,100% "organic", physically the same as human,but they don't act and feel like human and their whole existence is already decided by programming.

Which one would you most likely treat like human ?

Yes, but her body does not seem like is made of steel and resin or the producers do not want to highlight this part. They want to show Atri just like other humans and act like them.

I guess it depends on the definition of "human".

If we use the definition of being human in terms of being flesh and blood, then no. Likewise, we can say that if it resembles how humans look, can converse in our languages (much like AI chatbots right now but more "advanced"), essentially mimics human traits and such, then no. As essentially, it does not understand nor it is self aware but rather only algorithmically predict the words and sentences to use in a conversation.

On the other hand, if Atri is self-aware, can understand and be able to experience emotions like happiness, sadness, love, essentially human emotions then I say yes. The emphasis on being experience. As being able to experience something is far from just understanding and is what I think a clear distinction versus AIs that just mimic human behavior.

But enough of my ramblings, without going into VN territory I say that Atri is indeed human in my books. Also I think that Isla from Plastic Memories is a similar character to Atri.
