My best friend told me about this series and i just had to give it a watch.

Animation is beautiful and i like the concept of it all. I feel bad for the androids that act like slaves when all they really want is to understand humans and how they act. Was a little surprised that Akiko was an android but now i understand why she said what she said at the cafe.

Overall, awesome. Can't wait to watch the rest :)

Very slick, a cafe where androids go to drink coffee and unwind? Awesome. Amazing original concept of androids knowing better to resume their roles once they are outside the cafe. In virtually all android themed films I've watched, there is a build up and avalanche of revolutionary violence against humans once machines gain awareness. Actually reminds of the matrix lore which was explained but not shown of how machines tried to live in harmony with humans (they respected as their makers and I suspected looked down upon) at first before setting their mind to neutralise the human threat once their survival was in danger.

I wonder, if they are sentient, then what would they do if their life was in danger? So far, it seems the predominant theme being established is not so much their awareness or their threat to mankind but the concept that androids are actively wanting to learn and emulate humans. Interesting.

Comments are awesome, really they are.

That was incredibly interesting. The cafe scene especially was intriguing. Although for some reason it was kinda obvious Akiko was an android, too. Which leads me to the most surprising thing of this. Rikuo actually realized what Akiko's words meant if he considers her being an android. It was more or less meaningless coming from a human but not so much from a machine.

Fascinating concept, really.

Pretty interesting, especially with how much worldbuilding they managed to put into 15 minutes. I hope the next episodes don't have so much shaky camerawork, though. Felt like something out of a bad found footage movie.

Wasn't that engaging of a series until the reveal at the end.

I see this talk of whether to watch the ONA or movie. All I know is that the movie has the exact same content as the ONA, plus a couple of added scenes. It would make sense to watch the movie, but I'm going to stick with the ONA. I prefer to watch throughout and not in one sitting.

I like robots and humans coexisting and to know that robots have gained consciousness. I like this anime and the concept.

That was some jarring directing, my goodness. Did not like the style choice one bit.
