So cute, heartwarming, sad, everything at once. I feel this was just perfect, perhaps just a bit on the short side. But there's the movie to solve that problem..

oh shit, I'd heard this was sad, didn't expect it to be Key-level sadism. ;_; I shouldn't watch sad things right before bed D:
For a while, this felt like a pilot for a series, until the end. It'd be nice to get a series out of this, though. (With a a nicer ending, maybe...?XD) I'd watch it.

also people keep calling this a Chobits rip-off and it 's not. A robot girl does not a Chobits rip-off make. Also, Flower >>>>>> Chii.

For an indy anime this had some fantastic art. Especially the backgrounds.*__*

Keiichiro dresses like a Digimon character. /random observation

overall 8 and crying myself to sleep. (No, not really.) Toodle pip.


I agree that this was very sad. I had panned on going to bed after watching this but now I cant.(damn) I would also like to see this as a full anime with a happier ending. I kinda wish that I had not watched the very end at least.(the part with the flower and her headphones In the last 18 seconds or so) In the end Flower really helped him I seriously wish that it had a happy ending.

Probably the worst iv felt after watching anime and iv seen some sad things.
8/10 easy if it was longer I would have like it even more though that would have been even sadder. The part towards the end when hes about to play and he has the little music box was really a (dare I say it) cute.

I curse the day when writers decided to give a sad ending just to make it more "memorable".
Hello? Romance? Yeah, I'm already there.

This was a excellent short movie - the visuals of hermit crabs being hermit crabs than water come to wash them away and their seen hiding in their shells, the girl Flower catching on that his face was indeed sad at times, the sparklers, the fireworks, the visuals felt 2D at times especially with the Keiichiro's hair but other than that no complaints, it was pleasant to view the scenery! I liked that the guy's shorts went over his knees, I hardly ever see that in animes. I found the bond to be special between the two, Flower came in his broken life and lifted his spirit. From the start I could tell the main character Keiichiro was off and seemed distant and uncaring - but from the point he cared about Flower being in that rain all alone, he gradually begins to change. Also I think the girl is so sweet in her attempts at cooking, to keep the place clean, cheering him up and to enjoy life - she finds greatness in her day, something new everyday for her to write about later in her dairy. When you see the message this short movie sends its hard to pass it up and deem it a waste of time, like I said its excellent. Now I just wish that Flower was given new/more outfits and more hairstyles because she was such a sweet girl I'd of loved to see her spoiled like a princess D8 Damn it all Keiichiro! However I enjoyed seeing her barefoot at times because it shown how delicate she was but really! ;-;

"Please let me be a part of your household. Forever."

It was really short, but it was also really good. I enjoyed it, with special mention to the music. It managed to deliver, in half an hour what other anime many times longer couldn't. It might have been even better if it was even a little bit longer. Cute, heartwarming and sad. Flower ;_;

^ I pity you for seeing this kind of OVA...

Well, what can I say...The atmosphere at the end kinda felt like the Hotarubi no Mori e kind of sadness...so sad, yet giving a conclusion that leaves much to be desired. It felt like moving on with that kind of conclusion makes your heart crush in itself if you think about it. Ugh, the feels again!

8/10!

I believe 4/10 would suit it perfectly.

Art of ruining the moment. Bring up a meme.

what isn't found, will destroy All around it.
because its not there,
theres nothing can be done about it

there are lies one wants tobe exposed, there are also
truths that one does not want th believe in.
In my case there is one of each

life will give you lemons, take the lemons and squirt it back

Predictable yet a sweet short story.
I doubt he'll ever get rid of that music box as he's going to become one of the biggest singers out there (let's pretend he will)

Every time there's a cute android, there's bound to be feels ;-; Too many times an innocent robot life gets to Robot Heaven...

I didn't think I would like it that much from looking at the cover but damn did it deliver~ Flower was so cute... At least she'll always be woth him in heart with that music box.

Unfortunately, as good as the concept of an (old model dysfunctional) abandoned 'Parent' android (created for care and support) with amnesia is found by a young man with a deceased family, who lives alone, and a plot of him having lost his passion for playing the guitar after his family's death, the execution is very abstract.

In a span of less than 30 minutes, a few months of their relationship is rushed as activities from day to day, which is fine to an extent but to just paste moments; the hint of her abandonment, his loss of care for music, to then end it with a quick conflict point of her shutting down which leads him to play the guitar after he brought her to the beach, which wakes her up to sing his song (which she's been practicing for weeks to have good vocals) to then abruptly skip to the future where he's playing the guitar in the streets with a piece of her gear in a music box, because she completely shut down one day, off screen.

... Her care and joy for him was sweet but... fucking terrible lacking build of development.
I won't bother with the 2 minutes extra movie version. I doubt it's any better.
I'm surprised an original anime was so poorly built. 4/10.
