----------------------------------------
This was a very cute episode. The first half especially is one of the cutest things I have seen in anime. The entire time I was wondering why the music sounded like Kevin Penkin, then I see his name in the credits and on MAL and realize that perhaps I should have checked beforehand. Kevin did a great job with the soundtrack and hopefully it continues to be strong for the next three episodes.

Both the Japanese and English voice actors did a phenomenal job on voicing the robot characters and the little girl. It is hard to portray little children in anime, but it was as good as I have ever heard it.

The plot seems pretty straightforward so far, though with only four episodes, it doesn't need to be super complex. This type of show is kind of refreshing to be honest. The CG is the normal standard CG used in anime. It is fine. Nothing amazing yet, but nothing terrible either.

It is definitely a solid premiere.

Surprisingly not a bad first episode. There was some interesting world building and a somewhat cool, if well overused premise. The animation was about what I expected it to be based on the trailer - not bad, but not great either. Kevin Penkin is killing it with his soundtrack as usual so far, if only there was more of it.

Ugh full cg... the robots look fine but the girl looks really bad. The story wasn't that interesting for me. I liked the soundtrack.

It was an ok first ep, definitely a cute one in the first half and good world building, music is nice and the cgi with animation is fluid, the cgi isnt the best nor is it terrible either. the girls design could be a little better but it works, kinda expected it to be like this so its not like my expectations were that high, solid 1st ep, will watch the rest maybe tomorrow or something
some people...

Honestly, I don't know what to expect from these ONAs but knowing that Kevin Penkin is in charge of the OST already guarantees this show will have at least one 10/10 aspect.

Watching the robots become more and more attached to Sara is so heartwarming. I think I'm gonna like this show! ♥

Damn, cg anime with a post-apocalyptic robot theme, it seems like. The fmc was so curious shit and very spoiled brat act, such a dislikeable initial behaviour, if i can be honest here. Ofc its a trap to lure the human, what else? Too straight plot so far, with no good revelations among their world-building, make this first hard to digest for me, whats the point of this anime exactly? Is that just a human girl in the middle of robotical world? However, to my initial surprise, this got Penkin, so how could i hate this much? Bgm sounded very general, though. Lets see how well the story for the next 3 episodes. Hope its get right. But....

The only reason i watched this Anime was of course Kevin Penkin...

Baby Sara is cute.
It was alright first episode, setting up the premise.

So there is another human, who is that Scientist?

Wholesome seeing the robots going against their programm to raise human kid Sara. Curious to why humans are so feared *remembering the treatment of the boston dynamics robot* ...uhm perhaps its better to forget.

Diet entirely based on apples for a child? Definitely not a good idea.

Interesting show. Feeling fresh and nostalgic at the same time.

I love how CGI was used. Brilliantly and well done art and Animation. Everything consistent in quality.

Doesn't really do much in terms of characterization, and much less worldbuilding than one might expect. I don't really care for Sara yet, and I don't even know if the two parent robots have distinct personalities. I don't have anything to say regarding the animation. The mix of 2d and 3d is a bit odd, but I don't mind it much.
The one thing that really bothered me was when the evil robot was killing the robots in the 'worship humans' sect. It felt empty. I think it was missing music, or at least the kind you would usally see when an ominous vilain approaches, or people get slaughtered. But no, nothing. Just felt odd for a show in which the vilain looks like he does, and it's not like they didn't have the budget.

i liked the first episode so far the music set the tone and it was quite wholesome, I'm unsure how i feel about the artstyle at the moment
