There is so much wrong with Plastic Memories that it should never have been created. It is literally about a dude who falls in love with a midget robot who also happens to be a minor.

Story 1/10 : The anime has no real plot progression because everything is pushed back to the beginning after the last episode. The show tries to have the audience learn some messages and themes through the experiences of Tsukasa and Isla, but Tsukasa is this basic dude who has no reason to be heavily impacted by these messages. "Giftias" are the focal point of the sci-fi setting, but they ... don't make any sense whatsoever. I don't believe one person would go to the pet store and decide to pick out the human.

Setting 5/10: The setting is the only decent thing about Plastic Memories is the futuristic atmosphere that is unfortunately overwhelmed by the stereotypical design choices

Characters -5/10: I don't even know what to say. Tsukasa is by far the worst main character I have ever seen in an anime who acts completely like an NPC throughout the entire show. Isla is a robot that you are supposed to care about because she is going out of commission in a year or so. Batteries die all the time and all you have to do is replace them.

Conclusion: If you want to sit down and actually enjoy a show, don't waste your time with Plastic Memories. Everyone says that it makes you "rethink your life", but the only thing you'll be rethinking was the last 4 hours you spent wasted on this show.
