it was alright. I don't understand why the boys are so obsessed with telling there kitchen appliance it can't act human. I mean, there are pros and cons to the arguement about androids that fall on the creator.

I like how you can't tell in the cafe whether or not there androids and adds a needed twist to the story and character development though.

I really love this show. It's refreshing for me. I like the animation and the sound. I'm also looking forward for the next episode. Hopefully, yes..there will be a second season.


Same here. Its nice to have such a high standard and somehow relaxing (at least for me) show besides all these typical "mecha / fantasy / scifi / action anime" (...although I like them as well, of course). ^^

Its obvious this show has the potential to be really great, I have loved the first two episodes so far. I cant wait for the third, but they are releasing them way too far apart. 2 months for 15 min is way too long.

another good episode.... agree with ender650 that release times are too far apart... I'll probably end up rewatching them all together afterward just to take it all in.

Im getting more and more interested about robots, especialy about androids. Thanks to this show. To me, this show is very interesting , because the androids have feelings too. I can only imagine how would i feel, to see my robot being independent like an human. DAAAMN, it sucks that we are so far away from androids. When androinds are reality. I am surely a old geezer by then..too bad.

Good episode 5/5. i hope, that there isnt going to be any robot rebellion or like something.

I loved this episode. As one who has ben romantically attracted to some anime robots (and one RL robot) myself (is there any term for that?), I support the idea of having no distinguishment between robots and humans. I hope the hero will come to support this, as, technically, if they are artificially intelligent, they're as real as us, if not the same species. After all, who knows if we're "real"?

Right, fangirling time now. One: Sammi! Sammiiii~ <3 Two: Rikuo x Sammi! Rikuo x Sammi!

(Btw, did anyone catch a slight biblical reference here? The time of Eve, androids (angels) living on earth with humanity... or do I just allegorize too much? xD)

This show is really great in every aspect such as animation and story and keeping all of those at a high standard. The only downside is having to wait a month or so to get another 15 minute episode... even if it was 30 minutes it is still too long to have to wait for a new episode.

The dualism between androids and humans could be something like the rivalry between Cain and Abel, the two first-born of Eve. Time of Eve could mean something like "the time before Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden" where everything was still alright. And of course, the halo's.

Though this might just be like with Evangelion,where in the end was stated that it was only used to give the project a unique edge against other giant robot shows, and that it had no particular meaning.

Nice episode. Less 'weird/artsy' than the first one, but there was more time for characters, especially Sammie. <3

Another great episode, made me feel kinda sorry for Sammy. I'm assuming that the guy with the book is some sort of agent for the ethics committee or whatever it was.

Well, at least the encounter between main character and his robot was interesting, now he knows she can feel like a human being.

Aww, felt bad for Sammy... It is kind of interesting how the robots seem to be much more animated than the actual humans -- well, the two guys who we know for sure are humans, at least. ._. But this episode did make me more curious as to the main character's past... The boy who can no longer play the piano anymore? D:

Anyway, personally, I'm liking how this is all playing out~

So individuality is beginning to surface.

I liked this episode more than the first. Akiko being an android wasn't much of a revelation to me. Or maybe it hit me a little too hard and a little too fast that I didn't know what hit me :P

I like Rikou. He might feel like he owns Sammy but he seems willing to learn to acknowledge her as a helper and not a slave. Masaki is going the other way. It will be interesting to see how their relationship develops.

As far as the concept of robots developing their own personalities is concerned, I don't think this is the first time I've seen it. But it's the way of presentation that pulls me towards this series. On a personal note, I have no doubt that this isn't too far fetched. I believe there is a very real and probable, almost certain, chance that robots and androids will eventually develop sentience. Though I'm not sure if it will resemble organic sentience.

I don't wanna speculate about which characters are androids and which are human. I want it to be a surprise. Something that makes me revisit the episode and see a connection that I previously didn't.

Wonderful continuation. I really feel bad for Sammy, and the other androids, being bound by their owners’ will and not being able to do as they truly are, the only place in which they can rest and feel alive being the café.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Yes, we got to see Sammy, she looked pretty, Chie was adorable and Akiko is just Akiko (great!).

I do wonder why he mentioned Blade Runner, he could imply a twist.

I liked the moral dilemma that this anime is presenting so far, whether to dismiss the android's feelings as something that is programmed into them and treat them as a mere tool, or to take their emotions seriously and treat them like any normal human being. There's more to the cafe that how it seems, and my biggest question thus far is whether Nagi is a human or an android. If it is the former (which i admit, appears unlikely), it raises a lot of interesting questions regarding how she perceives androids...

The moment when he puts his glasses on and recognizes Sammy had more emotional impact than 2/3 of any anime I've ever watched could ever muster. a really good watch this series.

I think I would have a tough time adjusting to these revelations that Rikuo and Misaki have learned from their time so far in the cafe, though it looks like Misaki already has learned it. You cannot absolutely trust robots. While it is clear that people tend to treat their robots poorly, they also heavily rely on them and absolutely trust them to accomplish important tasks for a family. Doubting your robot is like doubting if water will continue to run in your house or if your A/C will run today.

I also liked how Rikuo reacted to when he saw his robot in the cafe. You can tell that the big sticking point for Rikuo is the fact that robots can have secrets, not that robots go to the cafe. I believe the waitress was right in the fact that Rikuo would actually give Sammy permission to go the cafe is she asked, but she hasn't ask and hasn't admitted to ever going there. All that Rikuo wants to do is to discuss the issue and get the secrets out in the open so he can properly adjust himself if the evidence warrents it, but the people in the care are being unnecessarily obtuse. I can understand why you would want to keep secrets to prevent harm to someone close to you, but it causes more harm if they begin to learn the secret. The unknown is causing more harm for Rikuo than whatever revelation Sammy could bring.

I did some research and found out that the Eve no Jikan movie is a compilation of all these episodes plus some extra scenes, so I'm gonna mark this as done and give it the same rating as I did the movie lol

I still like this animation though (:

The atmosphere was serene and nice. Concept was simple but interesting.

Sigh, why would they give the androids human appearances and then complain that humans are empathizing with them.

There's no reason to give androids human appearances if they don't want humans to empathize with them.
