Hybrid Child

The skilled craftsman Kuroda created artificial humans called Hybrid Child—creatures who are neither machines nor dolls, but rather a reflection of the love shown to them. While they can feel human emotions and have their own consciousness, they are not real humans and require love to grow.

Kotarou Izumi is the young heir to the noble Izumi family, so it is frowned upon when he brings an abandoned Hybrid Child he found in the garbage into their household. His family even attempts to throw away Hazuki—Kotarou's name for the Hybrid Child—multiple times when he is not paying attention. But through overcoming these obstacles, their love and the bond connecting them grow stronger. However, ten years pass before a horrifying realization dawns on them: a Hybrid Child might not have an endless life span.

Hybrid Child is a collection of three short love stories, depicting the relationship between the artificial humans and their owners.

I cannot stress enough how much of a masterpiece this anime is. I've immediately watched it after learning the manga was written by the author of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica. After watching the first episode, I fell in love with the art and music. Every aspect of anime is gorgeous and touches your heart. However, I did not cry until I got to the last episode. I had prepared myself not to cry, but yet here I am bawling my eyes out. (my god. who and what hurt this woman so bad that made her write such a sad manga??) This anime is ... definitely worth watching; don't let the boring, bland synopsis discourage you from watching. I can assure you that this 4 episode ova is better than most of the overrated anime crap.

Mixed Feelings

Okay. I have never written any reviews but let me try this out with this BL anime.

I've seen plenty of BL animes so far, and this one honestly did have quite a different storyline than most of the ones I've seen. The plot was actually quite interesting. I am giving this anime a 5 only because the plot jumped around a lot and it was pretty difficult to understand. I thought the deep and emotional nature of some of the relationships was cute and quite the tear-jerker, but again, I could barely understand what was happening.

Not to mention the graphics were a bit awkward, and ... there wasn't really enough "boys love" in the anime, for my liking anyway. I've seen a lot better BLs. But, if you're running out of BLs to watch (like me), I wouldn't say it's the worst option, especially if you enjoy things like Junjou romantic or things like that. All in all, the plot was good and it jumped around a lot in the story, the relationships were emotional but didn't really have enough screen time, decent Bl, just not the best IMO.

Preliminary (2/4 eps)

don't read if you don't want spoilers

I thought this anime was gonna be really good judging by the first episode I enjoyed it I would've given it a 9 or 10 although when I watched episode two I was just really disappointed disgusted even so I dropped it halfway through if you're a pedophile I recommend this anime specifically episode 2 halfway through. I thought they would both have a cute father-son relationship but they both just ended up having sex instead this is like Boko no pico level bullshit right here fuck this anime it gets way too much hype. By the way, I ... know the hybrid child isn't an actual human and it's just an object but it's still so wrong since he looks like a child whilst doing it with an adult. they honestly should have continued with the previous couple or made their relationship familial love instead of romantic love seeing a child and an adult in love just doesn't sit right with me and makes me so uncomfortable.
