Eve no Jikan

The best way to experience this show is by watching episode 4 and episode 4 only. It takes the premise of "humans and robots should be treated as equals" and uses it in a clever, unique and genuinely funny way. Had each episode been as good as that one, I'd probably be rating this show around an 8/10.

Sadly, episodes 2, 3 and 5 are unbearably boring and full of countless cliches to the extent that they completely ruin the show for me. The first and last episodes aren't much better but are at least watchable by comparison. The main things holding this series back are: ... dull visuals, uninteresting episode plots, horribly bland characters and half-assed ideas leaving you question believability of the show's universe.

I don't hate this show, so much as I wish it was a whole lot better. It has occasional moments of genius (meaning 2 or 3 moments) but ultimately left me feeling unenthralled and disappointed.

First of all this show seemed to me more like a propaganda than anything else, its premise is something like Toy Story or the Cogito Virus from Ergo Proxy but instead the androids keep following the laws of Asimov, so they develop their own personalities with their own desires that they only can manifest in certain areas but always attached to their owners good.

There are a few interesting moments in the show for example when 2 androids trick each other into making the other one believes they're humans instead but overall they are all portrayed as one sided good beings bearer of "hearts", it's just ... too cringe how the authors tried to make a androids cause of this, there are other latent conflicts that are just lost potential, they are there but never emerge to the surface, like the problem of humans interacting too much with the androids and the demography decrease, the people concerned with this are fast paced portrayed like some emotionless boomers that just dislikes robots for no reason and even distrust them despite owning them.

The episodes are too short to be boring and most of the time there is nothing appalling too until the end, the very few humans that the show presents us are dull and empty, being no better than the androids as characters, all that's left is a sense of emptiness and unpurpose.
