A sad and lonely guy who mistakes programming for affection. Dude! Really?

I don't care how 2md hand she was, she had to be more money than rent at a better apt. And why is she so damn short? She can't even reach the countertop like she's a child robot that reprogrammed to do chores.

If she has an actual personality like most robot girls in anime (Chi) then maybe but if she's just gonna be a humanoid smart rice maker, it feels kinda weird?

I quite enjoyed that, we’ll have to see where it goes but this is an interesting start. Hopefully by the end Mina can get a human body upgrade or something like in Love Flops.

I did notice something interesting in the MAL character list which I’ll put in a spoiler tag just in case.

"I wonder if a cooking and dish washing robot with a pretty face is what having a wife is like." Oh Japan. Right now this is definitely pretty sad in a similar way to Helpful Fox. I'll give it another to see if Mina's development is going anywhere. Or maybe I won't once more things start airing.

This is not the first series exploring 'in love with android' theme but something feels really wrong.
May be they've managed to hit uncanny valley with design or story or something. Just can not dig it.

This probably will be adressed later on like in the manga, where she surprises Takuma with an upgrade:

I don't know how I feel about this anime.. I guess I will watch a few more episodes and go from there
@Kai200X Same here ... cringe, weird, silly, amusing, perverse.

I'll keep watching to see how far it goes with Mina and her sex-deprived, horny "husband."

Finally another actual transgressive romance, rather than just a vanilla one decorated to look the part.

There's little more to say other than this is pretty close to the epitome of the type of series I love - My core ideal, bread and butter, and how I stumbled into anime in the first place.

This wasn't exactly what I was expecting from the adaptation..
I wish some studio like Bind got to adapt it instead.
The directing feels lackluster and the art style and MC's voice acting take away the matureness the anime could have had.

Might still keep watching because I love the manga

Not bad. The biggest hurdle will be not getting stale and repetitive after a few episodes.

Minor gripe: apparently, beating the you know what allegations was more important than internal logic (is the footstool even necessary?)

romance has always been a mix of cute and cringe, but the show has a mc simping to his own robot, so that's an extra dose of cringe to me. other than that, a fine start

I don't think the title is quite right based on 1st episode, the wife shown plenty of emotions so far. Anything else just par for the course.
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

So this is the first romcom anime I've watched with the FMC being a robot housemaid (haven't watched Chobits yet) and NGL Mina is a bit creepy with that blank stare, metal neck, not moving her lips when she talks, and also grabbing the guy's hand forcibly (like she could kill him anytime she wants). Nonetheless I'm intrigued and curious to see how this plays out.

Holy peak fiction. They really hit a nice balance where sometimes it feels like he is just alone surrounded by machines, and other times Mina feels like an actual character. Bro really going for that CLANK CLANK CLANK action

The character designs are pretty cute... The OP is also cute... I think the whole thing is adorable ahahaha xD it would be cool if robots like Mina actually existed. If only....

"It's just like talking to a rice cooker" okay that's really funny to be honest x"D well, Mina is basically a robot so.... but it feels like a hopeless life... falling in love with a robot... but Mina is so cute...

I really like the ED

Well, it looks interesting, the protagonist is the typical "coward" but strangely, at least in this first episode I didn't dislike him, I'll have to see how this develops.

The topic of Mina perhaps being conscious would be very interesting.

It's a fairly low quality adaptation, which I mean I've been expecting so its whatever. Its a shame but what can you do, it was still an enjoyable episode and I'm going to keep watching. I like the characters and the situations they're in enough to pull through.

Anyway like what are the people complaining about this expecting? It's a robot romance and you're complaining about it being a robot romance.

When I first heard about this anime I thought it was about a relationship with an introverted girl. Was let down when I found out she was a robot but still gave the episode a chance.

It's not a slapstick comedy romance, so they're taking this romance a bit more seriously. Which comes the unfortunate side effect of making this more disturbing than what it was intended to be. Maybe if they played that angle a bit more then we might get some substance for this story and not Chobits-level disturbing. Not playing any nude robot fanservice fetish or any of those "Fembot = Sex doll" yet was actually a plus to me (Looking at you Mahoromatic)

Though I have to ask: Did Mina lie about the beer when she crushed the cans to make Takuma stop drinking?

The core concept of this show seems quite similar to the Swedish scifi show "Äkta människor" (British remake, "Humans") though of course it's a Japanese anime with only two characters so far in it.

OP and ED were great, everything else was just alright.

I really need to see some of the other characters from the OP before I can judge this one one way or the other.

Unless the MC can download a "personality" update, there's really nowhere for the show to go if it focuses on just the two characters we met in Episode 1.

It's kind of a difficult place to be when your title mentions an emotionless person because said person either remains emotionless (and never grows) or they gain emotion (and end the series).

No, computers cannot love, they're just machines. They are not sentient nor salient and only mimic human behaviors, they aren't alive.

THAT SAID it's still a cute idea! Her mouth not moving is a genius character design. She's already harmed her master twice, very UN-robot like, eh? And disobeyed him too. She's more than meets the eye for sure.

Best robot show? Half Broken Music Box (Kowarekake no Orgel)
Best robot? Nuku Nuku! (ok, she's an all-purpose android with a cat's brain, but close enough!) Bannou Bunka Neko-Musume

The cringe in this one is strong. We've got a protagonist who is so socially inept that he gets shy talking to a robot. And apparently gets drunk off of one sip of beer. Anime really does try to portray the Japanese male as being utterly pathetic. I get that this is supposed to be "cute", but its just sad.

He's going to bang his vacuum cleaner isn't he? "I TOLD YOU NOT TO BOTHER ME WHILE IM CLEANING MY ROOM!"

Generally this was a good first episode, surprisingly good animation and pretty funny.

Mr snake eyes isn’t anything to special for an mc but I like him, Mina is pretty fun with how emotionless she is. I’m curious to see if she’ll develop into maybe having some form of emotions

Well shit, I haven't watched the 1st episode yet, I want to watch this but this started with a rating of 6.54 and clearly, this isn't good so I don't know if I'm even going to bother with this anime.

And yes, I know that ratings are mostly bullshit around here but at least MAL is consistent with animes with a rating below 7, if something is below 7 then the anime is bad, I haven't encountered an anime below 7 that I like, all of them are bad and because of this, I don't know if I'm even going to bother with this anime.

I will wait and see if the rating improves in this anime to a 7.3 minimum or something, if the rating doesn't improve then fuck it, I'm not wasting my time with this.

This is why i like soft robotics better. They cant crush you to death so easily or get you pinched in metal pieces.

This made my heart flutter in just one episode, I wasn’t prepared for that (//∇//). The episode was so heartwarming and lovely, I loved it so much especially the bonding between Mina and Takuma that was shown in first episode, it was wholesome. The episode started with Mina(a housework robot) cooking as usual for Takuma and served him omurice and this time not just any omurice ifkyk(≧∀≦).
While Mina was cooking omurice for Takuma, he said “ Think you’d be okay with being my wife ” and then Mina started staring at him as if she understood what he wanted to express. Later, Takuma got drunk and Mina made him drink a lot of water so he wouldn't get dehydrated and to flush out the toxins ingested by him and it was really lovely to see her take care of him; she also poured all the remaining beer down the sink so he couldn't drink any more (≧∀≦) Haha! after that, drunk Takuma asks Mina “How do you feel about me? What am I to you?” Mina replies “You are my husband” Takuma responds “why?” Mina replies “You told me before to become your wife, Becoming a wife means entering into a marital relationship.” (//∇//) then Mina takes Takuma to the futon because he was drunk and wasn’t able to go on his own thereafter Takuma asks Mina to sleep together and tells her “Married people sleep together” Mina resists telling “For high-quality sleep, you need to have adequate space” still he continued to persistently ask her to sleep together and she accepts to sleep together with him. Afterwards while sleeping together Takuma tells Mina that her eyes are scary, close them (in a sweet way) and says “Just having you next to me, makes me super happy”^^. Next morning, Takuma wakes up and sees that Mina’s eyes are squinted (as if she was angry about what he said last night) and remembers what he said last night and then says “Last night when I said your eyes were scary, you were staring at me from inches away… and what l meant was, it made my heart pound. You have very pretty eyes, so...” then Mina serves him the breakfast and opens her eyes as if she fully understood what he meant to say.
This first episode made my heart pound so hard(๑>◡<๑) and I am worried what will happen to my heart when i complete this anime \(//∇//)\
I am really excited for the next episode.
Overall the animation was great and art style was really nice. The japanese voice actors did their job magnificently. OP and ED are true masterpieces as well.
