| Oh dear, this series is probably gonna get really sad. The concept was quite interesting and so far i'm enjoying it, but I have a feeling it's just a matter of time before Tsukasa is gonna have to say goodbye to Isla.. This can't end well. |
 |
| Oh god....a sad anime...right off in first episode. I don't know if I would be able to hold it in throughout the whole series. Like it so far. |
 |
| I like this show, but I can see the tragic ending already :( |
| Hi there |
| I like the concept of this show. Pretty emotional first episode. |
 |
| that was a pretty good 1st episode. i can see where the story's heading and it doesn't seem to be going in a happy direction |
| So what happens if the androids stay too long anyway? Will they crazy and start killing people? |

As for the episode, being the heartless wretch that I am, I'm not one to bawl after a single episode. Doesn't help when said episode was chock full of silly elements including a piss joke at the very end moments after a "heartbreaking" retrieval. Probably going to bail on this eventually |

ryuixyui said: This may be the Anime of the year. So long as it doesn't introduce some ridiculous plots and no fairy tales endings. It will be the next Clannad or Chobits and probably will be part in future top ten greatest anime you never watch in years to come. Maybe this can even become the next Evangelion because many Anime that are original are apparently bad. Afterall, this season is already full of anime that are generic, cliché or just plain full of fanservice which are bad. Can't do anything since oppai sells. Also, a little humor doesn't kill an anime Seraph or Kekkai. This show would be a great runner-up though. |

| Wow, that was amazing! Good comedy moments like Isla´s failed jump and heart-touching scenes like the ending. The BMG and animations are also pretty good. I´m hyped now. This could be an amazing anime, can´t wait for the next episode. I almost cried at the end.... T^T |
| Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here! My Anime List  |
| Those feels caught me off-guard, damn. I like how it gets so sad, so depressing and then that it is able to get a smile out of my face right after this. If it keeps a good balance of "feels" and comedy, it will be a great watch. They've got something good there I feel. |
| First episode already had me on the verge of tears.. Still seems like it will be a good anime. |
 |
| Oh man, this had emotions, even stirred them in me. I love the concept, but I need more information and back story. Are these android organic or metallic? or a combination of both? How is the CPU of an android work in this case? I'm gonna take out my monocle and study this very carefully as we go along. |
| *Too complicated to cared* |
| If the rest of the season plays out like the first episode, it looks like I might have found my next feels trip show |
| Get your shit straight Brenda |
| This show seems to have some potential, but I won't get my hopes up. Not much to say about the characters, but some seem like they can go places. (Especially the white haired girl and her previous partner. The main character is generic though, but the tsundere girl is more toned down from her archetype, which is nice. Not much to say about the rest). The execution was well done, a lot gets quickly explained while still maintaining the emotional elements. A little melodramatic, but nothing too over the top. I'm mainly worried that they'll have more out of place comedic scenes like at the ending though. That totally ruined the atmosphere. The lack of in-your-face fanservice was a plus. For the plot, I can easily predict where this is gonna go with the white haired girl. Overall impressions: Predictable plot, ok characters, but harmless overall. Good for watching just for fun, but nothing deep. 6/10 slightly above average |
| I'd go with emobubbles, but someone else already had it, damn bastard. |
| Whoa, I am really glad that I decided to watch this series. Definitely a lot more emotional than I expected (though I did have no idea what to expect). This looking like the hidden gem of the season for me. Isla is quite adorable and funny. xD I think I can see how this series is going to end. The feels will be real. D: |
 |
| Overall pretty good so far. The sadness/feels does seems a bit forced though. I mean it isn't subtle at all since it appears we will be seeing goodbye "death" scenes of various families every episode and probably follow our "dying" main heroine up until her end. I don't mind being "forced" into the feels somewhat, but I hope they don't overdo it. |
| Very interesting series, and touching first episode. Looks like its hinted that Isla has passed her time limit or something right? Lol at that retarded jump. I'm not sure if I really like Amamiya Sora doing the monotone voice thing, hopefully it grows on me Good watch |
 |
| Interesting. Seems like this one's for feels. |
 |
| God damn that was a sad episode T-T Isla is my favorite character so far :D |

| Wow what a good starting chapter, thanks god i picked this up. I cried in the last moments... hope they keep up the level in the next chapters! |
| great pilot episode reminds me of a cross between chobits and eve no jikan. I hope it keeps going in this slice of life direction. This will probably pan out to be a depressing series but I like it thus far. |
| I wasn't expecting much at all deciding to watch this. The ending caught me off guard. Also... Where did my manliness go ;_; |
| so sad. much sad. :c |
 |
| The story of this anime should make it be one of the best of the season , but this ridiculous timing to introduce comedy ended it all . It seems Shigatsu Wa ! To focus on one genre, studios . |

| Anime nowadays only tries to excel in visual and sound, but the thing that is the most basic, story, characters are still the same or sometimes even worst. It needs to be more mature, more humanity, more grounded in reality, otherwise at best it's just a good "fast-food" product that you see everywhere. Bad move, Plastic Memory, you remind me too much of Planetes, now you have a tough order to fill. |
| Yo Anime original? not set in a high school setting with the characters being android repo men sign me up even with it's bright visuals i got a strong feeling this show might me cry some manly tears near the end if this turns out the way i think it will,hell even by the end i almost got teary androids showing more emotion than some humans got to me man~ ;-; please be good for the rest of the season! |
 |
| Did we really need a pee joke after a super emotional moment? |
| ^They definitely need to get better at balancing the comedy and the emotional scenes. That aside, very strong first episode. Maybe the strongest of the season so far. |
| Excellent start, already beginning showing a exciting love story, I am very curious as to how will the relationship between Tsukasa and Isla, not to mention the plot that will present quite dramatic points about the relationship between humans and androids I really liked the personality of the protagonists, Tsukasa already of beginning seems to be kind and gentle and Isla slightly mysterious but very fun, seems to be a good basis for a romance Well, I was very excited about the first episode, surely I will accompany, even in a season with many anime that call attention even before they start, I'm putting high expectations in this anime, I think it can be among the best of the season .. |

DmonHiro said: I'm not sure which is the more disturbing and likely possibility: that something sadly debilitating happens to them (along the lines Kowarekake no Orgel), or that absolutely nothing happens at all.So, when androids go past their service time, the software goes bad? Aipom said: Personally, I'd think that a government would want to put stricter time limits on these things. What if people really could buy a companion who never ages, doesn't suffer from human ailments, and is not discernible from real humans? How long would real humans last?Why would anyone buy basically a human, knowing that it will die 9 years later? And why aren't there some stricter regulations by the government to prevent owners from refusing the retrievals? And the company that makes and sells these things -- I'm not sure that selling an item that truly lasts forever is a good business plan. But, hey, OS upgrades are readily available on a set schedule, for a price. This show will likely go the predictable route and still be very good, similar to Orgel. I'm sort of hoping for the darker possibility. |

| I don't think this series is gonna end with a bittersweet feeling. Do remember that the MC told Granny she could always bring her back minus the memories. And Isla is actually keeping a diary with her so by the end even if she gets terminated, they could always bring her back and show her the diary. |

| Very emotional first episode. A nice balance of drama and comedy, although I feel like the last bit was just a mood killer. Right now, the only question I have is "How old is Isla? How much longer does she have?" |

Eh. but when they revive her she'll be in a blank state no memories whatsoever or something. So showing her the diary and telling her who she was isn't gonna be a problem. and i bet that's the exact reason she has a diary to begin with. Either way it could go both ways a sad ending or an ending along this line |
| Show looks good. The glare on the characters heads is kind of distracting to me though. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| i cried on the 1st episode.... prepare for the feels :( |
| If Yasuhiro Yoshiura and Makoto Shinkai had a love-child, it'd be Plastic Memories. Really hit me right in the feels. |
| Looks like the feels are coming with this one... |
