| Wow. Didn't expect so much feels. ;-; I hope the feels won't get less feelsy over time x) |
 |
| Good episode, this anime is definitely going to be a tear jerking and emotional one :( |

| Yup, this is going to be a sad one. |
| Not really unexpected with a premise where our main characters are effectively grim reapers but...damn that was sad, and if the first episode was that sad I can only imagine how rough the rest will be. I'm already beginning to wonder how long Isla's got left in her lifespan since we know she's been around for years...wouldn't be shocked if the last episode(s) dealt with that. This one's gonna be a challenge to watch though, emotionally I mean. |
| That was a great first episode. I also found it very sad but with this we could already see how the rest of the series will be like (probably). I like that they did it in the first episode already because from the preview I also thought this might be a boring harem series... good that I was wrong. animefan8800 said: I'm already beginning to wonder how long Isla's got left in her lifespan since we know she's been around for years...wouldn't be shocked if the last episode(s) dealt with that. I'm suspecting the same thing... |
 |
| That was quite interesting. I hope they will dwell emotionally deeper and not just sort of leaving it on the surface |
 |
| Well that was great! It has cute characters, an interesting set up, a chance to explore lots of emotions and about what it means to be human, while still maintaining the humor that prevents the series from getting too sad. Definitely glad I started this one. It's going to be an interesting ride! Even though I'll probably end up bawling. |
| Interesting. Need more episode to make a comment... |

Imperial_Thunder said: I would like it if the characters didn't look like every other character you'd see in a harem anime and if the emotions didn't feel so forced. The characters are made of stereotypes, can't take it seriously. |
| I think I set myself to be heartbroken, while my pieces gets stomped as the episode goes on... I find the Giftia idea to be kind of ridiculous. The owners are already setup for drama upon having a giftia with a short lifespan. But this is really interesting. I wonder how MC and the others will do. isla is already like a ticking time bomb full of feels. Itss only a matter of time till her time is up. Despite me staying away from drama, I want to watch one for a change. Also I don't like Kazuki and Michiru. |

| shit man... This is one of those rare examples of a pilot episode that wraps itself up so nicely it could've and maybe even should have been a single episode OVA without losing a single thing. Both retrievals were strangling my heartstrings. I didn't have high expectations for this due to the constant Time of Eve comparisons, but this was was just beautiful and has so much potential to far exceed Time of Eve. Isla is adorable, and like everyone else said, it's easy to see how this'll end. ;__; |

| Nice. It got pretty emotional. Some didn't like the peeing joke at the end but I thought it gave a bittersweet feeling to the end. My only issue is that the MC seems unremarkable. |
| A decent job I would say with regard to drawings and animations; the color design is not bad but not very pleasing me. Sets no evil, characters yet to be assessed; I do not want to make mistakes zeroing in on things that need to be evaluated and well beyond. Narration and pleasant though short, was very full of feelings; behold snatch a loved one is really a bad thing in this case; while knowing in advance the day when this person you will be removed, it is still painful. I hope to develop the story well. |
 |
| What a first episode ! I was laughing and some minutes after that i was crying. It was so emotional ! and that music at the end too T_T |
  |
| Actually humans go through exactly what these androids have to go through. - Forgetting memories - Changing personality - Limited lifespan - Saying goodbye to loved ones These things remind me of ageing and dementia. |
| Oh boy This will be a sad one |
 |
| Wow, now that's how you make a grand first impression. I really liked the offset of the lingering melancholic atmosphere and the comedy, Isla is adorable. I had heard this started off with some feels but that ending still got to me, the bittersweet farewells look like they're only going to get tougher as time goes on. |
 |
| i guess it's the first time i watch something from Doga Kobo and so far i liked a lot the animation. The story seem pretty interesting and at the same time very sad. I hope i don't cry a lot in this anime hahahah. I'm curious to see what will happen to Isla when she became old and obsolete. |
| I hope this series goes somewhere, Isla is a so kawaii~ |
 |
| It seems like a good start of tear-maker episode. I love how humour and drama keep up together especially Isla's face in car after Nina's gotten away from obaa-chan. I wasn't expecting such thing. Good, though. |
 |
| Wow, powerful first episode! I actually felt pretty sad for the characters at the end, there. Looking forward to where this series goes. |
| Ending was sad. |

 |
| Damn I never expected that the first episode would make me cry. |

My reaction to this fuckin episode  |
| This is rather interesting ... and emotional. I'm very curious what happens to a Giftia after surpasses the expiration date. Is it going berserk or something? |
 |
| Oh man this was an impressive first episode, didn't expect this from the name/cover! I sure am surprised about the quality and I do wonder what kind of story it will offer us. |
 |
| Seems to be a very fun anime. An anime revolves around android and memories. Android who can feels and cry. I feel bad for that old couple saying goodbye for an almost 10 years together. Whenever there's a granny and small kid sad moments, the feels hit me like a truck. For the MC, we got the nice main guy, a quite funny cute android best girl, a tsundere, a boy, a too nice android, and a scary boss girl. Isla is too cute. Funny with her stupid acts. That tea and those foods are funny as hell! From that cries of Isla, it seems that her time is almost up... |
 |
| Not really liking the pacing. This would have been better if it was 2 episodes instead of 1. That way it would take the time to set up the premise and get us invested in the world they're living in, and then hit us with a dramatic scene the next episode. Here the whole thing just feels distant. Also, I really don't like how they pulled the "love at first sight" card at the beginning. |
| Isla's facial expression are so cute. I like her already. On the feels side, I agree. The 2nd half of the episode was too sad to watch. The grandma's reasons for not wanting to talk at first were understandable. Saying good bye to family who is close to passing away or in this case passing away due to service time going bad is even much harder. I was a bit hesitant to start on this show for some reason. |
 |
| I really don't mind sci-fi and slice-of -life settings in one though I would get used to it (it just seems a little weird at first...). Though I feel like Tsukasa and Isla might work out well as a pair (though it is a little weird that I can kind of tell on how the show ends...) and I really like Isla's character design. Will keep watching. |
| Promising first episode. I really liked it |
 |
| THE FUCKING FEELS |

| Wow, I didn't expect to get slammed with how obviously sad this is going to be in the first episode. The soundtrack really pulled everything together too. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, even if I kind of can see the end..... It's the journey that matters though, right? |
| This was made by Steins Gate writer so I have high hopes for it. It was a good first episode and I really like the sci-fi/ futuristic city feel to it. |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| I know how final episode look like. Isla will die, right?? I didn't cry much when Nina is retrived. So sad no OP and ED. 3.4/5 |
 |
| First anime to make me cry in the first episode. I expect a lot more tears. |
 |
| You know the anime is great when it almost makes you tear in the first episode with like no character development at all. |
 |
| I can tell that this show will be pretty heart wrenching later on. I don't know if I'll be ready for that. |
 |
| I'm not looking forward for a heartwrench, that's for certain. But will it be worth it? I'd watch a series with a funny cast like that, but they obviously putting a lot of drama here together with comedy. I wouldn't like to watch it just to be heartbroken in the end. The're making Isla so cute, just to kill her, don't they? |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| YESSSSS!!!! Piss (hue-hue) poor comedy scene right after a overly serious melodramatic moment that just got introduced just a few minutes before it happened. Its Charlotte all over again! Glorious schlock awaits. |
