| 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. |
| Kinda cringe, but I'll see how it develops |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Kinda disappointed they didn't make two different versions of the ED. Her in it seems like a spoiler. |
| 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?)  |
 |
| It's not a bad start, and I think it's pretty cute. |
 |
| This guy is cringe and the robot creeps me out. Still, I think this anime will be important to watch. This is the near future, after all. |

| @Nirinbo Huh. Well I didn't notice that and now its going to bother me LOL. I would have had fun laughing at the people arguing about the robots age. |
| What is this guy? I didn't know this. This kind of degenerating 😱😱😱 |
 ...morning, afternoon & evening and time is slipping away... |
| 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. |
| Damn, the portrayal of male loneliness seems to be geniuene and hits in the feels. |
 |
| 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 |
 |
| 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? |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| 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!"

| @maraviax To think the Wayans did the same but better |

| I like it so far but mainly just feels kinda sad at this point.

| oh is this the future of this world? Ah yes robot waifu. cute start, interesting concept but a bit cringy indeed. i just hope nothing happens to Mina-Chan at the end of the season. i won't skip Goddess Sora's opening song fr, ED song is one of the best this season and will be on my spotify playlist. |
