Still can't get enough of your great posts. <3

I really wished that there was more Sammy in this episode... in this series as a non-android, but I'll accept what they dished out, which was just spectacular. I'm glad that they didn't shut down though.

The best part was just thinking about how TEX got down to the cafe. I kept thinking: "Don't they have stairs?" and sure enough it was hilarious with the revelation to that predicament.

I can't wait to see if Yasuhiro has anything else up his sleeve.

Did you enjoy you you time of EVE?

Yeah, thought it was kinda useless... but might help others that don't know if the episode is out of not. But I am sure somebody else would have made about the episode would have done the same thing.

Before the episode was out I thought it would be about Sammy too, didn't remember the preview from last episode. Kinda disappoint about that too.

This was a masterpiece, even by the series standards. The ending when they go to leave was a brilliant move.

I would definitely like to see this series continue. For the sake of Sammy alone, this series must continue!

But the sub-plot they introduced involving the mystery behind the cafe's, and that incident with the child... Sheesh. I want to know what it was all about!

Hmmm... a movie perhaps? =D

Busy father leaving anteroid to his little son, but is in a company who seems to hate anteroid. Ah! Masato was that little boy?

His anteroid was missing and turns out he was in the shop. He told everyone about that anteroid and his feeling. Anteroid, who was ordered by his father not to speak, spoke when he saw an anteroid in his data.

I thought Masato's anteroid is Chex because the credit it's チェクス, and not TEX.

I agree that this series was very good, but it leaves me wanting more. It seems on the surface that there is so much more that can be done with this plot. But the story is very similar to the Animatrix: Second Renaissance so I guess it is tricky. I think if they do make another series it would be best to see a future in which Robots and Humans can overcome their differences instead of one destroying the other. If it were up to me though, I'd make Pale Cocoon a feature length film before I started working on Eve no Jikan II.

Well, I can definitely say I did enjoy the time of Eve!

Can't really decide if this is one of my favourite episodes, since they were all very good, but I genuinely liked Tex and how he tried to care for Misato, while keeping on with the Robotic laws.

Makes me wonder, would it be possible to break such a law (presumable for their or someone else's own good) if no-one would ever find out, or would such a thing be physically impossible, even with great will?

I echo this sentiment exactly. I loved how we get to see the whole gang in this last episode, and how we got a bit of closure on Nagi. Though I really do wish someone would translate the headlines of those newspapers so I can better understand the incident.

Meh.. nice final ep.

But they could have done better especially during ep 3-4.

Like some of you viewers out there.. I wanted to see more of "Sammy".

I wanted to see how the protagonist would struggle with his 'dorei-kei' behaviour towards Sammy. And whether he could see Sammy as a 'person' or whatever..

The last ep was quite 'touching', but they should have presented something like that involved Sammi + Rikuo. Without letting it slide into shit like for example with Chobits..

Nice show.. but they could have done better.. meh..

I lol'd so hard when TEX couldn't make it up the stairs. I'm glad to see that they are leaving this open for more episodes. I would really like to see how the relationship between Sammy and what's his face develops. Overall, I give this series an 8 because it seems like it is just an intro to a larger story. If we ever get the rest of the story, I'll probably go back and change it to the 9 it deserves.

I've been waiting for this for months and months and well, now that it's over, it's sad. That was great, and they really could have expanded on it. Maybe, if we're lucky, it'll have a second go. Even though the installments might be slow coming sometimes, they are always the best when it comes to quality and story. I'll miss the series.

I'm a bit sad that it's over now but I think it ended fairly well, so I'm satisfied with the series. There was a decent amount of immediate closure, while leaving the "behind the scenes" story wide open for a second season.

This was the most touching episode of this series. I loved the history of Masakazu and Tex.
Eve no Jikan sure is an outstanding anime, not only because it's animation quality is great, but it's also touches quite an important issue (relationships between humans and robots)

It would be great if there were a second season, but I think that ending was good and it would be a shame if they had somehow spoiled such a great anime.

9/10 from me:)

It was an ok series. Though the characters weren't very memorable and they didn't go into nearly enough detail in ANY of the stories(especially Sammy and Rikou) for this kind of overall plot imo. Those two things really held me back from rating it any higher than a 7.

Loved this. Best bit was probably when the heartfelt music started after Masaki talked with Tex, and then he bumped on the stairs.

The Nagi thing was quite interesting as well.

The series posed quite a few decent moral questions about AI, which interested me a bit, since i'm an AI student right now. It was definitely a good watch, but i'd have liked a bit more, although i'm not sure if that would actually have been a good thing. The conciseness is part of the charm, i think.

Very much so, this was one of the best short series I have ever seen. This last episode was extremely emotional, I really felt a connection with Masaki where before he was really more of a background character. I thought it was great when the broke the heavy emotional tension when bringing up how TEX was able to get in, which I was wondering myself.

This series did a great job of exploring many possible social situations if androids ever become prominent in society. Having "The End?" was a nice touch because I really want to see more of this. 9/10, possibly masterpiece if once I think about it more.

Touching episode. Definitely worth the wait.
But I'm still wanting for more. I mean, emotionally, I still am. My heart breaks that I won't see anymore.
Even though they announced that there's a movie coming out later. I want more! lawl

Just when I've finally found myself getting attached to Sammy. Lawl
I also like the part when Rikuo's sister was "sleeping" on the couch and Sammy started talking normally and they both end up conversing about Masakazu. It makes you wonder what she was thinking at the time. Since, at the end of the episode, she seems to become a lot friendlier at Sammy by giving her a flower and putting it on her hair.

I'm torn over a 9 or a 10. The show was fantastic, loved every episode, but it really felt like the story was just starting. There's some holes left, especially those introduced in this episode, and I really hope they make more.

Just as I was coming to this conclusion, I saw "The End?" :P

The little girl victim was the women that runs the cafe. I'm actually surprised the creator didn't make his



For those of you that didn't understand the subplot here's how I understand it.
The anti-robot group was once a radical group and like most radical groups they do anything they can to prove a point. In their case it was how robots cant be trusted. Apparently their radicalness led to an injury. Throughout the episode we're led to believe that a human was injured by a robot but at the end we find out that the anti-robot group where the ones that hurt a little girl and the matter was covered up. Their leader was forced to step down as a result of this and the group's activity's stayed silent.

What's more interesting is that rule #1138 may actually mean that Time of Eve (equality between humans and robots)might be a requirement for all robots.

I really enjoyed this series, the animation, story and music were gorgeous. Almost shed a tear on the scene with Masaki and Tex (and I've never ever been close to tearing from anything I've watched). I guess the music and the way it was delivered hit my heart. =P

Looks like they have a lot more story to go, which would explain the "plot holes." Hopefully there will be a second season, I will be sure to watch it. =)
