| 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. |
| Didn't get in the tearjerking wagon unfortunately. Will have to see how the other episodes play out. |
 |
| Jeez... that was unexpected. They seriously went all out on the feels for the first episode. I'm intrigued to say the least. Excited to see what else is in store. |
 |
| So far this have my interest right now, really like how the plot is, but it's making me kinda sad :-/ |
 |
| Well this is going to be depressing. |
    |
| Gonna need another box of tissues for this series, I just used the other one up watching Planetarian. I really like anime's where I can laugh and cry. |

| First episode and I'm already crying. This looks promising. |

First episode and they want the feels to hit hard. Well, it's easy to do that when taking away something from old people, at least that always gets me. I don't know, was the first scene when Tsukasa was a kid? When He first saw Isla? I don't know. Anime characters look (and commonly are) so young that I can't grasp difference. Isla is...is a kuu but I'm not sure the best kind. The comedy relief is well received to counterbalance the feels so I'm not complaining. Another thing to note is that I liked how they didn't massive infodump us. Instead of telling us what the job consisted on, how the androids work and how they are supposed to be recovered, they showed us. |

| Oh man, I can already feel this one will be trying to make me cry as many times as possible ;_; First ep and it already succeeded. Come on, lonely elder people and crying kids are two things that ALWAYS manage to make me cry, that's too much for the very first episode dammit! Plus I already love main heroine, she's both adorable and funny. Let me guess, she dies at the end, right? I wouldn't be surprised, there were so many hints already :| Hope I'm wrong about it though, for once I actually like main girl best... |
  |
| So, a sci-fi show about androids and the feels. So far, the comedy is better than the drama. Also, there is some issues with the change of tone. Amazing animation. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Holy crap dude. I've only cried once in an anime and it was the very end of Kaede's arc in Seishun Buta Yarou (after all that character development). The first episode -watching the little girl get retrieved- almost pushed me to tears. I'm a bit pensive about committing to the rest of the series; I don't think I'll have enough tissues. Great animation too! :)))))))))))))))) |
| This was absolutely wonderful, full of emotions though. |
| I think the diary part was to show that the Giftias don't have the same reservations about keeping secret confessions that humans do. The blonde guy telling all of orange hair's info like age and work experience ties into that too. |
 |
2ego said: Well, that was a definitely promising first episode. Interesting world they're living in. It's fascinating to see people's relationships with these androids. The last car scene was hilarious, hahah. It's not all fun and games. Just throwing it out there. |
 |
2ego said: I mean, I think it's public knowledge that this is supposedly a tragic story. It's everywhere, in recommendations, etc. Oh ok lol. Keep tissues near you as a safety precaution. |
|
Hahaha lol, alright. (30 characters) |
|
| I feel like the premise has a pretty gaping hole? They're going to lose their memories/personality anyway, so why is there resistance? The service our company provides is essentially just IRL assisted suicide where we allow patients to die with some dignity. This is exactly that except we "kill" the androids before they start to malfunction etc so they can "die" while properly saying goodbye etc. In fact, scratch what I said about resistance. It does make sense that there is resistance. What our company is doing is basically forcing assisted suicide on people. Imagine how fucked up that would be irl! Unless further information changes the circumstances, any owner of one of these androids (also probably with the androids consent) should be able to sign off on whether or not we get "assisted suicide" when their "life span" is about to run out. I mean wtf right? Some ppl might be fine having memories and personality fade to some degree, whereafter you call upon the services. I guess it depends on how quickly they die. I mean if the memory is completely gone in like 2 days what's the point. I can't recall if they told us that information. Anyway I was constantly thinking about this the entire episode so it kinda distracted my emotions, but it was a touching story anyway. |

| The premise sounds depressing. All those people got attached to the androids... I think the direction this will take is quite obvious but nevertheless, I found this quite entertaining. Red-haired boss looks annoying af. |
 |
| i'll give it that, first episode was good, and seems like a pretty interesting anime overall. The plot has it's sweet moments with jokes, but i can see this being a rather dark story. Characters currently for me, seem to feel more on the iffy side rn, but i'm sure that'll change. Visuals feel about, 2015 yeh xD Nah fr tho, the visuals are decent, especially with the very creative sci-fi genre, i'm interested to see what type of ideas this studio has. Honestly i'm not surprised that this specific job can feel "unrewarding" i mean, these people are practically acting as the Farryman for androids. Ngl i can definitely foresee this job actually taking mental tolls on the characters, it's not everyday you have to convince or assist someone to let go of a loved one. Also, getting a lot of Detroit Become Human vibes from the general world this anime is set in (far-ish future, android being used for family purposes and such) which i'm pretty interested about, cus i [bl]ove[/b] Detroit Become Human for both the story and world design. |
 "yabe." |
| well, hopefully the ending to this anime isn't crazy depressing. Pretty interesting so far. |
 |
| Nice first episode although I can definitely see what's going to happen in the ending and I'm scared, but for now everything is happy! Really liked the 2nd half of this episode but the main character needs to think more. There were some funny moments which I liked, especially the doorbell part and also Michiru is amusing so I'm looking forward to this. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| What a depressing profession this is. Giftias still need to use the bathroom? Seems like a redundant function in androids, but what do I know. |

| To be fair, "at least have tea with us" would have probably worked on me, lol. |

| That was so sad. How DARE they create "artificial souls" like playing God? One, they don't even know what a soul is, two, the violation to create something only for it to suffer and be treated as a tool is just so disgusting. Artificial soul my ass, those tears were real. And so are mine :'[ One thing I'd like to add: there is a double entendre in the show's name. Plastic as in non-organic or artificial sure, but also in neuroscience we have a thing called "neuroplasticity". Not sure if it's intended but that would be cool. It means that the neuronal connections can change, break, attach; all kinds of things that lead to different outcomes in behavior, understanding, development, et cetera. The brain is a constantly evolving organ (some think that the question of sleep is deeply rooted in this). No one will read this I'm sure but if you do I hope you find it as cool as I do. |

| @StateofOhayo I actually read the latest of my favorite every few months or so, lol. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Finally starting to watch this. It'll surely be an emotional ride <_> Got some goofy moments and sadge moments already at ep 1 lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
