I suppose the plot is probably a good place to begin. Put simply the entire plot both revolves and does not revolve a singular quiet little café and scores a 1010 with ease in my book. "That makes no sense I hear you utter towards your screen' (that or i'm hearing voices inside my head) So let me explain, here the characters are all involved in a nationworld wide debate on how robots should be viewed and treated, but at the same time the anime hints and centres around the fact that various and the most basic of interactions, in somewhere such as a quiet little cafe, can make the most significant differences in the lives of everyday people (and robots - but I shouldn't differentiate between the two as per the intriguing rules of the café which helps set the basis of the anime).
Anymore and I'd be giving spoilers. But I will add that the ending is very satisfactory and well done in my opinion with most questions answered and plenty of room for more content (please by the power of god, grey skull, or anything let there be)
Characters: The characters are sublime and all have their own unique personalities. Eve no jikan excels in displaying how by negating outside social implications from people they can truely come to know and understand each-other where as they couldn't before hand. To summarise, there is a truckload of very well paced character development to be found here, especially in the two main male protagonists as they come to understand, accept and reject the world around them along with its people.
Art and sound: The art was very good and I had no problems what so-ever throughout the entirety of the anime. The sound complemented the art beautifully and set a unique air/feeling (meant in a brilliant way). I really don't think they could have done a better job.
Overall enjoyment:
I was almost immediately captivated by this anime which I will have to rewatch again in the near future. It was an anime that got me thinking but did all the thinking for me and left a slight grin on my face by the end of it. Not only does it reflect how much of a problem social stigma is but also how easy it is to overcome (and give into). Not only did it make me cry it made me smile. Not only do I view this anime to be good, I view it to be one of the greatest pieces of work I may ever see and will recommend it to anyone at the drop of a hat.
In other words this is a must see for anyone who respects good story telling and I am overwhelmed by the fact that I only came across eve no jikan by chance.
Thank you for reading, I sincerely hope this review is enough to convince you not to miss out on this great piece of work :)
