‘A path where you find love’

[Story]

The story revolves on the life of a country boy named Hideki. He moves to Tokyo just to study at cram school and serves as a preparation on the next university exams. As soon as the story goes on, he encounters unusual events, meeting new people and doing perverted acts. The period of time here can be compared as ours though all of us can access Internet and have invented new technology. In the case of the series they also have great technology that levels the intelligence as humans, they call it ‘persecoms’.

The main attraction of the story would be romance, comedy, drama and a little ecchi. The series also contains sci-fi that serves uniqueness to it. Thinking that a robot and a human can really develop affection to each other is quite a fantastic view to watch. Well it might be in some terms.

The romance between them is quite good but it somewhat lacks depth that brings disappointment. They create a good plot but it still needs a lot more than that to be able to bring real romance. The comedy of characters is mediocre though to be able to see them as ignorant in some terms it became hilarious but in the end it’s being repetitive, it became boring and predictable. The drama is a good to see as the feelings and emotions of characters are shown enthusiastically to others. The ecchi, which adds a little funny moment to the story but it’s not that helpful enough to lift excitement.

It’s a well-developed anime that lacks on something, which causes downfall effects on the whole series.

[Art & Animation]

Nothing is bad or great about the art and animation, just as simple as it is. The art is quite beautiful, the background, the scenery, and the people are in its simple way and the concept of different persecoms is quite good and attracting. The animation is executed well. The feelings and emotions are shown the way it was but the depth of it is just another question to it.

[Sound]

Maybe the best feature in this anime is the sounds. A very catchy tune will come up on every exciting and bizarre scene. A catchy melodic OP song that will hook you up and will push you on seeing the contents of it. Also the ED song gives a catchy tune that serves likely as a continuation of the OP song, surely a wonderful sounds to hear.

[Character]

Hideki is a pervert who likes hentai magazines, porn sites and thinking unthinkable thoughts. While Chii is a persecom who likes Hideki’s wants, Hideki’s stuff, and most of all Hideki. When you combine it, do you ever think that there will be chemistry between them? Maybe not… The character development of it is rather okay to enjoy but the upper is not the main but it has something to do with the other characters that gives some nice impression as worth watching.

[Enjoyment]

Even though they are some few exciting scenes, it’s quite enjoyable to watch as a whole. The art & animation, the plot, and most of all the sounds are rather okay to be contented but the lacking of depth and character development is quite depressing to see. Sadly to say, it has a somewhat unique plot that ended to disappointment.

[Overall]

It’s quite a mess on some of the major details but even though it has enough excitement to give.
