Story(6) : The plot, as I said, is awesome. The protagonist pair works at a place that is responsible for renewal and recruiting of mechanic-humans or "Giftias", machines that have emotions. The "Giftias expire their functionality partially after 10 years and if the recruiters or re-collectors fail to do so, they have deadly behaviours and turn to a power-packed-destroyer machine. But later the story becomes a cliché. You will be able to predict the very end of the animé by the mid-way. Plot started off really well but failed to keep going.
Art(8) : The animation is awesome! More than just watch-able and sleek.
Sound(5) : The opening and end are barely "ok". Nothing awesome about songs. Background sounds are nothing great. Seiyuu team did a great job though.
Character(8) : The characters are awesome! There are girls with all type of 'deres', especially 'Tsundere'. There are some cool senpai of the protagonist, with mild but striking personalities. The development of bonds between each character is really great.
Enjoyment(4) : I enjoyed the animé first 2 episodes greatly but then it turned out to be a drag. Yeah! Like a real Shikamaru's 'What a drag'. If you like romance genre then the end might amuse you more than it did to me. Its a lot of emotional animé.
There are some messages and ideas this animé conveys, which I'd really like to tell if you are planning to watch the animé :
"You know someone close to you is going to meet the end of life, what will you do to make them live their rest of the life to the fullest?"
"What if machines/robots had feelings?"
"Your life can end any time now"
"You’ve to get separated from your loved one for their sake"
"The people gone may never come again."
"When people change irreversibly"
"The battle of pretending to be strong in front of your loved one, you’re going to lose"
and so on...
The animé is kinda sad but the plot is worth checking out. You can connect to the characters you see and randomly feel an overwhelming amount of sadness. But it is a romantic animé which will past your seven hours of day easily.
One thing I want to make clear about is that you will never get bored in this animé and will appreciate the genre too. That's it!
