Holy wow… MC is hard to watch. OP is by Tokino Sora so I want it to become a hit, but I don’t know if I can warm up to that type of MC.
Yeah, this only adapts the first chapter of the manga and Takuma kinda sucks here. I had kind of forgotten that this is how we are introduced to his character because it feels so different than how he acts in the rest of the story. Like, the obsessing over Mina is always there, but the drinking and overall patheticness are dialed back going forward and it is much more of just a romance.
What are your thoughts on Mina’s voice? Unlike Mina, I have mixed feelings about it. I am hoping that I get more used to it as time goes on.
That gives me hope. Honestly, if not for the OP I would have dropped it midway through.
I don’t have any particular thoughts on her voice though. She sounded a bit “robotic” but it’s about what I’d expect here. I guess her voice will shift slowly toward the more natural spectrum as she grows more human over time. The same for her expression. At least that’s what I would do if I had a say in the production.
Yeah…I was excited for this one since I really like the manga. However, my excitement has dropped a bit after the first episode. I am not sure if I am going to get used to the Mina voice or not. I hadn’t watched any of the PVs before diving in since I knew this was one I was going to check out already, but…yeah…will take some getting used to. This might be one of those things that is done better in the manga format, where the dialog boxes are shaped differently to denote that Mina is speaking:
Otherwise, this episode only adapts the first manga chapter, establishing the premise. Now that we got Takuma’s pathetic phase out of the way, we can focus on the actual fun part of the story. Reading into the OP and ED, it looks like we are going to get a pretty full cast of characters. However, some notable absences from the characters we see that I welcome:
Manga Spoilers
The robot research club students don’t seem to appear in the OP/ED which I find great because I think their part of the story is the weakest.
Looking forward to see where this goes and I am hoping that the Mina voice won’t bother me as much going forward.
Not really sure about this one so far. The animation was great and Takuma’s characterization was strong (personally I didn’t find his patheticness a turnoff), but the setup just feels very uncomfy to me. I understand that the story is about a classic scifi premise of “can robots love”, but currently it just feels like this man is so lonely that he’s developing an unhealthy attachment to a person-shaped appliance that has run calculations and concluded that reciprocating his feelings will help it complete its tasks better. I understand that the show wants us to see her as a person, and maybe it will give us reasons to do so later, but IMO a textual reading of the first episode doesn’t give me any right now, and the whole situation is giving me horror / black mirror vibes, which kills the light and fluffy vibe they seem to be shooting for (for me).
For just the premiere, I give it a very mixed 3/5. I’ll see how i feel next week and maybe give it another episode.
