Series Recommendation, 'The Time of Eve'
Aug. 26th, 2012 02:10 pmThis Anime mini-series is only a few episodes but those are excellent and well-worth hunting for.
Set in the near future, robots replaced Service Industry Workers just as they did with manufacturing. Upper-Middleclass families can afford them. The time's teens grew up with robot nannies, vaguely humaniform machines. They have been just replaced with Androids who are indisinguishable from Humans, except for the holo-Ring over their heads.
Rikuo notices that their house-roid takes more than the needed time to to the errands. One day he and his best friend follow her to a cafe called, "The Time of Eve" where the house rule is NO ONE is allowed to tell WHAT they are, Androids shut off their Holo-rings in the stairwell(it's a basement cafe)....
Thought-provoking, sweet....
Cheers,
Pat
