Review of Time of Eve

Time of Eve is wonderful short six-episode OVA, that despite not having the greatest visual or audio fidelity even for it's time, manages to flesh out it's interesting characters and explore actual themes even on it's meager crowdfunded budget. More so than 99% of the seasonal anime that get produced with a budget 50 times larger. As expected of a story about androids, themes about humanity are explored but not any way that feels redundant or tedious. Characters say and behave in interesting ways and the entire premise of the show, a cafe which self-aware androids attend in a clandestine manner, provides a vehicle throughwhich many thought-provoking, introspective moments may be had.

I thoroughly recommend this show to anyone seeking something beyond generic seasonal Idol, Isekai, etc anime. It delivers all one could ask of an OVA, especially on the budget it was produced with, and I think the only negative emotion I felt in my time with this show was some mild disappointment that there wasn't more.
