Review of Time of Eve

Title(s): Eve No Jikan Time of EVE I don't quite remember where or how I heard of this anime, and I'm really sad I don't because Eve No Jikan is something you simply cannot miss! Plot: In the future, humanoid androids are being produced every day and set in homes and the workplace for everyday situations. There is a great debate about android discrimination: about whether humans should treat their androids as robotics objects who don't covet feelings, or to treat them as humans beings. There's fear of an android uprising if one side is chosen, as well. During this time, a young high school boy by the nameof Rikuo begins to notice some strange things about his family's household android, Sammy. Sammy seems to be going somewhere every day after Rikuo comes home from school. Out of curiosity, Rikuo and his friend, Masaki, decide to secretly follow Sammy to see where she is going every day, and this is how they discover the hidden, "Time of EVE" Cafe. The rules are simple at this cafe: No android discrimination. From then on, the story revolves around their trips to the Cafe, and the quirky people they meet there. But because of the rule, who's to say if these people are humans, or androids?

Firstly, I'll say that the visuals in this are absolutely spectacular: a very nice merging between 2D and 3D. It's no wonder each episode took around 2 - 4 months to be finished and subbed! Time of EVE really did not have much of a hard-hitting plot, but it certainly was interesting. Each episode was enjoyable, because you knew that you would meet someone new each time! The downsides to this show were all based on time: each episode was shorter than a normal anime episode, with a usual running time of around 11 minutes, save for the final episode which was 17 minutes. Even more so because of the fact that this anime only has 6 episodes in total! Now, on the website they label this anime as, "Season 1" and I hear of a movie being in the works, so the good news is that we can expect more EVE goodness eventually.
Overall, this anime was a delight to watch. I would recommend it to anyone who loved, "Appleseed" or anyone who is looking for any sort of a futuristic setting in anime.

Thanks for reading this review! "Are you enjoying the Time of EVE?" ;D
