    This series is great. I had a feeling that I've seen this animation style in the past, and it turns out these are the same people who made Pale Cocoon.

    All are equal:

    Episode 4 - HorribleSubs


    - - - - - - -



    Not the best subs out there (or maybe they are until more releases come out), but the ep was damn funny. Sure it got some sadness and conflict as well since the theme was scrapping androids, but the Terminator vibe and the desperate attempts to prevent the coffee drinking and the constant malfunctioning were bloody hilarious.

    I thought that episode was pure genius. The way they played with the direction and camera angles, especially the android's internal thought screens was just superb. This OAV may just be one of the best I have ever seen, depending on how it ends. So far, my only complaint is its brevity (which may in fact be a good thing) and the length of time between releases.

    It's amazing how they explore such controversial topics in an enjoyable, but still powerful manner. The whole Terminator thing hit home. Bearing a "bare bone" appearance, it sends the message that it's not only abandoned, but crippled and stripped of everything, down to its own name.

    At first I thought the boy in said memory was the main character's friend. Probably not, considering he didn't recognise it at first, but his later reactions don't exactly rule it out neither.

    The friend most likely had a house robot during childhood that either malfunctioned or was dumped illegally.

    Awful subs. It seems like they haven't gotten any better since the last time I watched one of their subs of Kiss Dum, but apparently the subs were taken from Crunchyroll.

    Decent episode I guess. First half was slow as hell.

    awman, what an awesome episode.

    okay, so i read your "awful subs" comment before i watched it, and so i was kinda expecting bad subs, but i figured hey, they are from crunchyroll, so they can't be that bad..

    but then I started the video and it's like "Sudio Rikka", and I'm like "D:... no way."

    seriously, there's no way these subs came from crunchyroll.. and it's pretty obvious that the translator isn't a native English speaker. so maybe crunchyroll like outsources to none-english speaking people to sub their shows in english.. if these are seriously the subs they're hosting on crunchyroll 1. i'm pissed that they're treating this show so horribly. and 2. they ruined any kind of quality expectation standard i might of had for them...

    I think I'll wait then. This show's good, but not good enough to make bad subs dismissible. I've gotten used to waiting for it anyway.

    Kind of a slice-of-life ending, and a series all in all. Something was going on in the background with that nazi ethics committee, but it was left largely aside with the series ending already.

    At least it was a somewhat happy ending for Sammy so I have no complaints as such.

    I really liked this series. I'm curious as to what that mysterious incident was, but "that's another story" hopefully indicates there's more to come, showing how Eve no Jikan came to be.

    I don't know if androids have crying functions (Sammy seems to), but the streak marks on the THX model symbolically showed how much it wanted to talk to Masakazu. The lack of a mouth by design is as if there's a human forced into silence behind a mask, unable to express.

    It would be great if they had more Sami, especially in the latter parts. It wasn't nearly enough.

    Finished the show in one sitting, as it's fairly short.
    Very nice.
    I like this type of philosophical questions.

    I was just a little upset I didn't know that the movie was a compilation of the eps with more scenes/details/background... as I do not have to courage to watch the same scenes again even with added material.

    In the end, I think it was well made, a bit like a tutorial on what would be some human/android interactions.
    The art was nice, CG average. Camera movements/zooming were done nicely, but too much of it was used and I almost got sea sick at times.

    I'll probably watch the movie in the next few weeks.

    Regarding the link to Chobits, well that show is much more down to earth/factual or reality like.
    Chobits is more in the comedy (at the beginning) fantasy side, eventhough it does sting in many aspects regarding human/androids relations, but mainly in the love department, with strong shounen colors.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I think the camera direction for this was extremely well done. All the zooming was done for a purpose. It usually highlights small movements and details (ie. finger twitches, slight hesitation, even lack of movement when it is expected) that explain a lot about the character and the scene.

    I only now watched the movie. Quite a bit more wholesome than the series, making an excellent story, even if it still remained pretty much the story of the two dudes rather than anything larger. Although those larger things were scraped much better in the movie than in the series. The many Sammy scenes made me happy.
