This movie is a series of vignettes of how humanity created robots; android robots that have self-awareness. Fast forward thousands of years into the future, robots and humans live together and share emotional feelings. It asks the everlasting question if robots can have a personality and have meaningful relationships and care for humans. And a deeper or unique twist on that concept is the question of if humans truly care for robots like humans. This being Anime, it is highly fantastic in style and concept with no shortage of creativity. Many scenes remind me of the original 80's "Transformers" TV show as they are lots of robots acting like humans. Overall, I thought this would be more cohesive. It felt very disjointed. Many good nuggets and characters in a couple vignettes but they didn't stick with them long enough. I would love to see further exploration into a few stories as others felt very thin by comparison.
