fuzzylavapenguin: So I mentioned before about watching a little series called Time of Eve (otherwise known as Eve no Jikan), and I have long since finished the series. It was actually pretty good for such a short story, and it really made me think. The story’s background of discrimination between humans and subservient androids who look exactly like humans was very thought-provoking. In the world of Time of Eve, there is a hidden cafe where there is no discrimination between man and machine, and this is where a bulk of the story takes place. The androids must obey their human owners’ will and are easily distinguished by a floating holographic halo above their heads. Surprisingly, entering the aforementioned cafe allows these androids to act and become human as seen when their halos suddenly disappear. Time of Eve really brings out the ethos and pathos of such discrimination and makes you think of other such discrimination in the present day. I really like series like this one that make you feel for the characters and think about such a serious issue in a beautifully told way. Character development is a plus in my book, and this short series is chock full of it. It was overall a good watch, and by the way, the art style and scenery is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend watching it. I saw the movie rather than the series (I don’t think there’s a difference, really), but this was such a great—and surprising—story. Very thought-provoking and emotional. I couldn’t have explained it any better than the post above. Highly recommended!
