Summary: In the future, androids live side by side with humans – but not as their equals, as their slaves. Though they look identical, these androids must display a holographic ring over their heads so the difference is clear. One day, a boy named Rikuo finds abnormal activity patterns in the logs of his own android, and alongside his friend Masaki, he sets forth to find where the android has been. Much to their surprise, the duo discovers a secret café known as Eve no Jikan with a single rule: within its walls, there must be no discrimination between humans and robots. In this place, androids appear to be human and are even displaying signs of independence – a trait that should not be possible. Rikou finds his perceptions increasingly challenged as he struggles to come to terms with his own android, and the relationship between man and machines...
*******************************************************
The whole movie is the video to the side.
Due to the whole premise of this movie the characters are what makes or breaks this anime and boy oh boy does it make this anime excellent. It does an amazing job with not only character development but also character diversity. There are many lovable characters and most of the main and secondary characters are well fleshed out.
I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
