    "Error i couldnt quite catch that" fav phrase

    I know i am very late to this but ive just finished this anime in one night and it had me bawling my eyes out. The design of characters and the plot was absolutely wonderfull and the relationship between Isla and Tsukasa is amazing. The animation while quite different from most animes it was absolutely spot on for this anime and the plot. I know its highly unlikely that this anime gets a 2nd season but if it does i will absoulutely watch it. If i could erase my memory just to watch this anime again i would do that a million times. For anyone wondering if you should eatch this i would certainly reccomend doing that. Thank you Naotaka Hayashi for this masterpiece.

    A touching anime

    Plastic Memories is a moving anime that deftly touches on themes of love, humanity, and the inescapable progression of time. This emotionally charged series not only captivates with its beautifully animated scenes, but also strikes a chord with its well-crafted characters. The narrative revolves around the delicate nature of the relationships formed between humans and the Giftia. The story takes place in a world where humanoid robots with a limited lifespan are created to serve and accompany people. What sets Plastic Memories apart from other anime is its ability to delve into the facets of love and loss. The anime masterfully navigates the bittersweet moments that arise when facing the inevitability of goodbyes. The emotional depth of the series leaves a lasting impact. The characters are carefully developed and each contributes to the overall narrative in a significant way. The protagonist Tsukasa experiences significant growth as he grapples with the complexities of love and mortality. The interactions with Isla add a layer of intensity that resonates throughout the series. Visually, "Plastic Memories" is gorgeous. The animation is fluid and the attention to detail in character design and world building enhances the overall viewing experience. The soundtrack is complementary beautiful and hits the key moments. Its exploration of deep themes and emotional resonance makes it a very good work. The series successfully blends sci-fi elements with deep storytelling, leaving a lasting impression that lasts long after the final episode ends.

    Ignore the few comments from pseudo-intellectuals.

    It's a story that condenses everything quite well into 13 chapters. Themes like love, loss, nostalgia, and connection-what are those feelings that make us human and connect us?-pose the premise, but as in more real life, we don't have an answer; it's something unknown, and its ending is consistent. Nothing is resolved, nor are there twists and turns due to the power of love. It follows a line, and they do it quite well. Reality is what it is, and as far as we can understand it, everything is well-developed, with endearing characters and some comic relief that works perfectly. It doesn't need crazy twists or a soundtrack with epic Gregorian chants for the music to be wonderfully appropriate. The only superficial and "manipulative" viewing anyone can see in this story is from a person too superficial to perceive its background and intentions. Good anime.

    worth watching

    One of the best

    This anime is probably one of the best i've ever watched: interesting story line and characters themselves. This gave tears to my eyes and I didn't want it to end. This Anime is above average great acting. I just wish that there was more explanation of this and the end. I really would watch it again and again.
