DESCRIPTION

The future, probably Japan. Robots have long been put into practical use, and androids have just come into use.

Influenced by the Robot Ethics Committee, it's become common sense for people to treat androids like household appliances. Their appearance - indistinguishable from humans except for the ring over each android's head - has led some people to empathize unnecessarily with androids. Known as "android-holics", such people have become a social problem.

Rikuo, a high school student, has been taught from childhood that androids are not to be viewed as humans, and has always used them as convenient tools. One day Rikuo discovers some strange data in the behavior records of his family's household android, Sammy.

Rikuo and his friend Masaki trace Sammy's movements, only to discover a mysterious café that features a house rule that "humans and robots are to be treated the same"...

So underrated it's criminal
Are you enjoying the time of EVE?

This is such an underrated anime! It's a beautiful short ONA, leading us to believe that humans are drive by two things - emphaty and fear.

In the futuristic Japan, people either treat adroids like their friends and human beings or like servants and a threat to humanity.
Our two main characters Rikuo and Masaki are dancing between the two groups - showing us some beautiful moments of how a person's heart fights their brain. Seeing humanity win is a sweet cherry on top.

Characters:
Usually it's easy who to tell who is the good guy, who is the bad guy. It's easy to find someone you love and someone you dislike.
In Time of Eve, all of our main or supporting characters have something special to them. Each of them have a secret, something we might or might not find out by the end of the ONA/movie. It isn't a bad thing - it leaves you hungry for more.
Learning about them was a joy, it never felt forced or half-baked. I understood all the characters, their background, thier actions... God, I wish them all happiness! Some of them broke my heart, some of them left me happy, some made me keep my fingers crossed for their happy ending.
This is a prime example of good characters.

Story:
As simple as it was, the story itself wasn't as important nor as entertaining as the little paths between.
Robot Ethics Committee was a great touch, the story made sense thanks to them. It was kind of a higher purpose of the show, really.
But the indivitual lives, Masaki's backstory, Rikuo's sister... those kept me on my toes.
But really, watching this... the story was not so important. It was a simple Slice of Life.

Music:
I have to admit, this one kind of passed around without me noticing. Can't tell if there was an opening or ending, can't tell what the music effects were.
I was too invested to care. (Which only proves my point that this anime is a blessing from God. You forget about the outside world for a moment.)

Animation:
Do you know what a motion blur is? Well... I always turn it off in the games. Having the screen go all blurry for a moment every now and then was a pain.
It was unique, I have to admit, but when that happened, I couldn't see for a while.
Besides that, the animation was smooth.
The art style was a little strange and there were some funny poses and funny facial expressions, but that can't be helped.
I didn't mind the bad quality, when it occured.

Entertainment value:
Eve no Jikan was definitely a unique experience. It deserves more hype and more attention. I will be recommending it to everyone I know.
The story itself is pretty interesting, adroids wanting to uderstand people and be like them is just adorable, the way humans love is incredibly portrayed...
Even if you're not a fan of robots, sci-fi or futuristic themes... go and give this a try.
If anything is worth your time, Eve no Jikan is.

Conclusion:
It was sensational. I want more.
(This anime deserves so much more than I can give it... I wish I was better at writing reviews...)
