Not really sure about this one so far. The animation was great and Takuma's characterization was strong (personally I didn't find his patheticness a turnoff), but the setup just feels very uncomfy to me. I understand that the story is about a classic scifi premise of "can robots love", but currently it just feels like this man is so lonely that he's developing an unhealthy attachment to a person-shaped appliance that has run calculations and concluded that reciprocating his feelings will help it complete its tasks better. I understand that the show wants us to see her as a person, and maybe it will give us reasons to do so later, but IMO a textual reading of the first episode doesn't give me any right now, and the whole situation is giving me horror / black mirror vibes, which kills the light and fluffy vibe they seem to be shooting for (for me).
For just the premiere, I give it a very mixed 3/5. I'll see how i feel next week and maybe give it another episode.
