From the very first episode I wasnt sure how to feel about this show and even after finishing it its still hard to put into words. It balances on a very thin rope between weird cute wholesome and creepy. Its a romcom so I didnt go in expecting a very deep conversation about humanoid androids as companions but the show tries to have these little moments of seriousness that the ridiculous premise just cant support. The biggest problem with this show is the protagonist Takuma. Hes portrayed as such a pathetic loner that its hard to see this relationship in the positive light the anime wants you to. For one the role of androids in this world is not established at all. Over the course of the anime you discover theyre common but their actual role in society is never fully explored. If Takuma had actually ordered Mina for the purpose of companionship from the start I think it would have been a lot better but thats not what happened. He orders her purely as a humanoid tool and all initial interest in her is due to him being overworked lonely and horny to the point that it feels like a joke Im not supposed to take seriously. He tells her what he would like and as her owner she obliges him and that unfortunately sets the tone for the whole series. There are even a few moments like the episode about upgrades where the show tries to go for genuine emotions but due to Takumas personality it feels a little more creepy than it was probably intended and comes off like he just has a robot fetish. If you asked why he fell for her I can honestly only say because shes physically present in his house. As for Mina the show tries to convince you that shes becoming more humanlike but it never feels true due to the tone the first episode set. Mina doesnt actually feel like Takumas wife and instead fulfills his request by acting as the textbook definition of a wife which she actually looked up online. None of her actions are spontaneous but instead carefully researched and altered based on Takumas reactions. I dont even think she calls Takuma her husband once. Now not everything about the show is terrible. While Takumas patheticness is the worse part of the show its also some of the endearing parts as well. Takuma is pathetic and not only is the watcher meant to think that but Takuma himself knows it and is reflective of it in earlier episodes with his inner monologue about his sanity. These comedic moments land well and feel more fitting then when the show is trying to be serious. Id even argue the show relies on this selfdeprecation to be funny at all. They dont treat him or his situation like it is normal at all which makes it all the more strange when all the side characters do treat this relationship like its normal. Again theres nothing that establishes companion androids as normal or even existing in this universe. Just that some androids look and act more human than others. I honestly enjoyed his relationship and interactions with Mamoru much more than I did Mina by the end as they felt more genuine and wholesome and Mamoru actually had the natural development of a personality they try to convince you Mina is having. Its a very bizarre and sometimes weird show and its hard to recommend. If you can make it through the first three episodes then it might be worth it for the wholesome slice of life moments that are sprinkled afterward.
