Oh another Spring show...

And an original one too. It looks like Sora Amamiya is becoming quite a rising star lately.

Hmm...It seems that the story of Plastic Memories show reminds me of Saber Marionette J somewhat...

I'll have no problem enjoying this show. Smile

This one definitely has my interest. I enjoyed Chobits, despite some very strong opinions on its content, and have a fascination with these sorts of android stories.

Add in the fact that this is not based upon a Light Novel or Manga, and I'm really intrigued.

I have nothing against those sorts of series, but an anime original can be a great way to do something special with the series that is not done when there's source material to adhere to.

Also, I totally agree about Sora Amamiya. She definitely seems to be on the rise. Not that I mind. Her and Ari Ozawa were great new voices to hear last year, in the midst of the overabundance of Kana Hanazawa.

My joy is upon Yasuaki Takumi finally being recognized in the main character level roles... He was so underrated...

The premise reminds me a little of "Do androids dream of electric sheep", ie Bladerunner.

The first thing I thought when I read about it was that it sounds like someone watched Bladerunner and thought "this needs less dark and more moe."

I, for one, am perfectly fine with our present Hanazawa Kana overlords.

Looking good. It's a nice balanced cast plus a cute boy and Kenjiro Tsuda is in it. Hope it's not too much harem and more like Nagi no Asukara.

Another Spring show, keep racking them up! The general plot sounds like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?/Blade Runner, with the entire "Android Force searching for other, old androids" thing.

Now I have an image of moe Harrison Ford and co in my head!
This anime sounds melancholy. The way the androids are teamed up with human handlers at the agency actually put me in mind of Gunslinger Girl, but this seems much less dark and violent. Really curious about checking it out!

I have nothing against her, she's got an amazing voice, but it's nice to be hearing some new up and coming female voices in the industry.

It's the same as I'm really glad to see that Kaito Ishikawa is getting more work, as well as Natsuki Hanae.

We're needing fresh blood in the industry and there's been a lot of great new artists working now.

I can't get it out of my mind that I've already watched an ova about this...and, no, I don't mean "Chobits" or "Elfen Lied", either.

I apologize in advance for the double post, but the ova I was looking for is "kowarekake no orgel".
