Thanks for the post. Though I read it a while back, I only recently started watching the episodes. What a treat! A lot of resemblance to two of the Animatrix stories (The Second Renaissance I & II), but with a scope that seems more poetry than catalog.

Amazing how well the characters were developed despite the short episode run time; I totally agree with the statement that the show uses its minutes wisely.

Thanks again!

@Chris

I have to say, I didn’t find the scene you mentioned awkward nor too perfect for Rikuo’s story. I felt from the very moment we met Rikuo that he wanted his mind changed, that it started happening even before the beginning of the show.

I also didn’t really think the story itself was wrapped up, perhaps it came to a point, but judging from the 6th episode there are many hurdles they could continue to go through.

Nice simple summary and round up. Personally – I found that at one point towards episode 5 when Rikuo was finally being ‘enlightened’ and that whole super-melodramatic segment where he comes down the stairs – and changes the way he thinks of Robots… that part felt extremely awkward in such an otherwise kinetically and sensually believable world.

In otherwords, this show was in parts too preachy, when it should have gone the subtle route and possibly a more open-ended conclusion too. What I mean is I wouldn’t have minded if the show ended with Rikuo not in PERFECT reconciliation with Sammy.

Thank you for the write up on a spectacular series and my honourary salute to Studio Rikka.
