Lastly, here’s an overview of the anime series, via HIDIVE:
The world is on the verge of changing from an old-fashioned society to a new world, due to issues such as gender, race, and compliance, along with technological innovations such as an evolving AI. Even in this world where black and white is now gray, we believe that “love” will always exist, but in myriad forms and not just between people. This includes love between human and robot and its unique expression. The beauty of these emotions will be shown sometimes beautifully, sometimes brutally, and sometimes comically. How long can this love last? When a robot outlives its human partner, can their love hope to endure?
