Plastic Memories

I don't really know if this show deserves a 9, but there are a few reasons I gave it that. First of all, this is a really good romance story. Everyone always talks about how sad it made them feel, which really just undermines how good the first 12 episodes are, not just the last one. The romance in this is very well done in my opinion, and if the ending wasn't so sad then it would probably be in lots of people's top spots for romance anime in general. Next, while this show is more of a drama than a comedy, there were actually some pretty funny parts. The animation was very impressive too, the still frames all look professional and well drawn, and a lot of the animation is smooth and flows well. Most anime are not animated this well, so I appreciate it. Lastly, while plastic memories definitely has characters that fit into archetypes, there are some fun subversions from usual romance, comedy, or drama tropes that I appreciated.

A very nice anime, with nice characters, with good protagonists (Isla and Tsukasa) and with a romance that despite lacking in some aspects of depth and development of it makes you love it.

The anime has a huge potential that was not taken advantage of, because of the concept of the giftia and their life span it could have been one of the best drama/romance in history but having only 13 chapters the story and the interpersonal relationship was not able to develop as its best version.

However it is an anime that fans of the genre will definitely love and will undoubtedly leave the vast majority of its viewers in tears.

Plastic Memories is a story that touches the soul without the need for grand battles or impressive effects. Set in a futuristic setting, it explores deeply human emotions like love, loss, and hope. Through delicate storytelling and endearing characters, it leaves you thinking about how precious every moment is. Ideal for those seeking an authentic emotional experience. The music perfectly accompanies the most sensitive moments, and the animation highlights the tenderness of the protagonists. It's not a series for everyone, but if you connect with its message, it will remain in your memory for a long time.

It's a story that condenses everything quite well into 13 chapters. Themes like love, loss, nostalgia, and connection-what are those feelings that make us human and connect us?-pose the premise, but as in more real life, we don't have an answer; it's something unknown, and its ending is consistent. Nothing is resolved, nor are there twists and turns due to the power of love. It follows a line, and they do it quite well. Reality is what it is, and as far as we can understand it, everything is well-developed, with endearing characters and some comic relief that works perfectly. It doesn't need crazy twists or a soundtrack with epic Gregorian chants for the music to be wonderfully appropriate. The only superficial and "manipulative" viewing anyone can see in this story is from a person too superficial to perceive its background and intentions. Good anime.

This Series Is Romantic, Sad, Joyful, Fun. One of the best series. Love the characters and love the Story.
