Plastic Memories

This is a good example of a series that is very predictable without much twists, and yet is still able to satisfy the viewers until the end despite some flaws that go unnoticed, brought about by the weight of some solid moments, new ways of developing dialogues on the theme and a pint of jests. A lot of reviewers say that this series could have been expanded, that it really has potential in terms of its source material and subject matter. Some say that some scenes or episodes should have been omitted. But anyway, I'm just a normal reviewer myself. Just the thought of a human soul expiring within an android body? Damn. Just putting myself in Tsukasa's shoes would make me depressed for some indefinite time.

It's so beautiful and sad but definitely worth watching, last episode made me cry so much

I know i am very late to this but ive just finished this anime in one night and it had me bawling my eyes out. The design of characters and the plot was absolutely wonderfull and the relationship between Isla and Tsukasa is amazing. The animation while quite different from most animes it was absolutely spot on for this anime and the plot. I know its highly unlikely that this anime gets a 2nd season but if it does i will absoulutely watch it. If i could erase my memory just to watch this anime again i would do that a million times. For anyone wondering if you should eatch this i would certainly reccomend doing that. Thank you Naotaka Hayashi for this masterpiece.

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.
