Time of Eve

“Are you enjoying the Time of Eve?”

That’s the first sign you will see when you enter into this hidden cafe. First time visitors will be informed of rule that states “No discrimination between humans and robots” within the cafe.

Set in the futuristic era of Japan, where robot usage has become an everyday occurrence. The improvement of technology has made it hard to differentiate between robots and human, thus making it compulsory for robots to be identified with glowing rings above their heads.

Yup, this time round I’ll be sharing about the anime: Time of Eve (A.k.a Eve no Jikan). The viewers will follow through the story on the perspective of Rikuo, a high school student that stumbled upon the mysterious cafe after checking on the movement logs of his robot, Sammy.  

Why do I like this anime? I always had an interest in stories that features robots and humans, the concept/fear of robots taking over the world (Matrix) and the fact that if robots become humane over time. As a big fan of Isaac Asimov’s work I was happy to see the three laws of robotics incorporated in this story, it was well placed as it explored the possibility of the future where humans will become afraid of robots due to the reason where robots are becoming “better” than humans, with different views where it could be a good or bad thing.

Unlike stories of Isaac Asimov, Time of Eve mainly features heartwarming stories that picture the robots in a more favorable role, of how they are trying to fit into human society, and perhaps they are in fact not that different from humans after all.

In order not to spoil the your experience of Time of Eve, I’m not going to talk about the exact story, but overall it’s what I have mentioned above.

Invoked your curiosity to watch this? Head down to CrunchyRoll to view the streamed version of Time of Eve, fancy a physical copy? You could go to your local anime dvd retailer to grab a copy of ‘Time of Eve” DVD.

I hope you enjoyed the time of Eve.
