Summary: There should be a "worst anime" contest...
Review: ...because this series would take the grand prize. The plot is innane and repetitive, housing as many secrets as a box of bran flakes. In addition, you're forced to check out weird purple robot nipples, which sounds way cooler than it actually is.

Nipples aside, there is also the theme of whether or not a robot can "love", a notion explored in some of the worst movies to ever be produced (e.g. A.I., Robocop I-III, Short Circuit). Unless you are mildly interested in psycho-anime-porn, enjoy boring yourself to the point of babbling stupidity, or you have friends around with whom to mercilessly jibe the shoddy production value of this series, I suggest staying away at all costs.

Summary: That was boring....
Review: Man, don't watch like Neon Genesis Evangelion or Escaflowne before you watch this movie. The plot in this story is brutally boring. The only good part is the giant maternal robot, Reeves. He may seem scary, but his smile is as big as the bulge in his pants.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pleasant little show
Review: The animation and artstyle are nicely done on this show. The teenaged girl, Haruka, is living with five robots in a urban wasteland, peopled only by other (usually agressive) robots. Somehow she remains all sweetness and light, despite being the only living human that she knows of. In these eight 15-minute segments Haruka explores her surroundings, goes to a beach and makes friends with a solitary warrior-bot who distrusts humans. There's nothing too special in these two hours but it's pleasant and kid-friendly. The action usually revolves around Haruka needing to be rescued by her robot companions.
I'm curious about where this series is leading so I'm giving it four stars for its potential. This show so far, though has very simple dialogue (despite its title) and is light on the action. I will keep my fingers crossed that the second DVD is more interesting. I hope Haruka becomes a more dynamic character. But for now, it's a nice show that won't raise your blood pressure.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: city to jungle
Review: The second DVD in this juvenile series continues the story of Haruka, the pre-teen girl who is apparently the sole human being left alive in the world after the great war. In this second set of eight 12-minute episodes, she and her robot companions, a mix of humanoid and non-humanoid surrogate mom and dad, brother and sister, are forced to leave their cozy ruined city home by an apparently natural disaster. They find a working aircraft to take them, and eventually end up on a jungle island where, surprise, they find at least one more human survivor.

So far the heroine remains sweet, sensitive, and bland as toast. (I think the actress who does Haruka's English voice deserves kudos for a very good performance, though.) There's not a lot of plot to pick at. The side stories appeared to be poking half-heartedly at the notion whether her robot friends have emotions or souls. The introduction of a human boy near the end of this DVD may give the series some direction.
