Synopsis

In the near future, 10 percent of the population will consist of Humanoidsโ€”machines with advanced functions and artificial intelligence resembling human personalities, easily recognized by their sideways pupils. These specialized patients likewise require a special doctor. By day, Dr. Hikaru Sudou runs a medical clinic for Humanoids; by night, under the moniker of Moggadeet, he performs illegal procedures and gathers information about his lost mother.

Hikaru encounters patients with varying problems unique to this society: a Humanoid struggling with the question of whether she and the source of her backup data are the same person, a teenage Humanoid who cannot improve athletically, and even a robot teddy bear with memories of multiple owners. As the world's technology constantly evolves, newer and more complex questions surrounding humanity arise. With each new advance, it becomes more difficult to define what truly makes one human or Humanoid.

This anime is a nice commentary about how AI could influence our life in the future, and if that is a good or bad thing.

The good part about it is how it explores different scenarios of "what ifs".

That being said, it also had a "anime plot" that was really bad.... no conclusion, no explanation, no reveal of some kind of masterplan that it was hinted at. In that area it fails.

Still, if you want to see the challenges humanity could have if AI becomes even better, I recommend you watch it. Just don't expect the main plot - anime part to be ... good.

Mixed Feelings
Never before have I seen an anime with so much in it do nothing. It's a great examination of various ethical questions that arise within the setting of the world, but there's no end goal to answering these questions, with a lot of the basic plot setup from the first episode just going nowhere. I enjoyed my time with this show, but it's difficult to recommend.

The main cast are enjoyable enough, and definitely stand out from eachother, but a lot of the episode to episode side characters start suffering from a strong case of same face once you've been at it long enough. Conversely, ... from a growth perspective, watching these side characters grow seems to be the main focus, with the main cast themselves not really being any different in the last episode than they were in the first.

My final critique comes from the final episode itself, as it almost feels like the entire show was just a setup to get you familiar with the world, with the final scenes feeling very 'second season' bait.

There is some lgbt+ rep, if that's something you're looking for, but for the most part it has very little impact on the story being told, from a larger perspective, or just from a character view. It's nice to have rep that feels casual, and to a degree that exists here, but there's a little too much questioning about the norm to be entirely comfortable, and if you're looking for your next big gay or trans anime, this isn't going to be it.

Not Recommended
Preliminary (7/12 eps)
Spoiler
Look, I came here for the ideas it brought in the first episode, a hard sci-fi about the nature of thinking machines and how they would be treated by a society who already treats humans badly. Instead of focusing on the interesting ideas of "what is the legal status of AI people" and "how does a society treat a new class of people" it wants to go through what ifs and not develop them.
The show has one or two good ideas that I really liked, the episode where a dude makes an AI version of his high school crush for sexual reasons is a ... good idea, but is not taken to the terrifying extent that "the most extreme version of revenge porn" could be. I feel this is an apt metaphor for the show, some good ideas without the ability to engage with them.
