This is such an underrated anime! It's a beautiful short ONA, leading us to
believe that humans are drive by two things - empathy and fear.
Today we'll focus on the OVA, which consists of 6 episodes, each 19 minutes
long.

Introduction:
In the futuristic Japan, people either treat androids like their friends
and human beings or like servants and a threat to humanity.
Our two main characters Rikuo and Masaki are dancing between the two
groups - showing us some beautiful moments of how a person's heart fights
their brain. Seeing humanity win is a sweet cherry on top.
Characters:
Usually it's easy who to tell who is the good guy, who is the bad guy.
It's easy to find someone you love and someone you dislike.
In Time of Eve, all of our main or supporting characters have something
special to them. Each of them have a secret, something we might or might
not find out by the end of the ONA/movie. It isn't a bad thing - it leaves
you hungry for more.
Learning about them was a joy, it never felt forced or half-baked. I
understood all the characters, their background, thier actions... God, I
wish them all happiness! Some of them broke my heart, some of them left me
happy, some made me keep my fingers crossed for their happy ending.
This is a prime example of good characters.
Story:
As simple as it was, the story itself wasn't as important nor as
entertaining as the little paths between.
Robot Ethics Committee was a great touch, the story made sense thanks to
them. It was kind of a higher purpose of the show, really.
But the individual lives, Masaki's backstory, Rikuo's sister... those
kept me on my toes.
But really, watching this... the story was not so important. It was a
simple Slice of Life.
Music:
I have to admit, this one kind of passed around without me noticing.
Can't tell if there was an opening or ending, can't tell what the music
effects were.
I was too invested to care. (Which only proves my point that this anime
is a blessing from God. You forget about the outside world for a
moment.)

Animation:
Do you know what a motion blur is? Well... I always turn it off in
the games. Having the screen go all blurry for a moment every now and then
was a pain.
It was unique, I have to admit, but when that happened, I
couldn't see for a while.
Besides that, the animation was smooth.
The
art style was a little strange and there were some funny poses and funny
facial expressions, but that can't be helped.
I didn't mind the bad
quality, when it occurred.
Entertainment value:
Eve no Jikan was definitely a unique experience. It deserves more
hype and more attention. I will be
recommending it to everyone I know.
The story itself is pretty
interesting, adroids wanting to uderstand people and be like them is just
adorable, the way humans love is incredibly portrayed...
Even if you're
not a fan of robots, sci-fi or futuristic themes... go and give this a
try.
If anything is worth your time, Eve no Jikan is.

Conclusion:
It was sensational. I want more.
(This anime deserves so much
more than I can give it... I wish I was better at writing reviews...)
