As for Eve no Jikan, I'm already hooked and looking forward to the rest of the series. The pay-off with Akiko was simply brilliant (although the first time I watched it, I mistook Akiko for Maki, which made the resulting conversation and revelation a bit strange). I admit I've watched it a few times since, just to pick up on that interaction in the cafe, as well as the subtle clues that are thrown at you (I love the irony that they consider her to be a 'dori-kei', whilst meanwhile... Not sure when the next episode is coming out, but waiting in anticipation. Eve actually builds on the concept in an earlier short story called Mizu no Kotoba ('Aquatic Language') (it's about 7 mins long) that introduces the concept to a degree, especially the 'laws of robotics'. I recommend tracking it down if you haven't seen it yet. Hi Tony – thanks for your comments (here and elsewhere) – promise I’ll get round to them ASAP.

Simple story but changes my opinion about the WORLD I know and it's really scary (>_<) Since I’ve watch Kino no Tabi -the Beautiful World-, I don’t dare to watch any anime with such physiologic effect.
