Time of Eve

In a near‑future Japan where androids blend seamlessly into daily life, society treats them as mere appliances, marked only by a subtle ring on their heads. The prevailing mindset, reinforced by the Robot Ethics Committee, discourages any emotional connection, labeling those who do as "android‑holics" and a social nuisance.

High‑schooler Rikuo, raised to view machines as tools, stumbles upon odd data in his family’s android, Sammy. Curious, he and his friend Masaki follow the clues to a hidden café that enforces a radical rule: humans and robots must be regarded equally, challenging the status quo and hinting at deeper questions about empathy and identity.
