Plastic Memories seems to be set in a future setting. In this time there are androids who are indistinguishable from normal people, they are called Giftia\u2019s. A Giftia has a maximum lifespan of around 81.920 hours, when this time has lapsed they run the risk of showing defects and can be a danger to themselves and the people around them. It\u2019s the job of the employees of the Terminal Service to deactivate a Giftia before this happens.<\/p>\n

\"Plastic<\/a><\/p>\n

To be able to perform these tasks there are teams, consisting of one person and one Giftia. Mizugaki Tsukasa is a new employee of the Terminal Service and Isla is assigned to be his partner. As a newcomer Tsukasa knows very little about the job he is supposed to perform. He seems to have gotten the job through inside contacts. It doesn\u2019t help that Isla doesn\u2019t seem to be very handy and often shows how much of a klutz she can be. Despite the problems Isla seems to cause Tsukasa often stands up for her and often takes on the blame.<\/p>\n

The creators of Plastic Memories quickly show that the viewers possibly won\u2019t always become very cheerful from watching this anime. The way in which they portray the relationship between Giftia and people makes for a few emotional moments. The anime quickly shows in which direction it\u2019s headed and does little to surprise the viewers. At the beginning it takes a little while before they are able to find themselves. The humor often feels forced, for instance, because the it doesn\u2019t quite fit the characters themselves and interrupts some good moments between the characters. Later on in the anime they seem to let go of adding humor to it and replace this with a few more cheerful moments, which fits the anime a lot more.<\/p>\n

In Plastic Memories they aren\u2019t afraid to show in which direction they\u2019re headed. This can quickly make the anime predictable to the viewer and takes away from the excitement of the experience of watching it. The emotions are portrayed well in Plastic Memories. During most of the anime you get a bad feeling about how it\u2019s going to end. This feeling manages to make even the cheerful moments heavy and really makes you empathize with the characters. The characters also get the space to develop themselves. Especially Tsukasa and Isla grow a lot during this anime, but their human coworker Michiru also often gets the opportunity to show different aspects of herself. You are driven to watch more while wondering whether it\u2019s really going to end the way you\u2019re expecting it to end. To find out you\u2019ll really have to watch the anime yourself.<\/p>\n
