WARNING: REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILER If youve done it or want to get spoiled you are allowed to read this review. Isnt it sad how some people only value themselves by how much the wrong people value them. Isla Plastic Memories. Many people dislike it due to premises do this anime has promised to the audiences. Its written by the same author of Steins Gate so of course people would expect more from this anime to tell more about the inherited level of science fiction based on the creator. Yet they wont find it here as its another bittersweet premise and a slice of life with scifi as its background. People always oddly value a show by its previous quality. I must say its good yet means you cant see the hidden value behind the authenticity of the anime itself. The philosophical value of humanity and the morality of Giftias who want to be treated as human its somewhat a very good premise to start with. Sometimes it takes a little bit of sadness to know what happiness is. Her true words prevail in the story about the anime itself. Its very sad and joyful at certain times it happens simultaneously throughout the story. It tells about Tsukasa Mizugaki a boy who accepted to SA Corp. an android company that produced a Giftia a new form of android that has the most amount of emotion and artificially human qualities which much better than its model predecessor. At first glance he met Isla a Giftia which he thought that she is also a human yet shes not. Its hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. This quote truly tells about the characters. How can I forget them? They are so memorable given to the story itself. Isla a clumsy yet adorable girl who formed into a team in the terminal service. She has the most of it as she is the first main character besides Tsukasa even though the storys point of view told about Tsukasa himself who curious about emotions happiness and sadness. She had her crush to Tsukasa and she wants her memories to not be erased as she doesnt want to lose the one who gave her beautiful memories. Tsukasa a boy who also had a crush on his beloved girl and he had taught her a lot of things about this world. Memories do not always soften with time sometimes some grow edges like knives. I must say the song is not so strong trait for the anime but it has a very deep meaning. I love listening to Ayasake no Starmine it has a soft and playful tone of a song yet so deep meaning and gives you the warmth about this anime for worthwhile. For the roles Im very satisfied with the voice actors althought Islas voice isnt that loud I can hear and feel her words deeply and its pretty for me. I want to cry and smile or even laugh every time I hear her voice its well fitted to her character as a playful cold and caring yet clumsy and childish personality. About the other characters I dont see any problem with the other voice characters they are well fitted to the roles as well. Having happy and beautiful memories doesnt always bring salvation. The more beautiful a memory is the more painful it can become it can even become more terrifying. Both for the one whos leaving... and the one being left behind. Plastic Memories is an underrated anime which not only teaches you the morality about being a human it also gives you the sentimental feeling between two different creatures who fell in love with each other and will always be together even when the death separates them. It also has a premise which is simple and understandable for most of the audiences and will give you the warmth of both joyful and sadness at the same times. It gives you solely of a slice of life and drama with scifi as the background. So for whom it may concern dont watch if you expect an anime with a scientific premise like Steins Gate. It wont give you something similar to the show as it doesnt match the same pain with it. Do watch if you love series like Violet Evergarden Clannad and Angel Beats. I havent watched Clannad and Violet Evergarden but Im sure it has a similar premise as Plastic Memories. Overall I enjoyed this show so much as I have watched it five times and cried with the same number of times too. The story was thoughtful joyful playful and hurtful at the same time and I should recommend this to whom love the slice of life genre. You can say that I rate it too high but it doesnt mean that I overrate this show. Plastic Memories is the most underrated series Ive ever seen in the slice of life genre and Id give it a very high score to not forget about the memories do this show have.
