Dogakobo has just given us a preview of the upcoming TV anime series, Plastic Memories. So far, the synopsis is quite sparse, but so far we know it is set in a near future and focuses on a slice of life type story of a female robot themed around “encounters and separations”. An android manufacturer, SA Corporation developed a very lifelike android known as Giftia but met with an unexpected ethical issue when the androids were nearing the end of their service life. A new employee, Tsukasa Mizugaki teams up with one such android, Giftia Isla to retrieve the “dying androids”.
Latest issue of Dengeki G showcased two new key visuals for series. One of them is showing a clumsy Isla which might be a large hint on what kind of character she would be.
Written by Naotaka Hayashi, famous for Steins;Gate and features character design by okiura who did illustrations for the Infinite Stratos light novels. The series will be directed by Yoshiyuki Fujiwara (Ao no Exorcist, GJ-bu) and producer Chiaki Nakajima (Higashi no Eden, GJ-bu) The tweet announcing the new series can be seen below:
