Yasuhiro Yoshiura (Sing a Bit of Harmony, Patema Inverted) directed, wrote and storyboarded Time of Eve, eventually expanding the six-episode 2008 web series into a 2010 feature film. The series is also available to stream on Crunchyroll.Synopsis:
Time of Eve is set during a time when humanoid robots are everywhere, and every home has one as a servant. Some people treat them with contempt, while others become obsessed. One day, two high school boys stumble across a mysterious café that offers a third option: talk to them, free of prejudice, or even full knowledge of who’s a robot and who’s human. Shocked and rattled by the experience, the boys find themselves learning more about the world and themselves than they ever could have imagined.
