Video:

The video in this is acceptable. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the image is fairly dark throughout most of the three episodes that make up this story. The image also has a grainy texture to it which is odd considering this is a CGI animation.

Audio:

The sound levels are nice and high so you don't miss anything that is said or any of the incidental noises. There is a bit of buzz throughout the whole show that is particularly noticable during very quiet scenes. Unless you're an audio junkie, you're not likely to notice the buzz (of course, now that I've pointed it out to you you'll probably notice it).

Subtitle:

The subs are white which doesn't really matter given how dark the majority of this anime is. The timing and font are both very good. The reason I gave this a three is because the translation leaves a bit to be desired. The subs are understandable but require some thought at times. I guess that would make them "average".

Comment:

First off, the whole show looks like CGI cut scenes from a first generation PS2 game but not on the same level as the Final Fantasy cut scenes. My wife and I talked about this a bit and we even figured good places to put video game action in between the scenes to this show. Secondly, this show has some hentai elements to it (as you can see in my screen shots) but I wouldn't consider this to fit into the hentai arena. There are some very strongly suggestive scenes but they are in there only to drive a point home rather than be the focus of the show. Finally, this is one of the weirdest things I've seen in a long time. It's right up there with FLCL and Serial Experiments: Lain as far as weirdness is concerned but not as polished as either of those two shows. If you're looking for something that's really off the beaten track and you've already seen FLCL and Lain, then you might want to check this out.

Comment:

Very strange but interesting CGI feature about a robot made to be a pleasure toy. Sort of like a walking, talking blow up doll. Unfortunately, humans are extinct so theses dolls are out of a job... Video - 4 not bad. certain parts of the film was pretty dark. i think it was the animation itself. Audio - 3 nothing special about it. Subs - 4 subs were pretty good. a few typos and some lines that were a little hard to catch but very understandable.
