EPISODE REVIEWS

En este episodio vemos a Hideki tener su primera cita (de toda su vida) con Yumi chan, es muy gracioso ver cómo se altera y se preocupa Hideki de no hacer nada que se malinterprete o que no le guste a su kouhai. Por otro lado, nos revelan un aspecto muy importante sobre Chii y que también puede estar relacionado con ese libro tan misterioso que le encanta a nuestra linda persocon.

This episode revealed something important about Chii, along with a small but meaningful detail about Minoru. I think this episodes' informations can't be skipped. Since it’s been such a long time since I last watched this series, I’ve forgotten exactly how and when all of the major revelations happen, so rewatching it has been a great experience.

In this episode, it becomes much more noticeable that Chii is developing thoughts and reactions outside of what's expected of a regular Persocom. The bunny story feels ominous and again causes Chii to react strangely. This time, she manages to connect with another being she doesn't recognize, but that being knows her very well. Meanwhile, Hideki has a date with Yumi, and during their conversation, it seems Hideki understands that a Persocom isn't a person, but those around him don't seem to see it that way. The truth about Yuzuki and Minoru is revealed, a painful story that explains why he warned Hideki the first time they met. An episode full of questions for the audience. Nowadays, when people go on dates with artificial intelligences pretending to be their favorite characters, how relevant are these questions today? How alone are we today, and how do we fill those voids?
