As a result of the unusual rules, it becomes impossible to tell apart an android from a human within the cafe. In addition, the entrance to the cafe locks for 30 minutes to give patrons privacy, to keep prying eyes from trying to follow anyone to determine whether they are human or android. Because of the cafe’s rule against discrimination, the androids turn off their halos, rings of light above their head that allows them to be identified as androids. The bulk of the story focuses on Rikuo and Masaki’s interactions with the various patrons of the Time of Eve cafe. Their search leads them to a strange cafe where the only rule is to not discriminate between humans and androids. Suspicious of his Sammy’s recent unusual behavior, Rikuo and his friend Masaki ( Kenji Nojima) decide to trace her footsteps to try and figure out what she’s up during her free time. While doing a routine checkup of her activity logs one morning, he notices a strange phrase: “Are you enjoying your time of eve?”. Time of Eve focuses on Rikuo ( Jun Fukuyama vi Britannia), a high school student who has taken the convenience of his android Sammy ( Rie Tanaka) for granted his entire life. Got confused with The Second Renaissance, the Animatrix story detailing the beginning of the android rebellion and subsequent creation of the Matrix… Then one day, an android named B1-66ER rises up and kills his owner… Because of their usefulness in doing menial tasks and generally making life easier, they are given little regard by their human owners and are given about as much attention as a human would give to their toaster.

They are tasked to doing anything from household chores to providing companionship to lonely people. The film takes place in a not-too-distant future Japan, where androids have entered common household usage.

Originally released as a six-episode ONA between August 2008 and September 2009, the series was later re-released in a “complete” movie version, which tied the six-episodes together into one feature-length film and added new scenes to fill in the plot. Time of Eve ( Eve no Jikan) was created by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, a relatively unknown anime director whose other works include Aquatic Language (2002) and Pale Cacoon (2006). Is it possible for androids to coexist peacefully with their human masters?
