Robot Waifu Creepy or Wholesome? - My Wife Has No Emotion Reaction!

[@rudy941218]

I think this series would be wholesome because there lots of anime series where human and robots fell in love like plastic memories which is my favorite romance sci-fi .

[@Course6Beaver]

Plastic memories was great. Ending still hits me hard.

[@rudy941218]

Dude I cry so hard during final episode.

There are more ways to show emotions than just facial expressions, some people in the world have conditions that makes them impossible to make facial expressions, so the show their emotions by the actions they do.

[@justapassingbycommenterrem5642]

​@@francisconavarro4251i read the manga, it actually delves a lot into how a human-robot society works. There's still a semi power dynamic in that the humans can choose what happens to their robots but this isn't a dystopian landscape where frequent exploitation of robots happen. For the most part they're treated nicely and given a certain level of independence and rights, I was surprised by this as the manga goes into a lot of detail about a lot of different subjects related to this, like simulated love, personality, ethis, relationships etc it's an interesting read if you're into those

I read this one. Surprised they made it an anime. It is okay, there is more to it here. Apparently the robot is a defective one so he got it cheap. So it can do more. Love the sister's acceptance to the robot.

I've been looking forward to this one. I was happy with E1. The manga went through a period where it seemed like it got lost a little but it seems to be coming back to ground. There hasn't been an English update on Mangadex for a few months now though. Hopefully with the interest the anime will prompt some translator will pick it up.

[@superserperioryt3108]

I couldnt wait to see this get animated, it’s such an interesting story

[@meganmartin3373]

Full disclosure, this is my most anticipated show of the season, and it could be the most disappointing, aggravating, or mind-numbingly _awful_ show of the year and I'd probably still give it no less than a 6.5/10. One of my favorite aspects of the series is that Mina's face is a faceplate; while her eyes can open and close, the rest of her face doesn't really move; thus, all of her emoting is expressed through body language or cinematographic framing. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the anime handles this aspect of the character. The comedy, for better or for worse, is also right up my alley. One of my favorite things is when a series leans into the inhuman qualities of its characters (Zombie Land Saga was particularly good at this, as an example), so bits like Mina warning Takuma that her body isn't safe to eat, or Googling his condition when he's too embarrassed to clarify for her, did a lot to endear the series to me early on. And we haven't even gotten to my favorite running gag yet! Honestly, I was worried this show would come out looking worse. Thus far, I've got no major complaints, and am looking forward to continuing this week to week.

[@smirg2975]

The animation looks good

[@kevin71794]

The most recent episode almost made cry tbh So far I think its very wholesome and because I’ve always liked robots and the concept of AI through a sci-fi lens, I think AI or robot partners are a very possible future. My only true gripe with this series is the manga making the robots a little too child-like in appearance. I toss it up to it just being the art style, but it’s hard to overlook and I’m glad the anime corrected that by Mina bow being a petite woman using a stool rather than a child using a box or a crate to barely be able to reach the sink

[@NoidoDev]

She isn't a child, and very young wives was normal during most of human history. Since she's not a child it shouldn't be a problem.

I love this premise, I’ll definitely check this out, but it’s funny because I bought a hentai manga a while ago and one of the scenes has a robot tsundere maid. It’s absolutely hilarious because initially she’s so mean, and she can’t figure out why the guy doesn’t immediately love her, it’s so funny.

[@Those2menoverthere]

I really like the art and animation, also the OP and ED songs are really my flavor. It was a good first impression for me so far. That being said, this is my first "Robot Companion" anime that I've ever watched. The next anime sort of in this genre I have coming up in my list, it will begin airing in 2025, is, "Kakushite!

It's not scary and it will be coming much faster. But I'm glad that people who think this is scary also think it will take that long. Of course, the real robots will be more limited, especially at the beginning.

I thought I was the only one who thought of Chobits when I first saw the trailer for this anime.

[@junkerzn7312]

I don't have high expectations for this one, but I'll give it a few episodes. It keeps bringing to mind one of the people the MC in Plastic Memories has to track down who became too attached and ran away with his about-to-implode android. The problem with this one, already, is the lack of background on the robot that might explain why its different from the other (clearly mass produced) bots.

[@DavePatrick001]

Okay, so she's a robot. I guess I'll watch it. When I hear "has no emotion", I think "She's a psychopath. Run away!"

[@jsmith6599]

Psychopaths do have emotions. It's just that they care only about themselves, rather than other people. Here is the opposite case: Mina the robot only cares for her master's well-being.

[@Nahinalau]

My friend and I are digging this show, but only because of all the unintentional nightmare fuel. We pause regularly to discuss the implications of events without the rose-tinted anime glasses. It is a good watch for that reason, we're just waiting for every episode's new dystopian bombshell it'll drop in a wholesome coat of paint. Got my AJ-branded tinfoil hat on firm for this one, would recommend!

[@andrewsheppard1940]

I think Otakus will love this show, but the Japanese govenrnment (given their current birthrate issues) will propbably hate it! Personally I enjoyed the eposide: Takuma came across as sympathetic and a bit lonely, rather than creepy, so I think they handled it really well.

[@NoidoDev]

You're wrong, assuming this was a comment on the birth rate. Robowaifus like her will help with that. Men can use surrogacy, and then use a robowaifu as mother or nanny.

I've been pleasantly surprised with this show, very pleasantly in fact. I have no experience with this sub-genre (if it is a sub-genre), and I fully expected a wierdo ecchi thing that I'd be done with after the first episode; but to anyone on the fence about giving this a shot, I'll tell you that it's far from anything like that. In fact, if taken for what it is - a simple little sitcom-ish thing and not some perverse anti-human piece of depravity - it actually has some profound and wholesome things to say about what marriage is and how a husband should treat his wife (and maybe even a father his child) using this unlikey scenario as a vehicle. At every turn, I've been impressed with the main character's...well...character. It really is a nice little piece of work. Great writing. Great acting. Beautiful artwork.

[@JoseLopez-gi9sf]

I like the manga but i think it is sad we have many animes about trying to raise a child. And ones like this where guys are alone for a long time and they fall in love with unconventional things. It shows just how lonely people are especially when japan has a growing hikkimoro problem and people not having children. And I believe it is not just a japan problem. It as if the more we advance the more humanity falls behind.
