That many hours in about 112.145 months. For a machine. having over 8 years of service is a long time.

This kind of reminds of Mahoromatic's Mahoro in that they are androids with a short life except this android will outlive Mahoro by a long time.

Looks good.
Doubt the 9 years of life will come into play much, just kinda there to ruin your hopes and dreams I guess.

Yeah, the roughly 9 years and 3 months life span will probably play some sort of 'let's make the most of our time together' role, when all things are said and done.

No wonder the 1st news regarding to this anime has a tagline: "A bittersweet romance." Plus, with a tagline in the 2nd news: "Love story born from digital memories,"

And finally, a tagline in this latest news: "A story of meetings & partings."

Looks like an anime with a lot of "Feels" are coming....

Damn, maybe it's just me, but that art style and color palette is beautiful. Animation looks fluid as well, looking great so far.

Lol, agreed. I wonder if this will ever stack up to the wave of emotions Angel Beats gave me.

An anime also called Charlotte (From the creators of Angel Beats) would be release this year. Looks like this is the year of "Feels"....

The art style looks "clean" and "pristine". A look that I suspect will stand in a stark contrast to the anime's plot.

Each Giftia android is active for about 81,920 hours, ha? In larger time units, that's about 3,413.333 days, 448.876 weeks, 121.219 months, or 9.351 years (give or take Smile )

Sora Amamiya as Isla, a Giftia who doesn't show much emotion. She starts working in a team with Tsukasa, and supports him, since he does not know much. It is said that Giftias only have approximately nine years to function.


The CM shows the character's name is アイラ (Aira)
