Home Release Preview: Time of Eve
Most of the Western world has been talking about AI for just a couple of years but Japan has been warning us for decades. Enter Time of Eve, a new home release from AnimEigo that will feature both the six-episode season and the full-length compilation film in one release featuring an English dubs adapted by NYAV Post.
The release also will include a new interview with Writer/Director Yasuhiro Yoshiura along with a pair of his anime short films – Pale Cocoon and Aquatic Language.
Time of Eve is set during a time when humanoid robots are everywhere, and every home has one as a servant. Some people treat them with contempt, while others become obsessed. One day, two high school boys stumble across a mysterious café that offers a third option: talk to them, free of prejudice, or even full knowledge of who’s a robot and who’s human. Shocked and rattled by the experience, the boys find themselves learning more about the world and themselves than they ever could have imagined.
The home release is slated to RSVP for $24.95 ahead of it’s December 10th home release but as of this writing is retailing for just under $20 if you pre-order now using this link.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
