Plastic Memories (プラスティック・メモリーズ, Purasutikku Memorīzu) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Doga Kobo and directed by Yoshiyuki Fujiwara. The story was originally conceived by Naotaka Hayashi, who also wrote the screenplay, with original character design by Okiura. The series premiered in Japan on April 4, 2015.
Plot
Plastic Memories takes place in a city in the near future, in which humans live alongside androids that look exactly like humans and have human emotion and memory. SAI Corp, the leading android production company, has introduced the Giftia, a new android model with the most human-like qualities of any other model. The lifetime of a Giftia is 81,920 hours (roughly nine years and four months), and if they pass their expiration date, it causes personality disintegration and memory loss. As a result, the employees of the Terminal Service must go to the owner of the Giftia and collect it. The Terminal Service is responsible for retrieving androids who are close to reaching the end of their service lives, and erasing the androids' memories. Those assigned to Terminal Service work in teams consisting of a human and a Giftia. The story follows protagonist Tsukasa Mizugaki and a Giftia named Isla, both of whom work in SAI Corp's Terminal Service.
