Directed by famed director Yasuhiro Yoshiura, Eve no Jikan takes place in a futuristic world where the human race must now share their space with androids. These androids are unlike any typical run of the mill, as they've not only developed full artificial intelligence, but also having the ability to function with complex emotions as humans normally do. Due to this issue however, discrimination takes place in society and many androids find themselves isolated from the world around them. Eve no Jikan however is the only place where they can find solace, as the cafe caters to both humans and androids alike. Rikuo and Masaki must now come to terms with reality but also learn of the problems these androids face in society, especially when a dark organization comes to hear about this particular cafe.

Discrimination is just about everywhere in this world, and this anime speaks on this topic with extreme attention to detail. Masaki has a personal hatred towards the android race, and so Rikuo must show him that they're no different than humans and must come to form closer relationships with them. While watching you're immediately gripped by the prejudice that these androids deal with, as many patrons of the cafe share their stories and we learn more about the severe separation that's plaguing the world they live in. We come to see a development over time that shows Rikuo and Masaki feeling an intense sorrow towards these androids, and so they both learn of the struggles they go through while coming to view the true colors of human behavior.
