I watched this on animax last year in english version. This is one of the winning entries on Animax awards (3rd Grand prize winner - 2004 by Maya Miyazaki with the contest theme Robots).
The storyline is really nice and heartwarming..
I wouldn't want parents who'd give birth to me just so they could be satisfied. I especially don't want parents who'd put a part of me into a robot just so they could pretend I'm still alive even after I've passed. That's just too selfish.
I watched this on animax as soon as they finished the contest proper that had this vid...and the storyline is really good...the end is a classic heart breaker but you'll see another side to sci-fi....more like amazing plot to come up with really! 2 thumbs
