Kowarekake no Orgel (Movie)
こわれかけのオルゴール
Studio: Actas
Synopsis
In the future, androids known as Parents have gained popularity for their ability to perform a wide variety of tasks, including shopping and household chores. When Keiichirou Kuro finds an older model of a Parent in a junk pile, he feels compelled to take it home. With no memories of her previous owner and no ability to handle more than the most basic tasks, it is easy to imagine how the android—which he calls "Flower"—ended up being discarded. Despite this, he keeps Flower, and the two gradually form a bond over the span of a summer. With her model being so far out of date, however, it may only be a matter of time before she breaks down for good. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

shiodomes★ 7The perfect choice for anyone with some time to spare and in the mood to have his or her heart touched. Despite being called one, this anime is not as long as the average “movie.” But do not worry! For what it lacks in length, it definitely makes up for in content. This movie revolves around Keiichiro, a young man who has lost his family and his passion for music, and Flower, an outdated, clumsy helper-android with a bad memory. The two meet at a garbage site, where Keiichiro finds himself unable to leave her behind, despite the fact that someone has obviously thrown her away.From there, the story broadcasts their day-to-day lives as the bond between these two lonesome individuals develops into a beautiful friendship. Being that it is so short on time, it really is straightforward and to the point, you aren’t really given any information that you don’t need. Some characters are introduced, but never really developed, so because of that it may seem lacking from time to time. But overall this movie is a good one, and definitely worth the thirty minutes it takes to watch.
Arboria★ 10If you're wondering whether you should watch the theatrical release or the OVA, watch this version, as it has a small extra scene where the stupid loli robot hits herself in the face with a rubber snake from a vending machine and it's cute. Very emotional piece of work here by POP, a titan among men of character designers. If you like having your heart tugged on this will accomplish that and quite efficiently at just a half hour length. Flower is super cute and makes me envy the man of tomorrow, for we are a long way off from having our own little moe machinesrunning around. Little anime, big impact! No reason not to give it a shot. If you're anything like me it will stick with you for a long time.
