Today, the upcoming anime film project Make a Girl held a livestream event packed with news, art and discussions. During the presentation, fans heard from project creator Gensho Yasuda, met the lead cast and found out more about the story. The "cyber love suspense" film will take place in the not-too-distant future, where young science genius Akira Mizutamari has developed a helper robot named Salt. While he's succeeded in commercializing Salt, all his other inventions crash and burn—until a friend suggests that having a girlfriend might help him "power up." To that end, Akira engineers himself an android girlfriend, No. 0, who is programmed to love him. But over time, she begins to wonder whether or not her feelings are real.
