Caring for the elderly, it's something which is always of concern for a nation. But in Japan, the works are brewing for a new form of senior citizen care. The development of a new bed which can attend to EVERY need of an elderly person, without any outside assistance from people. But is this really a better, when there isn't even a person to care for the elderly patient? And does the very first test subject even WANT to be in the contraption? Strange gets even stranger when the bed starts to take on the personality of his long dead wife...

I'd heard about this title a LONG time ago, and then one day I picked it up and I thought, what the heck, lets see what this one has to offer. Admittedly it wasn't the most spectacular anime ever, animation or plot wise, but it was indeed very refreshing in it's originality. It's a peculiar anime that's a good watch for something different. Certainly strange to hear a machine that weighs tons rolling down the street destroying practically everything while saying in a very feminine voice, "Don't worry honey, we'll be at the beach soon".

I actually liked this show. It's a thought provoking concept that makes a good basis to start off with, and the progression of good intentions gone wrong works perfectly. According to the cover this was a pick of the week by Siskel & Ebert if you want a second opinion.
