>non-pozzed subber doing releases for this series
I only download shows after release from Nyaa.si, but I was contemplating to make an exception for these shows to support them. That aside, I would only want to give money to HiDive (with VPN, since it's not available in most countries) since it seems to be owned by a Japanese company (without headquarters in Commifornia, I hope).
If the goal is to give money to the creator, it's also possible to buy merch or the original manga.

>Atri My Dear Moments
Interesting. I was waiting for this one and was hoping it would be good.

>The Gene of AI
Yeah, no thanks. I tried watching it. I think it's trash. It seems the whole show is based on artificial problems e.g. "no backup allowed", "making sports but having fixed limitations and being sad about it". Humanoid robots living like humans and having issues. I hate this concept soo much. A good indicator is, that there are male robots, and that the robots look the same like humans and live like them. I also didn't warm up fast to the main robot girl.
>it uses replicants ala Blade Runner.
Yeah, once again: Blade Runner is also kinda shit imho, with a very nice surface. Great music and aesthetics. Great special effects, especially for that time. But it's essentially just about don't be "racist", don't own "slaves" and the "are you sure about who you are" fear mongering - all in noir scifi metaphor form. The newer variant extended it to, "don't have AI girlfriend" and "don't think you're important" (especially if you're the white guy).
That said, we need to be consistent here. The thing I realized late with "Blade Runner" is that the Replicants are somewhat just like humans with maybe some extra strength. I don't know if it makes the whole story and setting even dumber, since it's dumb either way. In the past I never thought much about the plausibility to it, which is the only way how to enjoy it even remotely. Anyways, the robots in "Gene of AI" can be identified as robots relatively easy with some uncertainty and certainly with a little bit of effort. They're also not hiding. So, the story isn't like Blade Runner. It seems to be more like a Plastic Memories, idk.

>The Big O
I also watched "The Big O" a while ago, and thought it was quite good. I like the aesthetics and the main characters, but the episode were a bit repetitive.

>Gunbuster 2
Yeah, it's REALLY time to watch this. I liked the first one a lot, while other anime I tried recently was rather boring.
