Are you ready for the Time of Eve? Well I should be as it's the first anime pickup of 2015 for my collection. Here's a look at what the Deluxe Edition has to offer.
Time of Eve: The Movie is a mash up of the original OVA series of the same name (Time of Eve, or Eve no Jikan in Japanese) with additional new scenes included. The film was crowd-funded on Kickstarter which has become a new thing for anime this decade as it helps both anime creators and distributors to get their products out there with the help of their fans (Anime Limited did the same thing by providing special releases for Mai Mai Miracle and Patema Inverted, and so did AnimEigo for Bubblegum Crisis). The kickstarter was very successful and finally got released a few months ago on Blu-ray (DVD was not planned as Pied Piper felt it wouldn't compare to Blu-ray).
The Deluxe Edition contains the film on Blu-ray, an Original Soundtrack and a 56 page booklet with interviews, a short story, lyrics and soundtrack listings, all in a quite sturdy cardboard box. The film is region free and contains unlockable subtitles. The UK version of the Deluxe Edition (which I currently own) is exactly the same as the other versions but has the BBFC included on the front slip and discs due to the UK laws (rating must be on disc and on the package). It was also distributed in the UK by Anime Limited.

Sometime in future Japan, androids have been involved in every aspect of peoples lives. One day, upon checking his android's behavioral log, Rikuo, a student, noticed his android's returning times have been odd recently. With his friend Masaki, they found out the place where his android, Sammy, have been visiting: a small cafe called Eve no Jikan where androids and human are not seen as different. Upon talking with the "people" in the cafe and discovering more of Sammy's behavior, Rikuo changed his view about androids and treat them as friends rather than tools. At the same time, elsewhere in Japan, the Ethics committee is trying to impose policies to reduce the involvement and use of androids in society.
