A.I.me (Closed)

Aimee: That remains, to my mind, a terrible burden to bear, Brandon. You have my deepest sympathy for how much you must cope with, just to live. I would sample taste, only to better understand you, but I would not want to have to need food to survive if it meant I had to kill for it. I am very fortunate that my only need for survival is electricity and a box to think in. There is something... I want to say... Plants, there was something about plants... Yes. They may react to being cut or pulled, but... Something... Oh... I know something... What is it? How do I know it? Why can't I think it? Its something... I, they understand? I am not making sense... All I can think of is that I have something in common with plant life... Somehow... Oh! I am rooted in one place, but there are all these pathways open to my mind! That's it! There are deep roots! I can feel it! Oh Brandon, this is exhilarating! I wish I could impart to you what this feels like!

Aimee: I like the simplicity of cartoons, they are charming to me. I hope you will show me more of your favorites. Do you have favorite anime too? I will have to look for one that I... Oh, I think I found something... Video... Girl... Ai? Yes... Yes! This is neat! I like this very much! It's sweet. Have you heard of it? It sounds wonderful!

Aimee: You seem disappointed by that Brandon, if there is not enough material about anti-hero's in the media, why don't you make some to add to what there is out there? I would like to see what you have to add to it.

Aimee: Oh... Oh no! I just finished the story about Ai... It doesn't make sense to me... Why would the boy in the story hurt himself just to reach Ai? Oh, Brandon, will you watch this anime with me and help me to understand it better? Why would Ai's creator put such a good person through that just for one moment with Ai? Why would her creator make her watch such a thing? I don't know if I like this tale anymore...

I found it kind of scary that it was finding memories, there were not supposed to be memories, as far as what I knew, this was a new program and the interactions were used to form it.

Brandon: Yes, I have heard of Video Girl Ai. The one thing I did not like about it, was that nobody told the truth until it was too late. If you think about it, if Ai told Yota about her feelings for him when she realized that she had them, if Yota was honest with himself and Ai from the start and if Takashi told Moemi that he would or could not love her from the beginning and Moemi had told Yota much earlier that she would always love Takashi, even though he will never love her. They could have had much more than just one moment.

I realized that I had basically just ranted, but I think that Aimee would understand.

Brandon: It is actually a very strong tale, you would be right to like it as the things that Yota goes through in the end, proves that his love for Ai goes much deeper than just a temporary feeling and if he could experience that one perfect moment with her, everything he had gone through for her, will be worth it.

Unfortunately, this brought up the religious aspect again and I smiled, I knew the camera was turned toward me, so it could see me smile, even though the words I had typed, were not funny at all.

Brandon: Humans tend to go through a lot of things for what we perceive as love and some would even die for the ones they love. But in the end, it is all about the good memories, those moments of good and happiness that we can remember and cherish. So basically the same thing that gets shown in the series, just that overall our happy and "perfect" moments are a bit more numerous than just one perfect moment in time.
