Introduction
Black Cat Cafe is located in the fifth ward of the Imperial Capital. Having lost their purpose after the war ended a few years prior, advanced mechanical dolls known as Automata have been restored and now work at the cafe wearing elegant kimonos. While they adjust to the peaceful world, events of the past continue to haunt the Automata, preventing them from letting go of the responsibility they once held.
Among the Automata working at Black Cat Cafe is the recently restored Haizakura, who has lost her memories during a reset. Her identity and role in this unfamiliar world are a mystery to her, but one thing is certain—she loves to sing. With never-ending curiosity and beautiful songs to guide them, Haizakura and the Automata search for their new purpose together, supporting each other no matter how rigorous that endeavor might be.

I think this is one of the best anime i have watched till now as sometime the witty way the character back story was conveyed is one of the examples, it's deep but not everyone can get that.
I like to watched the anime which MCs are not mess and loud so this is the enjoyable anime for me, some of the characters could get more screen time.
The nature of the anime is good and can sometimes relate to the viewers. If you are looking for the Slice of life genre, you should give it a go. I like the way the anime is presented. Although the ending is a bit rushed, the rest of the anime is enjoyable.

The show’s visual and design easily sustained a baseline of 9 with full potential to top a 10, but never in my life have I seen it lose all its score’s so fast through each episode.
The bad:
The biggest problem is by far the content. Shallow. Each character’s theme story feels shallow and unfulfilling, and even the main line story has no substance in it. The challenges and sad moment is over forcefully engineered, and each story is just as predictably boring as the next.
The show also prides itself by being heavily music focused. The show seems to have forgotten the fact that the music needs to be actually good. Almost all the songs are forgettable and blend together, with the main reason being that it doesn’t fit the theme of the character. The only exception to this is Houkiboshi’s so…

A good thing from this anime is this song, the character design (I like the artstyle) and the seiyuu they use. I watching this show till the end. But I don't like the phase of this anime has, its's to fast for me. And the story is to mid even for the SoL genre. I thinks there is only a few people will take liking for this show. the main character well....... SHE'S SO CUTE!!! The artstyle really fitting this anime. Well just watch it. Maybe it ill fit's you.

This anime is really nice. It starts off seeming like a nice slice-of-life anime, allowing you to get connected to the characters before plot gets in the way. The plot is incredible, with twists you can kinda see coming but you can't really be sure till you see it, giving you that nice feeling of being right.
The characters also look and sound amazing, each character's personality is developed well, if the voice and body for each character was swapped to something completely new you could still tell just by their actions alone. The characters interact in a nice way, each one's personality seem to be consistent, but not drawn to fit consistency. They're realistic in the way they aren't just about one thing and one thing alone, even if their personality usually tends to reflect that. Someo…

I think this anime is good but I think this anime wil be better if this anime is sequel. It's means the story not start from what this anime approched to audience. I think this anime will be better if this story of this anime tell about the war. How the era of robot's war and the sequel of the story is like now how this anime approch. Like Clannad which have 2 season first season Clannad and the sequel or second season is Clannad after story. That's why I gave this anime 7 from 10. This anime is good but not too good because How this anime start point of the story.

At first glance at Prima Doll, one might see the 6.92 average rating and the cursed words “multimedia project” in the synopsis and instantly cross this show off of their potential Plan to Watch list. However, the fact that you are here means that despite of all that, you decided to also scroll down to the review section to get an idea of how the show was received. If this is you, then you’ve come to the right place. This review is here to give a spoiler free synopsis of what to expect from Prima Doll and explain how the average score and some of the unfavorable reviews don’t do the show justice. Let’s begin.
If I had to describe Prima Doll in one phrase, it’d probably be “moe Violet Evergarden”. If you haven’t watched Violet Evergarden, then definitely go watch that first, because while…

Prima Doll was an anime I was looking forward to as a Key anime fan and have to say they still are masters of making sad scenes.
The story and the world have flaws or stupid things which don't make sense but the anime still manages to make the episodes make you feel sad when it wants you to.
The Ost is a big part of the reason it is able to do so. The ost was my favorite part of the show.
The animation and background art is also good and beautiful respectively.
The characters are all good and there is no one I hated. The are cute and cool when the need to be.
This anime will not be liked by everyone but might be liked by fans Key anime or SOL anime. My score is: 7/10

"Metal statues which resemble living human girls. They understand the mind and have an inner voice."
This is the tagline for Prima Doll, one of the more recent mixed-media projects to come out of the legendary VN studio that is Key/Visual Arts that has little to no Jun Maeda involvement with it, most certainly after the disastrous Kamisama ni Natta Hi that just broke the good streak like wildfire. But, even with or without Jun Maeda, Key itself as a name has already been driven to the ground and never been the same since the somewhat tumultuous premise of an outer-world space with Rewrite, and that's where Prima Doll comes in with one particular common novelty that I'll get into later in the review.
But first, let's not get too deep yet, and understand what Prima Doll is all about. It's…

When the show wanted to incorporate themes and concepts from multiple shows (Violet Evergarden, Vivy, and Sound of the Sky), but... ended up failing miserably. One of the could have been if the show had been properly executed. At the very least, the songs were enjoyable, and you could feel for the characters at times.
Honestly, the story felt all over the place from the start, and at times felt rushed and forced, as did the drama, which ended up not adding much to the overall experience of the viewers and is the show's major flaw. The show had a very interesting premise and an essentially nice start, albeit the story resembling that of shows like Vivy with the AIs, but referred to here in the show as the automata, and the conflict, and Violet Evergarden with the episodic sad encounters an…
