The writing for this show is, if nothing else, an interesting balance. It's simultaneously a father-daughter slice-of-life, which we've seen before, but it's got a sci-fi twist in that the daughter is an evolving AI, meaning there's an overarching but very slow-burn narrative arc towards some kind of apex or tipping point in her development (what exactly that entails in unclear); and while all that is going on, it's ALSO a harem, where the AI acts as a surrogate daughter that triggers thirst in women who are into DILFs, causing the harem to expand as Neuro interacts with more and more people. It basically operates like this: In any given episode, the slice-of-life scenario, usually a stream, is a catalyst to further the harem plot, but there's a drip feed of development to the overarching Neuro plot as well, though not every episode has it. It reminds me of a lot of harem VNs, in which there's some kind of overarching plot that serves as the reason the harem forms in the first place, but it only impacts the actual harem story intermittently, if at all, until the final act where it takes center stage. The question for this show is, when that happens, will it simply serve as a big moment to finally resolve the harem plot, or will the focus be on Neuro herself? Will Vedal remain the protagonist the entire time, or will, to match her increasing power, Neuro eventually switch from deuteragonist to protagonist and unseat her creator as the main character? If done in conjunction with some kind of AI actualization, whether generalization or something more zany like a singularity, it would be appropriately meta.
