I know nothing about the manga "my wife has no emotion" but rev and I watched the first couple episodes of the anime and I don't think we were invested the way you're intended to be. Nothing his robot says or does, at least in those first couple episodes, is actually outside the realm of what any current chat bot could achieve so it just reads as a dangerously depressed man anthropomorphizing his food processor, and that is canonically what it is. It's not even marketed as a robot wife. It's just a cook that downloads recipes from the cloud. He just falls in love with it and interprets its algorithmic reactions like maybe, just maybe this corporate product he bought is self aware enough that it cares about him.
I'm sure the series goes on to evolve the characters and get more complicated than that, and/or creepy with its obvious fetish slant in the usual anime ways but episodes 1-3 at least are like a morbidly funny glimpse into the tech industry's disturbingly believable future. By the time he's taking the kitchen appliance on a public date for everyone to see and crying over it when it runs low on battery you just want to scream sense into him before the second hand embarrassment kills you both.
Like there was definitely a time when I was younger that I'd have immediately bought into the suggestion that this robot character is conscious but in 2024 it's like "oh god. that is a stainless steel mannequin driven around by chatgpt and that actually is going to be everywhere by the 2040's, tops"

zoro fell first but sanji fell harder BUT ALSO i think zoro is very restrained in how he pursues sanji up until theres a mutual confession and then he goes completely batshit. i cannot see this guy being normal about anything. pre confession zoros sulking in a corner while sanjis doing his thang, post confession zoro is looming over his shoulder barring his teeth.
sanji confesses and zoro blue screens and when he snaps out of it the first thing he does is propose. once he gets the go ahead from sanji hes doing everything his caveman brain can think of to keep him. hes gonna marry that cook and theres nothing anyone can do about it

The Loyal Pin - Episode 6
The first reason I loved this episode was the fact that this episode began with the girls not only switching patterns (floral vs. lines) but also switching positions.
The second reason I loved this episode was Prik being extra by making noises and motions just to let Pin know that she knew what the lesbians were doing, and it wasn't sleeping.
And the third reason I loved this episode was THE SEX!
Pin and Anin kissing each other wherever and whenever is the kind of romantic storytelling I want to see!
And Pin and Anin having sex wherever and whenever is the kind of historical GL storytelling I want to see.
But as happy as I am that Pink Person Pin wore purple to combine her and Blue Beauty Anin's color,
And that they went on a a little date that paralleled the date that they had before Anin left for England the first time,
There are still color-coded forces (unintentionally) standing between them.
So even though these color-coded girls are in love
And having great sex about it,
Other people will continue to be whole ass problems for them!
(Not Pranot though. He sits at the same table with Prik since they are the only two people who seem to already support queer rights and wrongs!)
Because Anin's color-coded brother is being a big problem!
Anon has been consistently red color-coded, but Anin's oldest brother, Anantawut, who was once blue like her, stayed entirely brown this episode.
Which could be an issue if it means he'll become more traditional, conservative, and predictable.
And although I don't think Pin's mom ever means any harm, she is the epitome of femininity and womanhood.
She can cook. She can clean. She can manage an entire compound of servants all while looking docile, so as much as I love that Pin received the ruby set from Anin's mom for her birthday,
It feels like the jewelry is the first real step into chaining down Pin into a traditional role of womanhood like her mother since this came after the conversation about Pin and Anin needing to get married sooner rather than later.
Normally, red would be passion and heart, which is nice that Anin decided to put red berries on Pin's cake to show her she loved Pin.
But Pin lost her color a bit this episode when she became depressed that Anin was leaving again. Only the tiniest bit of pink lingered at the edge of her dress.
So I think her mother will be even more adamant that Pin get married so she will be too preoccupied with her husband and (new color) to dwell on her best friend being gone, but I think there is an ally in our royal midst!
Anantawut's new wife also seems like the epitome of femininity and womanhood because she can cook, clean, and take care of her prince.
But when I look closer, she is wearing pink AND blue.
And at the lunch where marriage is discussed, she is, once again, wearing pink and blue with a purple skirt (pictured above)
So even though Blue Beauty Anin doesn't have control of her circumstances now.
And neither does Pink Person Pin (who did not deserve to be left without a goodbye!)
I have faith that someone in this family will be able to support the girls when the times come because Prik can't be the only person in this house I respect.
Right?
