Incredibly light hearted and enjoyable! Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence follows (you guessed it) Cecilia and Lawrence as they serve the village they live in by running the church. Cecilia however has had a huge crush on Lawrence since the day they met and tries her best to get him to notice her feelings without outright saying them.

In other words this anime has the premise down of a typical light hearted romance, which I always enjoy!

I really enjoyed both our main duo and the side characters. I think they were well written in a way that they bounce off each other quite nicely though there's obvious romance going on between the pairs. Abel in particular ended up being one of my favorite characters and I'll admit it left me wanting to know a bit more about him.

I also think it's important to mention It's not often we see anime that follows or revolves around religion. While Christianity is very obviously at the forefront of this one. It's done so in a way that it is presented in a light manner. What I mean by this is that while they do tend to their church duties such as helping those that visit, its never in your face about what their beliefs are. Do not go in expecting Lawrence to suddenly give a spiel about what is a sin and what isn't. So I think the light hearted approach added to its charm.

As far as the romance, this falls in the 'caretaker' type of romance which I don't mind at all! Though some may find their dynamic more father-daughter like they still have their more intimate moments that break them away from that. Fair warning though, Lawrence is incredibly DENSE! within the first episode you will find that out pretty quickly and it carries on throughout.

However Lawrence's denseness is handled well as he doesn't come off as annoying. Whereas other anime will have their male MC blushing furiously from seeing the girl in the pajamas she wanted to show him, Lawrence's types of reactions are centered more on "Oh. They look nice. Anyways let's have breakfast" all said with a warm caring smile. I have a love hate relationship with Lawrence for this to be honest (but it's mostly love).

Diving more into their feelings for each other would be going into spoiler territory, but just know that its a slow burn.

Overall its a very lighthearted anime, easy to digest in every aspect. It's so simple its hard to find complaints to give. I guess my only complaint was the ending wasn't as satisfactory as I'd hope but I think that may be different for other people so don't just assume I am correct on this.

Story takes place in a dystopian Utopia, Utopia cuz the city is nearly perfect, everything is fine nothing wrong. Dystopian cuz everything else outside the city is shit.

In fact we don't even know whats outside the city.

In the far future Earths climate has been completely fked up and rendered inhabitable by humans. So now they are living inside domed city. Like a giant Dome like structure is isolating the city from outside world. Its pretty advanced. They have robots as their personal assistant, they are called Entourage's. Population is kept under controlled by the central authority so as not to overburden the Cities capacity. How you ask? Well people aren't being born anymore rather they are cultivated. Yes babies are harvested and given to current citizens from time to time to keep the Population going.

Our protagonist is a 19 year old female who's also a cop. Her name is Re-L ( as in Real). She has her own robot/entourage she calls Iggy.

She complains a lot. Like how the city is boring. how people are mindlessly following rules n all. A typical Teenager.

Anyway, so everything is going Great in this city... oh.. right i didn't tell u the name of the city, its called "Romdeu".

....so its perfect, as Re-L calls it 'a boring Paradise'.

Everything is going great untill it doesnt... The Robots Start commiting Suicide...Yes thats right the companion robots start killing themselves one by one. it starts with a small section of the city and our Re-L heads over to investigate.

Somewhere on the other side of the city . A bunch of scientists are are looking worried as they can't seem to control what seems to be a human like entity, that they've kept sedated and are studying or whatever.

Finally the thing manages to break free, its movements are inhumane, its strength like a beast. The autorities are trying to keep it a secret apparantly its very existance is a secret. Now they have to capture this thing before it wrecks havoc and people find out about this thing and also find out whats causing the Robots to go suicidal.

Are these two incidents linked? What is it, that the higherups are trying to hide?

Re-L wants to find out more about it and a journey starts that'll make her question everything she knows.

Theme: Sci-fi, Mystery, Adventure, Philosophical , Questioning meaning of consiousness and that sort of stuff. Mind fck Story that you need to rewatch to fully understand.
