Yokohama_kaidashi_kikou the OVA, is mostly a character portrayal of a single robot called Alpha. The backrounds are beautiful watercolors. You could look at almost every pane as a painting. This is a small gem of painted cell animation. Don’t expect any action in this story. It is a post cataclysmic setting, well after any period of chaos. A sequel was done to this four years later (2002). It has two episodes also.
The series depicts the daily life of a robot who runs a coffee shop some time after the Earth’s ecology has collapsed. It is noted for its spare pen-and-ink drawing style, as well as its calm, meticulously paced stories and engaging characters. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō won the 2007 Seiun Award for best science fiction comic.
