Anti Reset 2024 / AI is just an excuse to see two handsome guys kiss in this by-the-numbers BL

If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful dissection over the possible implications of AI caretaking and romance, Anti-Reset is not the show for you. Instead of contemplating the power dynamics, or the possible personhood of robots, or even the possible overdependence towards AI, the show just mostly plays out like a typical romance between a househelp and their employer, except with a creepy uncle that is much too invested in his nephew’s sex life. And for a show about futuristic technology, it just feels really retroactive to have the gay couple play out in traditional gender roles, with the AI slave created to do traditionally female assigned duties. Really, the only point of Anti-Reset that succeeds is seeing two handsome guys kiss in pretty lighting.
