Synopsis:

Set in a near-future where advanced Humanoids – artificial beings indistinguishable from humans except for their distinctive eyes – are integrated into society, the series follows Dr. Hikaru Sudou, a physician specializing in their care. By day, he provides medical treatment; by night, operating under the alias Moggadeet, he navigates a clandestine world of illegal procedures and information gathering, driven by a personal quest to uncover the truth about his missing mother.

The narrative explores the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, examining philosophical questions of identity and consciousness through the experiences of Hikaru’s patients. These include Humanoids grappling with existential questions of selfhood, limitations in their capabilities, and even the fragmented memories of obsolete machines. The anime presents a thoughtful meditation on what constitutes humanity amidst rapid technological advancement, blurring the lines between creator and creation.
