At his "Yasuda Gensho Studio by Xenotoon," Yasuda not only conceptualized, wrote the storyline, and is currently directing the production, but he also managed the storyboards, technical direction, and computer graphics. Tsutomu Ueno was in charge of sound effects, while Yūichi Imaizumi supervised the sound for Sonilude. The soundtrack was composed by Kenichiro Suehiro. The movie is being distributed by Kadokawa Animation.
Plot of the story:
Taking place in the near future, Akira Mizutame, a brilliant young scientist who developed Salt, a robot that assists people in their daily lives, finds himself at a dead end after a series of failed inventions. When a friend suggests he could "power up" his personal life by creating a girlfriend. He develops an artificial partner, "No. 0," who quite literally becomes his girlfriend. Torn between her programmed emotions and her own evolving feelings, No. 0 faces an emotional conflict. Will love blossom between her and Akira, who is unused to connecting with others, or...?
