Dear Captain,

Thank you for taking on this fantastic role. It is one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. I mean, how many actors can say they$B!G(Bve played an android?

While Reiji is a very lovable, I thought your portrayal of Lloyd was amazing. You got the mix of human emotions just right. You can$B!G(Bt be too robotic and you can$B!G(Bt act too human at the same time. As Lloyd$B!G(Bs character developed through the episodes, gestures as subtle as facial movements and how he walked changed. Lloyd became more emotional and the way he looked at Asahi in Episode 9 (when you patted her head) is full of feelings. So when Lloyd$B!G(Bs memory got wiped in Episode 8, you really noticed the difference in his interactions with other characters.

Another strong point is the story itself. It kept me guessing each week with unexpected developments e.g Nanase, Hoshi and Ashimoi-san getting shot was unexpected. At the end of each episode, online friends will discuss the plot, what$B!G(Bs the significance of this and that. We still have some questions and we hope they will be answered in the final episode.

A big thank you to all the cast and crew. Your fellow actors were all well suited to their roles, I particularly enjoyed the performances from Shibasaki-san, Honda-san and Endo-san. Team Lloyd is very impressive. Each episode$B!G(Bs production value is consistent good.

Yes, androids do dream of electric sheep.

Your daily blog entries are definitely a bonus.

We want to see you in many more different and challenging roles. This one is full of gun-slinging, fight scenes. Perfect!

Looking forward to your next adventure! Do your best!


Lots of love from Australia (with some of the best beaches and surfs and waves in the world)
