When an amateur mad scientist attempts to build a robotic duplicate of this dream girl, Marie is the result. Of course, there are the usual unexpected complications. He built her so well that Marie has a mind of her own and a whole host of questions to go with it. The same questions that each of us ask of life. Where did I come from? Why am I here? Why do I look just like that girl over there?! Well, perhaps we don’t all have to worry about that, but Marie does!

Where it came from
My Dear Marie was released in 1996 as a three-episode original video animation series produced by Studio Pierrot. Coming out of an era when the studio was known for its contributions to the magical girl and shojo genres, the series centers on a high school boy who builds a robotic girlfriend to overcome his shyness. It serves as a lighthearted, comedic exploration of adolescent longing and the eccentricities of late 1990s anime tropes.
The character designs were handled by Atsuko Nakajima, a veteran animator whose work is highly regarded for its expressive and clean aesthetic. Nakajima brought a distinct, charming visual identity to the series, ensuring the android lead felt both artificial and endearing. While the series remains a niche title in the broader Studio Pierrot catalog, it is often remembered by collectors for its quintessential mid-90s stylistic sensibilities and the playful tone of its direction.
