Hotori: Simply Wishing For Hope 05/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

Suzu is an android being implanted with a dead boy's memories. He meets Hotori, a girl who's losing her own memories, and the two become friends. Suzu is a young boy... or at least, he will be. Right now, he's an android in a research facility, being imprinted with the memories of another boy that lost his life, so that he can serve as a replacement to the boy's parents. Hotori is the daughter of the head doctor in charge of Suzu's program. She has the opposite problem: while Suzu's head is being filled with memories that aren't his own, Hotori is slowly losing her own memories. When the two strike up a friendship, Hotori asks Suzu for his help. Together, the two navigate the struggles of their situation.
