The anime adaptation of the short story “5-Oku-Nen Button” from Sōta Sugahara’s Minna no Tonio-chan manga series is getting a 13th episode on September 30 at 10:30 p.m. JST on Tokyo MX and other stations.
In “AI Emo-kun,” Tonio, Jaimi, and Suneko find an AI named Emo who can calculate how to optimally clean their room.
The thought experiment revolving around the 500 Million Year Button has been a philosophical discussion topic in Japan ever since Sugahara’s story launched.
The “5th Dimension Button” story features a button that when pressed, gives the user a milllion yen but transports them to the fifth dimension.
