ATRI -My Dear Moments-
In the near future, a sudden and unexplained sea rise has left much of human civilization underwater. Ikaruga Natsuki, a boy who lost his mother and one of his legs in an accident some years earlier, returns disillusioned from a harsh life in the big city to find his old countryside home half-swallowed by the sea. Left without a family, all he has to his name is the ship and submarine left to him by his oceanologist grandmother, and her debts. His only hope to restore the dreams for the future that he has lost is to take up an opportunity presented to him by the suspicious debt collector Catherine. They set sail to search the sunken ruins of his grandmother's laboratory in order to find a treasure rumor says she left there. But what they find is not riches or jewels; it is a strange girl lying asleep in a coffin at the bottom of the sea, Atri. Atri is a robot, but her appearance and her wealth of emotions would fool anyone into thinking she's a living, breathing human being.

Episodes
1. To the Cradle in the Ocean
In the near future, much of the world has been forgotten at the bottom of the ocean due to rising sea levels. Natsuki Ikaruga, who lives in a small town surrounded and stranded by the sea, is invited by a mysterious woman, Catherine, to search for a treasure in his grandmother's house who was a marine geologist. One day, he dives to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine and encounters a mysterious capsule with a girl sleeping inside. The girl was a humanoid so sophisticated that she could be mistaken for a human.
2. A Warm View Together
"I'll be your leg, Master!" Atri, who was supposed to be with Cathrine, has come back to Natsuki. Although she was pumped to be of assistance to her new master, she fell into the ocean while carrying him and failed at cooking… It's as if she is a piece of scrap. Atri seems to have received a very important order from Nonko and tries to remember what it is, but...
3. Hitman Small Fry School
Natsuki accompanies Atri who is on her way to school. However, when they arrive, they find that most of the school is underwater.
