Plot

Dual and Dorothy are two programs who reside within the Box of Wisdom. Their job is to enter the various worlds containing the memories of people across many timelines, deleting worlds that become infected with viruses. One day, they come across Remo, a girl who has lost memory of who she is, who is searching for something known as the flower garden. While trying to figure out who she is, Dual and Dorothy spend time with Remo, learning to find joy in various things that they'd normally deem pointless. However, they soon begin to not only learn about what Remo's true purpose is, but also the state of the world outside of their box.

Reception

Theron Martin of Anime News Network gave the film an overall B rating, praising the film's outstanding background art and cuteness, but criticizing the story for not realizing the potential of its serious tones and being overall too condensed.[7]

gollark: What I think most programs do is just download a single DFPWM file *straight* to the tape, without storing it on disk.
gollark: Try and break it down into its component parts and be specific.
gollark: Do you have some sort of specific question/issue you ran into?
gollark: Probably just use the default value for `dklen`.
gollark: `pass` is the password input, `salt` is the salt, `iter` is how many times to run it (you want a value which makes it fairly slow but not so much that server admins will consume your soul), `dklen` is the... output key length? I'm not sure.
