Maybe, its because of its girly title or perhaps that, the main character, Echo, is aptly referred to as a doll. Quite a smart pun, the princess thinks - someone pretty, whose existence is for a specific purpose, helpless and controlled.
And because her memory gets erased every time she completes her assignment, each episode is like a whole new pilot run. The moment she is uploaded with new "imprints", she becomes a totally different person - Outdoor girl, Sexy negotiator, motorbike chick... etc...
Echo - getting ready for her "treatment"
But what really attracts the princess to this series is its underlying theme . Beneath the glamour, fight scenes and fabulous plots lies the basic question of the trade-off of free-will and life's unique imperfections for our desire of a perfect life (think: matrix).
If you have a chance, would you want to sell your soul to the devil for a glamorous, high living life or choose live out the drudgery of everyday mundane life that is seemingly pointless.
That is the question the princess asks herself every Monday morning as she readies herself to work.
