While I don't watch much anime, I'm a sucker for anything in a cyberpunk universe. I'm rewatching Ergo Proxy and this week's Apple Child Safety news reminded me of a concept in the show.

There are androids called "autoreivs" in this dystopian future. One type is called an Entourage and it is assigned to a particular human. They are a personal assistant and follow the person around, chauffeur, and even act as a bodyguard.

@kyle Yeah, I enjoyed Ergo Proxy for sure.

If you are into psychological dystopian cyberpunk anime, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the first season of psycho pass. My understanding is that it is similar to minority report, but either way it is gritty and masterfully done.

@leimon I did enjoy the first season! In particular I liked not only the pre-crime elements, but also the overall surveillance of mental and emotional state, and their plot device of linking police use of force with real-time mental and emotional state.
