''SHION'' is a Music/{{Vocaloid}} {{Fanime}} made by [=KaminariEnterprise=]. It can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRANriBgTpZ9zemizykoHSA/videos here]].
After losing his job at a high-tech corporation, Kiyoteru Hiyama suffers several further losses -- his son, Kaito, dies in a car accident and his wife, Nanami, leaves him afterward. Kiyoteru tries to get by on a schoolteacher job, only to find that several of the robots he designed are being sent back to him, including a fembot named Meiko, a male robot named Shion... and a disc containing his son's brainwaves.
Kiyo quickly realizes that he has a chance to bring his son back, which he achieves by uploading the disc into Shion -- now renamed "Kaito Shion", and soon ends up realizing that he also has a chance to get a stable job back. Unfortunately, his previous employers once again rejects him. But he is then approached by a man named Toshiro, who is willing to pay him for more robot designs.
From there, things get... complicated, especially since Toshiro has plans that may go against Kiyo's best interests...
Sadly, [[CutShort real life issues forced the series to a close before its time]], but the creator left her viewership with one last video before pulling the plug -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPIa-WsjMl4 Season 2's intended opening theme]]

!!''SHION'' provides examples of:
* BackFromTheDead: Kaito, via Kiyo uploading his brainwaves into the Shion robot.
* BareYourMidriff: Rin and Meiko.
* BigBad: Toshiro is shaping up to be this.
* BrattyHalfPint: Rin Kagamine.
* ChildhoodFriends: As a kid, Kaito was close friends with Yuki, though their parents didn't like each other. Yuki, unfortunately, saw Kaito die, and [[spoiler:is working with Toshiro in the timeskip]].
* ChildProdigy: Yuki was able to build a fully functioning robot when she was a little kid. [[spoiler:Post timeskip, she's upgraded to a TeenGenius]].
* DownerBeginning: Let's see, Kiyo is publicly mocked by his employer before getting fired, his son dies (after [[PartingWordsRegret arguing with him]]) and his wife leaves him. Not exactly an optimistic opening.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Yuki]] may be this to Toshiro, though how antagonistic she is is difficult to figure out.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The ways that Toshiro corrupts [[spoiler:Kaito]] and [[spoiler:Miku]] are uncomfortably (but fittingly) similar to a situation with a child molester and rapist respectively:
** With [[spoiler:Kaito]], he invites him over, talks to him like a friendly guy and asks him to trust him before telling him to let him touch a part of his body (his back, which is where his PersonalityChip goes, not anything more...personal). He then orders both [[spoiler:Kaito]] and Meiko to not tell anyone about it.
** With [[spoiler:Miku]], she's kidnapped off the streets and wakes up tied to a chair. With this one, the resemblance is lampshaded when [[spoiler:Miku]] screams at Toshiro to "not take her flower", to which Toshiro is actually [[EvenEvilHasStandards quite offended]].
* DumbBlonde: Len is implied to be this.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Haku Yowane, Gakupo Camui, Teto Kasane, Uta Utatane, Momo Momone, Ritsu Namine and Neru Akita all make an appearance in the season 2 ending song. Haku and Gakupo are apparently going to join Kiyo's TrueCompanions while the rest are siding with Toshiro.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Yuki's dad may have openly stated that he never liked Kaito and saw him as a bad influence, but he was clearly horrified at seeing him get hit by a car.
* FacePalm: Kiyo is guilty of doing this many times throughout the show.
* HappilyMarried: Played with--Kiyo and Nanami loved each other, but the situation they were in made things...tense. When they split up, it's primarily because both of them are emotionally vulnerable over Kaito's death and the constant issues with Kiyo's inability to maintain a steady job. Nanami even says that they're not getting a divorce, they just need some time apart.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Yuki appears to have done this during the years between Kaito's death and revival]].
** HazyFeelTurn: To be fair, [[spoiler: she still seems like a PunchClockVillain at most due to having to put up with someone like Toshiro]].
* GirlishPigtails:
** Miku has them, since Toshiro repeatedly demanded that Kiyoteru make a robot with pigtails. Rin uses them to insult her.
** Yuki has them [[spoiler:when she's a child. They're upgraded into a ponytail when she grows up]].
* IdolSinger: Miku, of course!
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In episode 4, Kiyoteru offers to show Toshiro Miku's singing prowess, and an initially reluctant Toshiro eventually agrees to listen. Cue the theme opening sequence, which is set to an English version of "World Is Mine" sung by Miku's voice actress. When it returns to the episode, Toshiro comments that Miku has a nice voice.
* MachineMonotone: Meiko starts out talking this way until she suffers a serious injury and has to get an upgrade--at which point she gains more of an actual personality.
* ManChild: Kaito, due to having the brain of an eight-year-old.
* UsefulNotes/MikuMikuDance: How the series is animated.
* MsFanservice: Len comments that Meiko is "too pretty to be a mom".
* NakedOnArrival: Shion, due to being unfinished. Curiously, when Kaito is uploaded into him, he's less concerned with being naked and more concerned with being really tall.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Kaito and Miku when they're corrupted]].
* SexBot: What Kiyo's potential boss initially thinks Meiko is. Kiyo's not pleased.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Toshiro appears to have uploaded a short-tempered, murderous one into Kaito]].
* TeamDad: Kiyo to the Vocaloids.
* TeamMom: Meiko, when she gets an upgrade.
* TimeSkip: In the pilot episode, "Return to Gray", there's a five year gap between Kaito's death and his return as a robot.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Rin towards pretty much everyone.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood:
** Kaito loves ice cream.
** Miku eats a leek once and immediately starts craving more. She even calls them [[MundaneMadeAwesome "a true nectar of the gods"]].
** Len already states a love of bananas upon first activating.
** Rin states her liking of oranges.
* TheTease: [[spoiler:Meiko playfully teases Kiyo about calling him Master]].
* TrueCompanions: Kiyo and his robots.
* WhamLine:
** From episode 1, when Kiyoteru tries to upload Kaito's brainwaves into the Shion robot...
--->'''Shion:''' OW! Dad, that hurt!
** From episode 5, when Kaito and Kiyoteru are arguing:
--->'''Kaito:''' Aren't I your son!?\\
'''Kiyoteru:''' ''[furious]'' NO YOU'RE ''NOT!'' YOU'RE JUST A MACHI-- ''[realizes what he just said]'' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone crap.]]
** And shortly following that one, as Kaito storms off...
--->'''Kaito:''' I'm going for a walk, dad. I mean... ''[venomously]'' ''[[YouAreNotMyFather master]]''.
** When Kiyoteru and Miku are checking out a house for the family to move into, we get this:
--->'''Real Estate Agent:''' And speaking of family, who is this?\\
'''Kiyoteru:''' ''[puts an arm around Miku]'' This is my ''[[FatherlyScientist daughter]]'', Miku.\\
'''Miku:''' ''[has LoveBubbles around her face]''
** When Toshiro bids goodbye to his [[TheDragon dragon]], he addresses her thusly:
--->'''Toshiro:''' I'm leaving. Take care of the house, [[spoiler:Yuki]].
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kaito Shion and Miku's hair is blue and green respectively. It's claimed that Kaito wanted to dye his hair blue when he was alive but Kiyo didn't let him.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Miku, Meiko are both S-line.
