Apollo no Uta Eps 1~3

Apollo no Uta is about a guy called Shogo who becomes becomes a gigolo because of his childhood trauma seeing his mother sleep with many different men. 

He goes through life without care except for his childhood friend Hiromi who has a thing for him but he brushes it away.

At the end of episode one, something horrible happens and Shogo has done something he cannot take back. However he wakes up in a world where there is a different Hiromi who is a singer and is no longer Shogo's childhood friend. Shogo's mom is different and I was thinking is this a fix your mistake in another timeline story.

At the end of episode 3, Shogo goes to a different timeline/world this time with robots/artifical humans and it seems like this series is about him running into Hiromi in different worlds. This is a very low budget show and visually there is nothing special and I don't find there is much chemistry between the characters to keep me interested.

Apollo no Uta is based on a work by Tezuka Osamu, the god of manga so the story should be good but I am not compelled to watch episode 4 and there are too many things to watch. Meh.
