Chobits! OMG! Thats a good show. I just saw eps. 18, 19, 20, and 21. Out of the 4 I saw I liked 21 the most.

 

[Dignity]

[Hantsuki]

And now for an oversized spoilerrific review...In other words don't read ahead if you wanna have it all ruined XD

I think it's an issue of the manga being better told than the anime for starters - the manga was basically using Hideki and Chii as foils for stories about various man/machine relationships, not just a silly fanservice show like the anime was for the most part, - and also an issue of what constitutes a good person between the two cultures - Chii was kawaii in the full connotation of the word; she wasn't just cute, she was also somewhat domestically talented and well-mannered. In the western context, that's kinda no big deal, but if I've got my cultural info straight, it counts a considerable bit more in Japan.

The big note is that in the manga it's clearly delineated that Hideki can't have sex with Chii, so the love has to be that of genuine nature. In a sense, it's basically a way of working with the last man-machine parable could be tackled by Chobits, which is can you a machine as a person, not as a walking talking sex-toy? Hideki says yes, he can. In a sense, it doesn't even seem that weird given that are people, families even, out there who have bought Real Dolls and proceeded to treat them very similarly to Persocoms: purchasing them complete outfits, having picnics in the backyard with them, sitting them with the rest of the family at dinner. If people are willing to treat objects that only look fairly human as human, you only need about as much personality as Chii before someone goes head over heels. CLAMP is closer to reality than they may even realize with Chobits.

..Tee hee! I don't mean to brag, but, I have all the manga and anime of Chobits! I even have their first soundtrack and know all the songs by heart!

 

[Hantsuki]

well,that sorta is bragging,but to me,it's more like obsession XD

 

[Cherrim]

I've got all the episodes on CD. *downloaded last year* :D I've also got most of the manga. I've read all of them except the fourth volume (which I've read half of XD) and then I own about 4 of them. o_O;

XP I don't much care for the background music. There's one song that I'm dying to get a copy of, but I don't think it's worth it to go out and by the OST. o_o

 

[Ryoutarou]

Only song I even liked from the series was that opening XD

 

[Cherrim]

I adored the second ending theme. <3 I don't even know why, I just loved it. o_O

The opening was cute, too. :D It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head for months, though. x_X;;;

 

[Ryoutarou]

It's playing right now on my CD player...Things way to catchy <_<

 

[Midori Chi]

yeah..I don't care about the background music either....The second ending theme is sad to me...I like the opening themesong!

 

[Zero ex]

yea surley chobits is cool, and i have the episode chibits, it is of some 7-10 min. and most of the episode is only of summomo and kotoko

 

[Absol upon a time]

I have seen Chobits, thought it was quite good, but personally is not something I usually watch. I have read the first volume of the manga as well, and prefer the manga more I think. Chibits was a little add on wasn't it? I am pretty sure I have seen that as well. Personally for me I prefered the later episodes of the series. But overall a good series that has had a lot of success.

 

[mewthree w/armor]

Oh god I loved Chobits, I found it as funny as hell but got surprised at it sudden serious turn. One word. "UNDERPANTS"! The dub was supringly good too.

 

[Kasumi-chan]

I've watched the first few and last few eps of Chobits. Somehow. o_O But my friend's borrowing the first disk so I can't actually watch it again. -_- Chii is so cute. ^^ Well, most of the girls in the anime is cute. ^^;; What I like best are all the detailed outfits. They're like... *0*

 

[Kenny_C.002]

I've finished the manga a while ago, and decided to pick up the anime. Never really did get into the anime tho, thought it paled compared to the manga (which was very well done).

 

[Midori Chi]

....Do you know Chobits was created by CLAMP? Yep! the creators of Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa,etc...
