Chobits

I've been looking around On Demand (comcast) and in the Cutting Edge section under Anime network (or was it selects?) I noticed chobits the other week. Now i do remember seeing a wallpaper or two of this but never knew it was chobits. Then i saw one of the drawings my friend Seifer did that was chobits and i was some what curious. And then, there cam along cheshire, my little buddy ol pal here on FAC. And i remember her making a chobits outfit and she showed us in the photo thread in general discussion (good luck finding it if you try, that was ages ago and that thing is huge, and cheshire is a picture whore so to speak Razz

) And that only made me think more about looking it up someday, getting it from netflix maybe.

When low and behold i saw it on demand in the anime network section and for free! Wee! Even better. So of course i checked it out. I've seen episodes 18-21 so i don't know anything else other than that. And once i get done watching my ghost in the shell movies and series i have on order from netflix, i think i'll pick up with chobits from there ^_^

But seriously, what's your input on this thing. I mean, i haven't heard all that much of it, but some. And i haven't really gotten a bad or good vibe from it.

Well, I've only seen eps 1-4 because I have dial-up (grrr...) and my local library just recently bought it. Of course, I had to check it out. It is very cute and has some nudity, but you should be expecting that if you've ever read the manga(which I have). I've really never watched anything other than mainstream anime before, and I don't know if this counts as mainstream, but I think it's pretty good! ^^

I've never seen the anime series but I read all the manga... well, I own it... but I think they're like the next best thing to sliced bread (other than Tirgun, Sailor Moon, and Inuyasha... lol) But I guess they're good... right? I'll have to check that out on Netflix... Very Happy

heeheehee... humm... and thats all I gotta say... WTF?

or is it? :huh: oh well! ^_^ - Anya -

I have all the mangas of Chobits, it's a cute series, not exactly my favorite, but it's still cute ^^ My friend on the other hand... obsession is too light a word for it XD He's even tried to convince me to cosplay as Chi on occasion

I watch Chobits On Demand. It's cool. I've been watching it since last summer I think. I saw episodes 1-15, the next episode will come out next month. It's amazing, it gets my little ones calm. Surprised

Ah, seems i'm not completely alone in being a little clueless on the subject of matter eh? Well, i just moved so we got a different digital cable company to deal with. Comcast i had before, not it's optimum or whatever it's called. Haven't had much the chance to sit down and figure it out, look through it all and such so it may or may not have anime on it. I doubt for free like comcast did but meh.

I guess it's back to ordering it on netflix huh ^_^ Oh well. Hmm, thanks for replying though. Anymore info you might have i will gladly accept on this one.

[b]QUOTE[/b] (animenfo.com)

In the near future, personal computers take the form attractive women, called Persocons (editorial note: "persocons" actually means PC or personal computer in Japanese). Hideki Motosuwa is a poor student who failed his entrance exams to get into college. So, Hideki is forced to move to the city, get a job, and attend cram school in hopes of passing the next college entrance exam. He of course, wants a Persocon for himself, but is way too poor to afford one. One day, while passing a building, we finds a Persocon in a trash heap. However, his new find doesn't seem to be like the others he's heard about. She doesn't seem to have any operating system at all, and only says "Chii". As Hideki learns more about his Persocon (aptly named "Chii"), he finds that she is not of any known type, and most likely some sort of homemade model. He also learns of the rumor of the "Chobits", Persocons with the ability to think for themselves, instead of running only complex programs. Find out what happens between Hideki and his new Persocon, as she learns more about her environment, people, and life.[/quote]
