Chobits...

Postby OmniStrata » Sat Jun 29, 2002 11:05 am

Any news on this anime?

One of my old guild members, "Freeman" said that I would like this series if I enjoyed "Onegai Teacher".

One word sums up this anime: "Pantsu".

Watch episode 4 of this series and yes you may agree.

I'm still finding it awkward yet quite unique and enjoyable that a team of women made this anime. And yes, Chii is just oh so damn cute!

^_^

What are your thoughts on this anime? :wink:

Well, the thing is with Chobits is that every single episode is "filler". The whole show is "filler", really.

But for some reason that's not a bad thing in this anime.

It's cute. I'm not sure if it's something I'd buy (well, maybe the manga) but it's not bad.

I love the style of the op though. I so wanna make amvs with swrily retro backgrounds like that. Very nice.

Nice opening theme too.

Well from what I could read on the TBS website there are at least 16 episodes.
Don't become obseesed with Chii, as Minoru-kun says "You'll only end up in tears" I know I did.
I'm not sure if I would liken it to Onegai Teacher, but I guess the comedy is pretty much the same.
That reminds me, I really should be getting back to my video...

Ooooh... Swirlies...

I don't really call it "filler" though I haven't seen the whole series. From what I've seen so far, the episodes do seem to have a "planned" flow in Chii's intellectual Development...

As episodic as the series seems so far ("filler" sounds a tad harsh), I think it's definitely fitting for a show like this.

I made the mistake of looking up some Chobits sites to get more info, and I think I might have spoiled something for me. :? In any case, from what I can gather, it looks like there is some sort of ongoing, deeper plot.

Is it just me, or does Chii kinda remind you of a Tamagotchi? :o

Personally, I looooove this show. It's soo cute, and the romantic subtext is enthralling, if you're into that sort of thing.
Very much a shoujo anime for boys (like Love Hina, although without quite so much slapstick).

Love Hina?

Yes, it seems there's multi love interests here, but not as weird as LH.

I like Love Hina because the Fanboy within likes it. Everyone has one.

Beware the fanboy/girl within...

Though if you look at my top 10, they are kind of rare and drama hits me harder these days. (KANON, Sniffle...)

I love Chiiii I'm pretty lonely :( and a Chiii is what I need. Actually Chobits is ok but I do hope the plot thickens and she get's rid of that stupid ass book she reads.

Um... that stupid ass book is part of the plot thickening. Reread it carefully.

I like the Chobits manga a lot better than the anime, it's cuter. I really dislike the alternating solid color and white bars that show up whenever Hideki flips out in the anime.

Tokyopop better hurry up and come out with the next volume already. (and more GTO too!)

i like chobits. It's a really well done anime, just that what you expect from CLAMP. damn, did I laugh. :D
But I don't like it that the anime wents over into a psychopatic anime (> episode 10) this matches simply not to chobits.
