Water Chobits down? they wouldn't dare.
I've already pushed the the issue on the Aussie distro (to the point where they caved in and agreed to do it) So I'll most likely be launching it next year (at least down here).
I'm not sure why it would even need watering down, even for TV. Then again censorship and such are more-or-less non-existent down here.
And as for the manga... it's better than the series, in the way that GITS Stand Alone Complex is better than the movie. Or is it?... OK I'm still recovering from a Guu marathon, sorry if it sounds like I'm raving and not making much sense.
