CHOBITS ENDING

Postby CaTaClYsM » Mon Dec 02, 2002 5:50 pm

could you explain the ending to me in great detail? there are some things I can't quite understand. Like the "data removal" part. who was getting deleted, how... all that good stuff.

Lets see, both of the sisters were deleted when she removed her data. What is so hard to understand about the ending. EoE is hard to understand but not Chobits. If you have any questions about more specific stuff, post it.

It's the whole data eraising thing that I want to know about, I say that when freya was told to "eraise data" it was basicaly the equivilant of "format C:\" since it would be imposible to mean anything else because freya was not told to delete any specific files, or files relating to a certain subject, or cetain size, or certain name, or anything else. But I keep hearing things that conflict with my theory that REALY don't make all that much sense.

I don't know if a whole lot of theory can be put into this. yeah i would agree with you that a format C:\ was what she intended. Maybe what they are trying to get at.....besides get a good sappy ending, is that what even though the personocons are just technology, they somehow have a soul that can't be "erased" Notice how all the personocons at the end started having real feelings and things after chi does her white light thing.

They also mention that all the personocons were connected to that one dude, maybe chi escaped before the format and re-uploaded herself into the body again becuase of her desire to be with the one she loves. I mean chi's sister downloaded herself into her sister before she died. Maybe similar thing happned.

I would really doubt that they really though about the symantics of what was happening in the ending, just that they wanted a end result and just made it happen.

There are plenty of techincal and astrophysical explanations to this one....that might have been the point all along.

Well, I also posed the question at animenation.com, and one person said that when you format a hard drive, it doesn't actually delete everything, just sort of "marks" them so the data can be overwritten at any time. This person claims as part of their job they actually recover data from formatted hard drives. I don't know how true this is, but if IT factual, that could explain how it happened quite nicely.

that is actually true....but who knows what the technology is like in the chobits world. A std format will erase the data, but a low level format doesn't just mark things as deleted. It overwrites them will blank data so you cna't recover it. "deleted data" will only be marked as deleted until you need that space to put a new file, then it is overwritten. But some stuff is recoverble anyway. The DOD uses some tools to overwrite the same place on the hard drive multiple times in order to get rid of all the traces of the data that was there before. Like a low level format, but not on the whole drive.

I use a program called BCWipe to remove all the "saved" stuff I delete. It is a variation on what the DoD uses. It wipes your drive clean, and it actually saves you a lot of space. At least once a month I put BCWipe on DoD-level wiping, then defrag. I can usually come up with a gig or two.
