Chobits...

Post by 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.
