Plot Synopsis
Based off the shounen manga by Clamp, "Chobits" is set in the near future where persocoms (human-like computers) are common in the world. Cue in your average nice guy Motosuwa Hideki, 18 years old, a retester and a virgin at that~ He sets off to Tokyo to study at a prep school in order to get into college and on the way finds an abandoned persocom in the trash pile. Reasoning that he's reducing industrial waste, Hideki brings the the persocom back and switches her on.... At first it may seem like another boy meets mysterious girl kind of story, but Chobits goes much deeper that your average shounen story. The storyline explores some of the more mature aspects of an imminent future with machines replacing humans, of love, friendship, and what it really means to be "alive." Though even with it's mature themes, the overall look of Chobits is lighthearted at best. The comedy is very funny, though a bit ecchi at times it's done tastefully enough that anyone can enjoy it! All in all, Chobits plays out as a well written and thoroughly enjoyable love story.
Story & Characters
ââ¬Â¦The plot for this anime isââ¬Â¦well wrongââ¬Â¦funnyââ¬Â¦strangeââ¬Â¦well, great in many waysââ¬Â¦
I know that Chobits is a REALLY popular
animeââ¬Â¦even my no-anime-knowlage friends
know it by name. I think that Chobits is a really popular show, because it is
REALLY specialââ¬Â¦I have heard of NO
animes like itââ¬Â¦NON at ALL!!!!!! The
plot is about the future, [in I don't know how long] computers that are in the
shape of humans, in the story known as Persocoms. [Get it so far????] Then you
are introduced to Hideki, who is I think a 19 years. Currently studying in some
school. Anyway he is this country kid [or man] who want to download porn and
want a Persocom that have
curvesââ¬Â¦LOLââ¬Â¦[talk
about media influence] Where was I????
Ohââ¬Â¦Hideki works at this shop, one day
he was walking home, and in all his luck found a
persocomââ¬Â¦[lucky guy] The persocom he
found is a special one. A series called 'Chobits' persocoms who are more like
humans than the others.
The story deepens from thereââ¬Â¦and makes
you crave for more as the episodes get
onââ¬Â¦
Personally I think the plot is niceââ¬Â¦very neatââ¬Â¦and everything happens slowly, and nicelyââ¬Â¦

Art
ââ¬Â¦Rememberââ¬Â¦this is by CLAMPââ¬Â¦so what do YOU think the art is like???? So, the art is absolutely amazing. Each character is drawn beautifully, and all are different from each other. [I love their hairââ¬Â¦and EYES!!!!!, not to mention their outfitsââ¬Â¦*sign* dies of delight] The backgrounds are also drawn great. Very VERY VERY VERY detailedââ¬Â¦ everything looks just GREAT. And, don't forget the motionââ¬Â¦Mmmm. it's all drawn CLAMP style. [As in GOOD]
but the anime art is not as good as the manga art...
One of the only animes I think that can compete with this one has got to be "Loveless" (another great series). [Me love me loveââ¬Â¦]

Sound
Soundââ¬Â¦Hmmmââ¬Â¦it isn't very often that an anime has such a good background sound, in which each song matches each scene nicely. The music in "Chobits" is great, both alone or with the anime. [The only anime that can beat it, from what my ears tell me is ââ¬ËLOVELESSââ¬â¢] The songs in Chobits are soooooooo very emotionalââ¬Â¦me not a very emotional personââ¬Â¦can actually feel from the musicââ¬Â¦[see what anime can do to you????]
But there is there isnââ¬â¢t much music in this series.... All the sound is GREATââ¬Â¦but after listening to it for 10000000000 timesââ¬Â¦anything can get boring...

Presentation
Finally, I think "Chobits" is a good anime. I canââ¬â¢t give it any more because, love and emotions donââ¬â¢t really go with meââ¬Â¦Iââ¬â¢m a morbid personââ¬Â¦and Chobits is sadââ¬Â¦but just too happy sometimesââ¬Â¦Iââ¬â¢m really sorryââ¬Â¦but overall, I think is isnââ¬â¢t a MASTERPIECE. I have only seen 3 episodes so far, [but read all the mangas I can get my hands on].
I think that over all, all mature teen can take this seriesââ¬Â¦but it has some funny dirty jokesââ¬Â¦YAB!!! [ex. Hideki had a wet dreamââ¬Â¦LOL]ââ¬Â¦oh and by the way, there is some OK skin exposure in the seriesââ¬Â¦ but like I said it is OKââ¬Â¦not that badââ¬Â¦The series has NO and I mean no Actionââ¬Â¦[boringââ¬Â¦]

Once again sukie, try to keep it neat, and in complete paragraph form. It is much easier to read and gives off the impression of a well written review^.^
You shouldnt throw too many personal comment in each section, I think personal comment on how you feel about the anime (as a whole) should be kept to the Presentation section.
And it seems you slot in useless comments here and there just to get the word limits because of all the comments that is .. uh, once again, disorganised... And one more thing, you only watch 3 episodes out of 26 episodes? Reading the manga wouldnt make you get the art and music and presentation section well..
i kinda like chobits but I think its not as great as you describe it.. sorry there, just making a comment.
peace!!
Over-rated! I give it a 8, 7, 6, 8 = 7.25/10! Sure the anime was very amusing but just because you like it soooo much doesn't mean it gets a high score. The art isn't that great considering the animation details of other animes during that time was better although i can't deny some scenes really make me horny! The music was also repetetive and that makes the music a real downer. It was presented very well though with all the plots from the manga having great similarities from the anime!
No offence dude! ^_^ \/..
Chobits was a very interesting series and an even better manga. The anime didn't go into enough detail and saved the whole story line for three episodes. The manga went into detail with the story line and there wern't many fillers inbetween. There were a lot of fillers in the anime.
I heard the manga is way beter than the anime! True Y/N ?
One of the very few animes that caught me by interest after the thrid episode, now my little cousin can't stop saying 'Chiiii' every time he sees a cute girl on the street.
You did a nice job on this review. I loike the personal coments I lets me kno wthat you really love this anime!!! Have a great day
Yay!! i like chobits all the time, but your right, its bored when you seeit many times, and for the music its so sentimental, Thats because I love it, from the background music...
PANTSU pantsu!!
I think you did add a bit too many personal comments in it, kinda makes it harder to read
and you made the series sound quite ecchi or something, it's true
there are some ecchi bits in it, but I think the story is a lot deeper meaning
than that.
I quite liked it when I watched it, but I generally like Clamp stuff anyway. I don't know why it got as popular as it did though, wasn't as great as some other anime.
