SynopsisIn the future, personal computers have developed into "Persocoms", mobile computers that look like human beings. Hideki Motosuwa, a prep school student, desperately wants to buy a Persocon but cannot afford to. One day he finds a Persocom that has been thrown away and decides to keep it. When he turns on the Persocom, all she can say is "Chi" so he decides to name her that. After a while it starts to become apparent that Chi is more than an average Persocom. Having much better performance, it seems that Chi might be a "Chobit", a type of advanced Persocom rumored to have independent thought.

This two anime are very similar.Students living on their own one day accidentally find cute girls which aren't human.They start living with them,teaching them how to speak and other stuff.Other people are looking for them because they're special and they want to take them away.But Chobits is way better then DearS.
Both animes has these cute girls following them around, alot of fun here and there and quite alot of ecchi in some episodes:P
Though... this kinda reminds me of slavery xD
if you have watched chobits
then try dears
Both of these anime are very similar; in fact, the first few episodes almost seem the same. Basically, a man living on his own comes across a beautiful non-human girl and is forced to take care of her. In the meantime, she learns to adapt with the human lifestyle and culture in a VERY humorous way. I would say the main difference between the two series is that DearS is about an alien and has more perverted situations than Chobits (although both of these anime are infamously ecchi), and Chobits is about a robot and has a much deeper plot to it. I liked Chobits way more, but if you enjoyed one of these series, than the other is worth checking out, just for the fact that they are so similar in story and comedy.
Pretty similar, both are about the two main characters falling in love. Danger seems to happen every now and again, but the rest is just them going through their normal everyday lives. After coming across their special someone, one is a persecom or computer while another is an alien, you see how it affects their lives and how their relationship slowly begins to develop towards the end of the show.
If you liked DearS then you'll most likely like Chobits, this doesn't necessarily work visa versa though. The main protagonist is a guy with little or no experience with women and somehow a cute girl (in Chobits a computer, in DearS an alien) has to live with the main protagonist. In both anime the girl needs to learn a lot about the human world which results in ecchi and funny situations. Chobits is deeper than DearS though, which is why I wouldn't necessarily recommend DearS to Chobits fans.
In both anime series, the guy takes a girl in who doesnt really know anything. They both end up living with that girl and start do develop certain feelings. The males are also pervy.
They both start out with finding a random person/object on the street with no knowledge of anything, and the whole story is mostly about teaching the person about life. The stories are both very similar and end quite similar, with some differences.
The main female characters (Chi -Chobits + Ren -DearS) are very similar in the fact that they come off very childish and cutesy. The lead males are similar because they have to go through many ordeals. DearS is basically the same as Chobits, well except for the plot and the perversion level. If you liked Chobits, but you wanted it more perverted, then DearS is definitely for you!
Premise is almost identical (except 1 is an alien the other a robot) and both are ecchi. That being said chobits is a much deeper anime while DearS is more for fan service
Exact same storylines. Don't listen to everyone else, the stories are litterally exact. However, there are some quirks that are different between them: Ren is an Alien in DearS, while Chi is a Robot (Cyborg of sorts) in Chobits. There are other little differences that you'll notice when comparing them, but there's no doubt.. if you liked one of these, you'll definitely like the other.
They are very similar. Guy finds girl in the streets. They end up living together. They're both ecchi comedies.
Both anime follow mechnical "slave" type protagonists. Story is VERY similar. Both are warm-hearted and funny :)
Dears has actually the same story than Chobits.
They are pretty much the same type of story. In Chobits, they are robots, in Dears, they are aliens. Same kind of perverted guys in both anime.
DearS and Chobits are very similar in many ways. They both involve guys who are clearly inexperienced with women. Then one day these men stumble across beautiful women who end up living with them. Not only are the men very similar, but the beautiful women are also very similar. The women in both stories know slim to nothing....
The story is very similar
Completly alike. If you loved Chobits, you'll love DearS.
both of these series have the main character girl starting out with no knowledge...making it funny what both main guy character goes though =]
A guy who lives alone finds a hot naked girl who doesn't speak japanese and he has to teach her the ways of life. In the mean time people try to capture her because she's deffective. The only real difference is that this time she's an alien instead of a computer.
again, a boy is having a sexy cute girl alone with him in his appartment =]

Cute innocent girls who only can speak one syllable turns out to be a killing machine and a super-computer.
Both are about finding a girl with no memory but both have hidden powers that awaken sporaticly in the story. Both girls could only say their names in the begining and have cute ears/horns. Both have ecchi. :D Only difference is Chobits is more of a romace and Elfen Led is full of violence and gore.
Both are utterly pretentious anime series about troubled young girls with an unattractive male by their side. No matter how much you enjoyed either anime, Elfen Lied and Chobits are one and the same because you either hate both or love both. I hated both of them.
If you enjoyed Chobits, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy Elfen Lied just as much, and vice versa. But then again, you're likely to enjoy pretty much anything that's anime.
Besides the fact that Elfen Lied is more gory, bloody, and lets face it- Violent, it has a big similarity with Chobits. Both the main characters have sides, They are named by the sounds they make, (Chobits is Chii, and Elfen Lied is Nyuu) Fall in love with the college man who found them, etc. Just watch it and you will see.

Mar 13, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 35 of 51 people found this review helpful As you might have noticed already, almost all the reviewers give this series a 10 on everything. This is offcourse not without reason. It performs top notch in every aspect. Chobits kept me entertained from the first milisecond to the last.
Story:
The story is simply amazing. It has a bit of everything going from romance to suspense. Although the story is quite slow it doesnt feel like it. Every episode shows the devolopment of the characters in a serious but also a... funny way. The first episodes will give you a big laugh, but the mood swings over to a more romantic view the more it develops.
This show is probably something you haven't seen before, the characters evolution is something quite special. To prevent spoilers you'll have to find that out for yourself.
The fact remains that the evolution of Chii is the most funny thing in the whole show. It's like she starts off like a 3 year old child knowing hardly anything about the world and needs to learn everything. And without commen sense she does alot of things a normal person would reconsider.
Art:
The style of the picture in this anime is great, they don't overdo it with drawing to much details but it is simply amazing. Everything you see will draw out the correct emotion that goes with it. The characters are made really well.
Sound:
Same as the art it is great, going from the intro to the story. The music fits the parts in the story really well.
Character:
As I said in the story, the characters develop really good. Sometimes you do feel how something is going to develop but you're not really sure. The show really does show a few unexpected things but after you see them they are explained thouroughly with a background of "how". This really adds a + to the show.
Enjoyment:
This show kept me entertained from the start till the end. I finished the show in 1 day because I just couldn't stop watching it.
Overall:
If you like a romance with lots of humour but also serious parts, then this is the anime for you. Its a 10+ in every part and will keep you entertained.

Feb 18, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 23 of 34 people found this review helpful The typical perverted boy meets beautiful innocent girl but with a twist the girl is a robot! As much as I loved this anime the story really wasn't too original or inspiring. Many places where is is just a fan service but the detailed gothic lolita styled dresses give it an up in the art category.
As for the characters they are typical and not liable to change much throughout the series. The robot twist does add a little points in this category though.
The theme son...g and the two ending songs were wonderfully chosen and the voices where well done as well.
Watching it was pleasant because it was just a funny uplifting with some dark plot behind it. It was a nice little anime that really just kinda made your day and just asked you to keep watching it.
Overall I would have to give it an 8 because even though it is very good it really isn't near the best animes I have watched but still deserves to be mentioned because it is still really well done. n_n read more

Jul 26, 200826 of 26 episodes seen 10 of 16 people found this review helpful I have mixed feelings about this series. Everybody seems to LOVE IT, and I feel like I missed the bus, so to speak.
In the first place, I'm a CLAMP fan. I love their old stuff--Tokyo Babylon, X, Rayearth, even Cardcaptor Sakura and Angelic Layer--but Chobits feels like the beginning of an era of relative mediocrity to me, especially compared to their earlier works. I know that Chii is supposed to be a perpetually-confused Robot Girl Who Needs to Learn To Love (R), but after a whil...e her doe-eyed moe persona starts to get annoying.
In the second place, I'm also a cyberpunk fan. The question of what makes us 'human' and whether or not androids dream of electric sheep is not new to me. Robot sentience and 'emotions', or lack thereof, is old ground. This does not mean it cannot still be explored and is not still a legitimate question. Chobits does not do this question the justice I have seen done to it. I know the anime is trying to steer away from hardened cyberpunk-philosophy and speculation and keep to the cutsy-moe vein, and Hideki is not much of a philosopher, but this aspect could have been better-handled. The slice-of-life aspect that glosses over the cyberpunk lacks the charm it needs.
That being said, it's the side-details and side-characters that steal the show. The book series "A City With No People" is beautiful and charming in much the same vein as "The Little Prince". Sumomo and Shinbo are a hoot. Minoru and Yuzuki are adorable. Ueda is fascinating. Hideki and Chii--yeah, whatever.
And foregoing any spoilers, my favorite character is already DEAD, so there goes that angle.
If you're a sucker for moe or anything sickeningly cute, you would probably like this. If you want an intelligent, compassionate anime about cyborg sentience and the ethics of cyberization, watch "Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex" instead. read more
