ooh... Minoru's story was kinda predictable. I find it funny when he's with Hideki... he acts much more mature than someone years older xD and I'm hating Yumi more and more! She also mistook Yuzuki as a human, right? Oh and one more thing... what's about Hideki's virginity?? He's still eighteen! Guess I have much more to learn about Japan -_-

I know the whole Hideki virginity thing was a tad bit annoying ^_^"

But overall good episode. Alternate Chii = kowai DX
And was it just me or did the alternate Chii seems a bit sexual towards the regular Chii?

Alternate Chi had the cooler outfit ; )

looks like the men in the Japan which is shown in this anime prefer persocoms torwards women.
Most of the couples I've seen so far were men + persocoms
And so women like Yumi feel inferior torwards persocoms.
I think there's some kind of rivalry.
To me that is some kind of strange and creepy.

Very nice, Chii's 2nd personality appeard again.

I didn't quite get the story of Minoru. So basically, he told Hideki not to fall in love with his persocon because he will only get hurt in the end? I don't know if that's it.

I wonder when Chii's 2nd persona will compeletely take over.

I agree, its kinda retarded that people in this Anime can forget the diffrence between a Human relationship and a Super-computer relationship, humans will always have 1 detail that even a free computer cant, and thats simply the developing brain, and the fact that we can bleed, while they need to be charged.

Ha! Everyone is teasing Hideki about being a virgin! Well, I suppose here in the UK, age of consent is 16, average age of cherry-poppin' is 17, and if you are still a virgin at 18, (unless for choice, but thats often seen as an excuse) then you are a bit usless with members of the opposite sex and therefore life. Isuppose its one of the things in the passage of life that you ahve to do by yourself. You cant get anyone to help you, or call in your parents, you have to 'score' with your own merits!

Anyways, philosophy aside, good episode. Poor Hideki doesnt realise Yumi's got a MASSIVE chip on her shoulder about persocoms. And kinda ruins the very end of his date because of it!

Ah well, If he loves Chi then she might turn into a persocom god and that would be pretty cool!

2nd Chii... Well, I don't like her very much for now.

Minoru's story is really interesting... I want more stories like that!

And poor Hideki, everyone cares about his virginity...

Great episode, the buildup on story in this episode was amazing, this other chi seems to know her past still, I wonder when she'll be able to link everything and reveal more backstory about her! But yea Yumi seems to have a crush and is a bit jealous on chi.

But damn that picture book sure is depressing...

I don't find it strange, at all. If you think about it, the whole show so far could be viewed as an allegory about pornography and how women feel they're competing with these fantasy women for their mates' affections.

But, silly Yumi. Hideki was looking wistfully at Minou and thinking about his sad story.
Poor Chi is getting sucked into a sad story, too... and Hideki doesn't even realize it.
On a lighter note, I think she'll start trying to compete for Hideki's affections. As weird as that seems to me, it is what the show's about, isn't it? And Chi isn't like other persocoms, if she's one of the legendary Chobits.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

EP 11 is supposed to be the scary episode where Chi Confirms Hideki is scared. Not sure if you are watching the DVD version but EP 11 is Chi Confirms.

I'm with you. I was getting confused reading the comments. This episode was pretty average. Hideki getting scared and acting stupid kind of annoyed me, but Chii being concerned for him was really sweet! 3/5 for the episode.

Ok thanks for clearing it up ^. I was getting confused between comments and episodes thinking one was left out or something.

A rather weird episode... I liked it though. Not too much seems to scare me or anything but it did have it's eerie moments. Quite mood fitting too. The weirdness of the jumping scenes/time travel effect was odd too.

I don't believe the remodel story. What would have happened to the other room? Seems like a cover up to me...

There was a lot of new content in this episode! No slacking at all. Tons of
progression. I got a lot of answers to many of the questions that I had.

Still can't get over that she keep calling his porn magazines yummies! LMAOOO

Alright theory time. I have no idea
what really happened but this is me guessing. I think chi is the original
persocom. Like the first one. Maybe those things hooked up to her in the photo
was her being used to create more persocom.

It 's quite simple really. Real women are hard work, confusing and all the good looking ones understandably want to date good-looking men... Say you're a not particularly attractive, introverted bloke with a boring personality. In other words, a member of the 25% of the population that no one who had a choice would look at. Which would you rather have? An average looking, similarly boring girlfriend you met working in McDonald's with ever-changing incredibly complex needs that more likely than not will end messily in divorce or breakup, or a perfect-looking persocom that will never argue unless you want it , does all the household chores, doesn't get pissed off when you're pulling late nights at the yard or out with the lads, and most importantly, will never lie to you and will never, ever leave you?

A super-advanced AI like Chi gives you 80% of the satisfaction with none of the effort, heartbreak, frustration and rejection that comes with real dating.

Humans naturally take the path of least resistance, so it would really be almost inevitable that large tracts of the population would end up dating their persocoms. Meanwhile their potential IRL partners either stew with resentment against the men and women who reject them on favour of sexy, demure machines or give up and end up dating persocoms themselves. The vicious cycle would only get worse over time.

That gothic Chi looks hot.

Poor Chi realizing that Hideki has another love interest, is she finally experiencing jealousy 101?

Man, if I had Chi/persocom around, I'd never need a human companion ever.

Yumi was really pulling out all the stops on this date! She's a very hard to read lady, but I can tell she likes Hideki a lot.

Chii becoming connected with that other version of her was a shock! Be on your best behavior Hideki, you've got an audience now!

I can't think of a worse, or weirder, idea of what to model your pet robot after. I mean, this Minoru kid is obviously really weird, so it makes sense that he'd do something absolutely insane like try and recreate his dead sister as a robot. Still, it's obviously terrible for his mental state, and... he's 100% fucking that robot.

For Chi, I wonder if she is, in some way, more than a robot. I'd imagine so because that kinda seems to be the point of the show. Idk if she's going to end up with Hideki though. Like I'm just not entirely sure I can see this show ending with the dude getting with a robot.
