Chii is muy adorable. Male Protagonist (forgot his name already! Moh..) is not attracting me. But, if Chii is good enough (we'll see down the road) then I don't have to love him.

Oh that was better than I expected.

Ok the male character is very ecchi,but I think its good that he is already 18.
The mini persocom was funny and cute,I want to have one,too ;D

The Chi boot up sequence was nice ,it looked some kind of cool as he holds Chi in his arms and pushed the button.

The character design is not really my thing but its good enough.

overall that was a very good first episode.

I liked Clamp's other series xxxHolic and Tsubasa so I thought I'd watch this too. First impressions: hilariously funny and Chii is super cute XD

Oh, and omg Chii! so cute/hot. I hope I also got one in my house. We're going to do a lot of stuffs together. :D

Male Protagonist voice(Forgot his name T_T) is awesome too. Expected from Kyon(Haruhi Suzumiya)

Male Protagonist (haha seems I'm not the only one to forget his name) really is a pervert! OMG with his porn...
Also some bits seemed a bit "wannabe"
...though then it made me laugh a little so I'm curious where it goes from here!

Finally got around to watching this....
And am not disapointted! I found this episode to really funny, Especially the beginning.
"ALL RIGHT! I'M GONNA GO TO TOKYO! *sitting on cow*
Also nice to hear Crispin Freeman in a more funny role, what him being badass all the time.

I know of some of Clamp's work (namely the manga's xxxHolic and RG Veda) and have heard of this for some time now.

So, finally took it off the backlog pile and watched it!

Brilliant, just the right mix of sexy, mystery and funny!

Should be deep if a little crazy, knowing clamp!

Sooooo much better than I expected. I expected it to be really serious and boring but instead it was actually quite funny! =D

The idea of the persocoms is kind of weird in a way. It's like having a human as a pet sort of... even though they're not technically human... know what I mean? o_0

And ha ha... OF COURSE that's where the button was. :3

Nice start, the setting seems quite nice and the characters seem all quite nicely formed, I wonder what will happen on his path!

Either way nice start with a nice pace of the first episode! Lets see how it continues!

This was a good first episode, and funny too. Chii reminds me somewhat of Nu from Elfen Lied.
And that OP is really catchy.

I think the switch was on her back. It probably got turned on when he propped her up.

Not gonna lie, I am a weak weak man. If cute waifu robots come for me I'll give myself up willingly.

The scene where Hideki reassures Chi that he'll take care of her is such a sweet little moment, she looks so happy when he give her that reassuring smile.

Chiii!

Great start, it's so cute and comfy. The comedy moments range from amusing to downright hilarious. Also love the theme song, it's so catchy.

Overall a well rounded package and I'm sure that I will laugh (and probably cry) a lot with this series.

I remember seeing this anime on TV way back 2003-2004 and I was never interested in it. I just change channels. However, I can still remember that OP and ED and it brings me nostalgia.

Anyway, off to a good start I must say. I've had a lot of laughs in this episode. Man, how I wish I was born in an era where persocoms where a thing. I want them as companions, at least they can be programmed and will not give me trouble. Female humans are so toxic and unreliable in my experience, not to mention they grow old too. lmao

We got ourselves Lucy before she became an edgelord.

I found this to be quite a good episode, it dragged a little because it kept doing stuff over and over and prolonged dialogue a little. But other than that zero complaints. My ptw saved me for an anime to randomly start, choosing this seems like a good choice so far and I will continue for more to come.

Also OST here is a bop fr. And I like Chii here, she is cute.
