This is my first review i am writing for any anime, so please bear with me and correct me if i have done anything wrong.
So first off, i have only seen 14 episodes out of the 26. I had really high hopes watching the trailer, and even listening to the opening song gave me such joy into considering watching the anime all the more. However, if you are a human being with decent morals and is very perspective on life, this anime is not the right choice for you. I gave this anime 3 strikes before i decided to drop the anime into my
...
very rare and empty DROPPED list.
The anime with a troubled farmer boy who recently got rejected from college, and decides to go to a prep school to increase his chances of getting into college.It is also noted that he is a huge pervert who can't take his mind off porn or lustful thoughts every 5 minutes. When he first finds Chii (a persocom--> a human looking computer with multiple functions such as phone calling and web browsing), this is where the whole thing starts to get out of hand for me. ME not being a fan of ecchi, my biggest fear came true when Hideki(main character) activated Chii by touching her cooties. This was the first strike, but i found Chii adorable, mimicking and doing some very rediculous gestures of Hideki. So i gave this anime some more hope.
Now, remember that prep school that hideki is attending to? Well it turns out that the his class is instructed by a smoking hot young female teacher. This chick was awesome at first, since i thought she had a sick vibe and personality and was fine. Not even gonna bother wiritng her name, since it disgusts me everytime i even think about her. Now Chobits seems like the anime where everything is lovey dovey and happy anime that you can watch without any stress. WRONG. As you continue watching, you will notice that every character has a dark past, which is alluded to when they are all dealing with something. Now back to the teacher, she one day acts different from her to usual happy self. She even takes it to the level where she is drinking and spending the night at HIdeki's place. Hideki best friend has been acting weirdly towards him as well, especially when Hideki mentioned that the teacher spent the night at his place, which his friend immediatly gave him a death stare and cold shoulder. It is then shown that his friend and the teacher are having a secret affair. This immediuatly pissed me off since the teacher is married and this goes against all my beliefs and morals. It made me uncomfortable watching the rest of the episode so that i just raged quit on the browser. You will find out the reason to why a troubled teacher would seek comfort from her student (WHICH IM NOT SAYING), but whether you agree with it or deem it reasonable enough to run and cheat is up to you. I didn't find the reason strong enough, but this is my opinion and everyone is raised and believes in different things, so i am not judging anyone opinion. This was the second strike, which i almost didn't want to continue watching, but since i like saying SUMOMO so much that i gave its last and final chance.
Finally, i stopped watching the anime after episode 14, since it was getting to the student teacher relationship crap which i highly disagree and felt uncomfortable watching. So i decided to read the manga. Until i found out the the other girl i liked, also had a dark past. Turns out that this chick is 17years of age, and ends up with an old 39yr old man. Again, i don't agree with this and i immediatly gave Chobits its last strike regardless of Chii cuteness and what not. Im not even going to get into detail why and how this happened, for all i know this made me sick.
Overall, this anime had such high potential with the design of the characters and how adorable it was. However, the morality and situational items are what screwed up the story for me. I really wanted to continue watching the anime for Chii and sumomo, but i really couldn't stand another minute of the anime. I technically watched up to episode 15, but i only watched the opening song, then i dropped anime for good :D. I would not recommend to those who have suffered a similar situation and can relate as it can be nostalgic and painful to bear with, or those with thick skulls and stuborn, since you would be thinking about why does this have to happen for a very long time. However, if you enjoy cuteness, ecchi, and funny crude humor, this anime is for you, as lopng as you don't take it too seriously. I enjoyed the humor, just not the story.
Now to get into a deeper thought, if society has truely accepted robots into their daily lives, the big question is would we be able to tell the difference from reality and our desired fantasies. These persocoms are the main reason to MOST(not all) of the troubled women in this anime. If we are not able to control our fantasy urges, how are we able to classify ourselfs as regular human beings. A person who loves a persocom so much, that he denies the attention and love his wife yearns for, is considered a freak and should consider pschological help. This fears me all the more, because when that day comes, will i be able to control my urges? Priorities always comes first, and i hate to see women cry... regardless of the situation or trouble they go through. it pains me when i was watching how many women were hurt and went through BS so called solutions to patch things up.
Anyway thanks to those for taking the time to read this review, i gave it 3 strikes and it struck out. You gotta be mentally and emotionally strong to watch something like this on a serious note lol. Something that i am not capable of. Til my next review!
I didn't finish the anime, but i read the manga and read summary to the anime.. so don't argue that i don't know what i am talking about since i didn't finish (WATCHING) the anime.
