The story of chobits is one of an ever expanding but god awfully slow, romance. Even with 26 episodes, 2 of which being recaps, it takes forever get anywhere and when something does happen it ends far too quickly to make up for it. In the beginning it just focuses on the life of the main character but as it goes on, you learn and it expands on the relation and feelings of the people closest to the protagonist which in the end revolt back to the main two characters and their relationship.
Art is despite its older release, is something ahead of its time. A style seen still in anime made 5 and 8 years after it so it is certainly one of an interesting make. Shading and tones in the bulk of the scenery with cell shading shadows and neat glow effects during major points. However with this, it does have a few parts where the animation is lacking in its transition frames.
Music is one thing other than the opening and ending themes, that is rarely in each episode. Its only used in either a quick change of mood or a highly emotional scene. Otherwise it remains absent throughout the bulk of the anime.
Character is the biggest part of this anime as is expected with a romance. But its not just romantic character development of just two people. It eventually expands and shows secondary characters finding romance with the ones that love which comes back around and help the main characters relationship. I does make a habit of taking its sweet time to progress anywhere major though.
Overall enjoyment was very half and half. As mentioned, it's slow to get anywhere, leaving large gaps of boredom. But it does many times add instances of spontaneous humor that grab your attention in-midst of the boredom and get you interested in it again. At least until the next string of boring events. It had light feels in one of the side characters relations and a little more towards the ending of the main story but nothing that really tugs at your heart which is a little disappointing considering all the lead up the anime does.
