Chobits

Chobits (ちょびっツ, Chobittsu?) is a Japanese manga created by the Japanese manga collective Clamp. It was published by Kodansha in Young Magazine from February 2001 to November 2002 and collected in eight bound volumes. Chobits was adapted as a 26-episode-long anime television series broadcast on TBS and Animax from April to September 2002. In addition, it has spawned a video game as well as various merchandise such as figurines, collectable cards, calendars, and artbooks.

The series tells the story of Hideki Motosuwa, who finds an abandoned persocom (パソコン, PasoKon?), or personal computer (パーソナルコンピュータ pāsonaru konpyūta) with human form, that he names "Chi" after the only word it initially can speak. As the series progresses, they explore the mysteries of Chi's origin together and questions about the relationship between human beings and persocoms. The manga is set in the same universe as Angelic Layer, taking place a few years after the events of that story, and like Angelic Layer, it explores the relationship between human beings and electronic devices shaped like human beings. Chobits branches off as a crossover into many other stories in different ways, such as Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic and Kobato.


Well has anyone ever watched this anime?

It's quite a great one IMO and a bit of a different anime too..

Specifically, I'm your average anime fan, interested in only action anime like Dragonball or Yu-Gi-Oh and whatnot and I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, but Chobits was an exception to the rule, as the stuff about computers and androids pulled me in and I actually enjoyed the seris quite a bit.

The series only lasted 27 episodes, which is pretty terrible for a great anime like this one.

It's a great anime, though I would recommend it for a action fan who's looking for something different, along those guys(like me) who are interested in computers and maybe for those who enjoy romantic comedies..
