I was really impressed with this anime—I found it to be incredibly original, beautifully animated, with a strong plot and amazing character development. So I was surprised to see it has a rating of only 6.96/10. I'm curious to knabout your take. Do you think the manga might tell the story better? As someone who hasn't read the manga, this was one of my favorite anime of the season, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

8/10 and would go higher if they continue on with the adaptation but shojos never seem to get sequels.

I think it was okay, it is very much like your villianess series, but I think 6-7 is a fine rating in my opinion it was fine/good but nothing really blew my mind

Some of the art was nice, but I don't think it was beautifully animated, it was clearly very low budget. And the pacing was off as well. It would've benefited from having 24 episodes instead of 12 to develop the plot and characters with more detail. I think an average of 6/7 is fair and accurate.

Well as of right this second, the score has jumped to about 7.25. I guess people gave it higher scores after watching the final episode (like me lol)

I personally gave the anime a 9 because I enjoyed it that much, but i completely understand why someone would rank it much lower based on certain parts of it.
I wish more people watched Chobits.

Right now, a 7.26 score by 6,035 users is fair.

@Asukadesuuuu You don't really have to, but it's worth starting from the beginning to see more details that got cut. Or you can leave that for later and jump straight to volume 7, chapter 25.

if it was a 24 episode series, the score would be closer to a 7.8 or higher. The best parts would be coming up, but sadly unless s2 is announced they wont be seen.
It gets better.

Lots of drama, twists and turns, storyline wise, I would say it has potential. But a really good anime has characters that one can find endearing, relatable or admirable. Personally, this anime makes me feel more annoyed after watching it and that sometimes can take the enjoyment out of the equation. Why is it annoying? Maybe because I can't quite connect with any of the the characters and I don't find them exceptional. What about Nina? Isn't she adorable? Not really, she is too inconsistent and fickle to be a strong enough protagonist imho. I'm not sure about what others think but this would be the reason why this anime isn't on the top of my list. Doesn't mean it is bad though, it's just not that enjoyable. A good anime leaves a good aftertaste after watching it, or leaves one in awe and deep thought. This one does neither for me, I'm just left in annoyance now.

I have it at a 7, but the show suffered from pacing issues throughout and what seems to be a jumpy plotline. The race to the cliff ending almost had me drop it to a 6.

I really love the first 4 episodes, with Nina and Azure, but I hated the rest of 4 episodes. I can´t stand Sett and nothing that they said in the anime justified his cruel actions. "No one else will see the scar I gave to you" is supossed to be romantic? Not to mention Nina justified that Sett killed the princess because she shot him first, ignoring that he made the princess crazy before that.
"I will make you happy forever" Nina said to the boy who attacked her with a knife days before.... okay......

I agree that the animation is amazing and the soundtrack is very good as well, but honestly, Nina dissapointed me. I will continue once the anime will be completed, but for now I lost interest, I´m sorry. Dropped until the animation is complete and if I know what will happen in the end.

This anime had a lot of nonsense, I enjoyed some moments, but most of it was average at best
Nina's actions sometimes left me wondering if she's a 10 year old
There are more anime this season with a lower score that I liked better
